I know Doctor Who is on it's Mid-season break, but I don't think we need to derail this into a Torchwood thread. It's an entity all it's own, maybe give it it's own thread. . . stop getting me excited in thinking people are posting Doctor Who(Non-Spinoff) relelvent shit !! :-?

But we talked about Sarah Jane Smith Adventures not that long ago... this is sort of the go to thread for all Who & Spin-Off related discussions.

Torchwood: Miracle Day's latest episode was good. The one where the government sanctions these new categories (One, two, three)

A very interesting twist, though at some level I did see it coming. I don't know, Miracle Day is good and all, but it's missing that Children of Earth level of greatness. Sure, the deep stuff is there, but it's missing the tension and the drama.

Doctor Who: Let's Kill Hitler - Series 6 Episode 8, Prequel - BBC One

Quote:

Prequel to Let's Kill Hitler. The adventure continues in this prequel written by Steven Moffat... The battle of Demon's Run has been fought. Now return to the TARDIS to discover a little of what happened next.

Honestly, that was the best piece of acting I've seen Matt Smith do yet.

I didn't really like Let's Kill Hitler too much.

I mean, Hopefully it'll be one of those situations I can look back at after the series is over and appreciate it, but for now, It was just.. meh.

Oh god, it's going to be one of those "Drag out a single story into what feels like infinity" seasons, isn't it? I miss being able to watch any episode and not having to catch up on 4 episodes worth of back-story.

This, this, this, this ,this, THIS! I was just discussing this same point with a buddy earlier. He was like, Most shows are like that (then named all the shows I talk about regularly.) and I said, "But this is DOCTOR WHO!" and besides where does it say that All shows need to be alike to be good?

Lucrious, they mention the other companions (and show them) multiple times very early on in the last season, although those scenes got cut down, they're on the internets. They even went so far as to reference the much older companions who aren't even part of the new series.

Oh damn, I completely forgot about the web short with the Doctor and Amy that referenced them all, my bad, I'd only been thinking of the main episode's of the series recently.

And as for "Night Terror's" great episode, and really loved some of the dialogue from Smith as always. Can't wait for next week now too!

Torchwood finale thoughts:

Spoiler

But seriously, a very spectacular ending in terms of action and story. It wraps up many storylines with class and leaves us with a nice and solid cliffhanger for more.

I enjoyed the Torchwood miniseries, but it did drag on and elaborate on parts that weren't important by the end of the series and tried to wrap the major part of the series up in 2 episodes. By the 5th episode we should've known what was up, and then spend more time elaborating.

Past 2 Doctor Who episodes were great. Last episode was VERY unexpected. I don't expect it to be longlasting though, maybe for a few episodes until the finale or the "specials".
