Recap Rewind: “Torchwood: Children of Earth “Day Five”

Yesterday on Day Four, the politicians were about to acquiesce to the 456, when Torchwood sprung a plan. Jack walked in, swung his dick around and wound up getting the man he loved killed. So much for that plan.

We open with Gwen talking into a camera. She asks a question that has haunted Torchwoodas a series–about that Doctor who appears to save the world, except sometime he doesn’t. Why do we…

Torchwood: Children of Earth “Day Four”

Yesterday, the 456 made a God like demand of a 10% tithing of Earth’s children. Jack admitted to being part of the original deal the first time they came to England.

Jack flashes back to 1965. The deal was twelve children in exchange for the cure for Indonesian Flu, a disease posed to kill twenty-five million. We are supposed to be horrified. But it’s not a bad deal. The good of the Many…

Recap Rewind “Torchwood: Children of Earth “Day 3″

Yesterday, on Day Two, preparations for the arrival of The 456 continued apace at Thames House. Gwen and Rhys made contact with Lois Habiba from Frobisher’s office, only to learn he was the one trying to have them killed.

Recap Rewind “Torchwood: Children of Earth “Day 2″

Yesterday, on Day One, The 456 seized control of children all over the world, and announced their imminent return. In a panicked attempt to keep their first visit to this planet back in 1965 quiet, the British Government blew up Jack Harkness and Torchwood.

It’s the middle of the night as Gwen is dragged away from the blown to smithereens Torchwood Hub by EMTs. At first we think the ambulance is…

Recap Rewind “Torchwood: Children of Earth “Day 1″

Welcome to my first ever Recap Rewind. This week’s series will take us back to the summer of 2009 when Torchwood‘s third season was truncated down into a five episode miniseries that aired over five days.

It is 1965, in Scotland. A bus full of young children travels through the dark. As they disembark, one child falls behind. The light overtakes everything. This is Torchwood: Children of Earth.
