Children of the Whoniverse
Already Torchwood Friday again, huh? The last couple of weeks have both flown by. At first I was waiting to watch Miracle Day as it aired on Space a day late each week, but last week I downloaded it on Friday night just for the hell of it; I was going to watch this week's episode tonight, too, but I'm getting sleepy, so I think I'll hold off until tomorrow. So yeah, not a Torchwood reaction post.
You know, before I was just wondering where people like Martha and Mickey are supposed to be during the Miracle, but now that I've finished SJA I have even more characters to be concerned about. What the hell are those kids supposed to be doing in all this? Just because the entire world has gone to shit in Miracle Day, I like to think that some future regeneration of the Doctor comes along and takes Luke, Clyde, Rani and even Maria off on adventures until the Miracle's over. Headcanon makes me feel better. Anyway, I kind of assume that RTD wouldn't kill off any past companions or anyone offscreen during huge worldwide Torchwood events, but even so, it's strange to think about.
There's also the fact that Children of Earth was never mentioned on SJA, although it happened between the second and third series. I get why the kids' spinoff wouldn't refer to Torchwood events (though I saw a cap of a newspaper clipping about Bilis in Sarah Jane's attic, but that's pretty minor), but not only was CoE a huge alien event, it affected all the children in the world specifically. (Ironic, I guess, that "children" is in the title of one Whoniverse series most kids wouldn't be allowed to watch.) Though the SJA kids are too old to have been affected by it themselves, they still would've been aware of and shaken by the event, so it's a bit unfortunate that they couldn't make some kind of reference to it. Understandable, but unfortunate.
I'll wait until the end of Miracle Day to try to figure all this out, because maybe some of my questions will be answered by then, but I hope that if they aren't, someone bugs RTD about this in an interview or something.
I went shopping today and got the issue of Sci Fi Magazine with Tennant on the cover and The Sarah Jane Companion Vol. 2. Also creeped on a guy who looked at the complete Torchwood box set at HMV, but he didn't seem to notice. The only solid plan I have for tomorrow is to go get my eyebrows done, but other than that I'll probably watch Torchwood and some classic Who. Might wind up going to the movies or something. There are a number of movies out now that I want to see - Captain America, 30 Minutes or Less, Crazy Stupid Love, and especially Harry Potter. Still haven't seen that, and I keep getting shot down when I ask friends to go see it with me. It's been out for weeks now, though, so I really need to get on that.
