10% of the world or 6000 a day regardless of sex or age?
I don't know if i should be talking of such things on a friday night but seeing the week i've had and what i've just seen I'm sure the important people would understand.
I've just seen the final episode of Torchwood.
I reckon they're gonna get some complaints about this one, not least of all cos there was no pre-episode insurance note about "how this show contains scenes that some viewers may find distressing..."
i am distressed.
i'm talking almost Grey Zone distressed here guys.
certain scenes in this were horrible and i reckon not what happy/shiny/BBc1 is made of.
kids being dragged away by soldiers despite the pleading cries of their distraught parents contrasted with stony eyed US and UK ministers ignoring their conscience (they are in politics after all) and green-lighting the whole thing.
it didn't sit well with me.
plus there were things that strike chords with World War 2 for example the conditions that the soldiers do their duty at the expense of their own families
and how the children will be taken to be 'inoculated'. shit, why don't say they're being taken to 'labour camps in the east'?
wait. they did that in the last series of Dr. Who.
finally Gwen and the children hiding in the sheds to avoid being taken away, it just gave me shivers and images of the Warsaw ghetto during the deportations.
i did like how the government official who had been the Prime Minister's lackey for the last 4 shows committed suicide with his entire family to prevent his daughters being taken away.
I would have thought poison was a good option but a .45 worked just as well :-(
after it's over all we see is the Prime Minster being toppled by one of his underlings (note: the woman who decided the 10% rule in the first place! bitch!) and sitting there looking shell-shocked.
i would have executed the motherfucker, or at least given him a smack in the gob.
in fact i would have gone Loki on that whole boardroom at one point. especially when they're doing a Wannsee Conference impersonation and hashing out the final details of the round-ups.
finally Jack's damnation at having to sacrifice his own grandson for the good of the planet, which leads not only to his daughter's hatred towards him but also his self-hatred which is unending and impossible to console due to his own immortality.
so he runs away to the stars.
is this the end of Torchwood?
i'm guessing so. unless Jack returns to earth with a new crew (and a rebuilt Hub) it's over for Wales second greatest export
After the Stereophonics.
that's a personal opinion but open to argument.
overall i liked Torchwood, but only a week's worth?
i dunno, we get 25 episodes of Jonathon fucking Ross but Torchwood has 5?
life is unfair.
