But just one where they win and they feel happily victorious.
Right? It hit me later that they never got back any of the missing people. They stopped any more first-borns from being taken, but they didn't get to save/rescue those that had already been.
It's a really good Eccleston-era Doctor Who episode/pair (the first one is The Empty Child). The pair introduces Captain Jack Harkness, which is as much win as the world needs all at once anyway, but it also ushers in "Are you my mummy?" as ultra creepy for Who fans.
BUT that's not why I cite it. I cite it because of the line "Just this once, everybody lives!" And then they all dance because they're happy.
What? It could happen to our boys!
Oh! I like Captain Jack (I've seen clips of Torchwood) and I know I've heard the "Just this one, everybody lives!" line.
Yeah, that would be nice.
because they're happy
which only means that the next episode will be full of torture and betrayal and pain and gone to hell in a handbasket. IJS.
It doesn't get as far as the dancing, but lots of jubilant Doctor. It's quite beautiful.
Our boys have been victorious, but not often enough triumphant.

But that was gonna happen
anyway.
Great EP. Umm a minor emergency came up, so I saw most of the post trauma conversation,but missed how Dean got released from jail.
He fought back with the nasty iron the fae don't like.
That is how he beat the redcap. He was still in jail. I got an impression from the conversation that the DA let him go but did not catch why.
