After the explosive action of Day Four, Day Five screeches in, albeit with less of the pulsating chill found in the episode’s predecessor.

Instead, the atmosphere of the final episode seems to hinge on tying up loose ends, and perhaps (fittingly so), lacks the unnerving tension intrinsic to the rest of the miniseries.

Warning: Spoilers ahead…

‘WOW!” That’s the only word that I can use to evoke the chilling/mind-boggling suspense of Day Four of Torchwood’s Children of Earth.

Warning: Spoilers ahead!!

After the eventful cliff-hanger of Day Three (where it was revealed that Jack had once sacrificed children to the 456) …we find out the truth behind his actions.

Last night I commented on how Day Two of Children of Earth was lacking a bit of pizzazz, and apparently viewers agreed with the audience share for the program dropping by 300,000 viewers.

But if Day Three is anything to go by, audience members will be back and eagerly anticipating the final two episodes in the miniseries.

Warning - Spoilers ahead!

After last night’s rollicking, adrenaline-fuelled cliff-hanger ending, it comes as no surprise that the second episode of Torchwood’s compressed third season, would be a bit of a let down in comparison. Without the relentless histrionic fits of frenzy, Day Two of Children of Earth decides to adopt a more subdued approach.

Warning: Spoilers ahead….

I didn’t manage to get to sleep last night, and no, it had nothing to do with the escalating economic crisis or my mounting To Do list. It was because I was sitting up eagerly anticipating the return of Torchwood here in the U.K.! You poor Yanks have to wait until July 20th when BBC America will air it.

After the harrowing emotional overload of the Season 2 finale, the show is finally back and has been upgraded to BBC One — the most accessible BBC station, and is being broadcast over five consecutive nights as an epic sci-fi feast for the senses.

Keep reading for my minicap, but be be warned there are spoilers! (And note: AfterElton.com will have more extensive coverge when the show airs in the U.S.)
