Facebook Recap for "Torchwood: Children of Earth": Day 2
Last night Torchwood: Children of Earth (Day Two) aired on BBC America. With Jack (John Barrowman) literally blown to bits and Ianto and Gwen running for their lives, we're excited to present all the action in this second installment of our Facebook recaps for the five-part miniseries. Enjoy! (And you can check out Day One here if you missed it!) Note: Also after the break, selected screencaps from last night's episode! As always, please don't spoil the show for others by putting sensitive information in the subject lines of comments.

Another great episode
Loved Ianto, don't understand why Jack was missing from most of it since there are only 5 episodes, loved Rhys' cuteness, loved Gwen being all bad*ss, and loved the family support shown to Ianto. Can't wait for tomorrow!
On a side note: WHAT A GREAT MONEY SHOT INDEED! Now excuse me while I go change my shorts.

Loved It!!!
. . .I did go "Oh, my God!" with the "money shot", I have to say.
(Lovely bum, Johnny; should you spy this! ;-) )
Maybe I'm taking this show
It is possible...
This writer doesn't know the ending yet. Anyway, I feel like this kind of puts a much-needed cheery spin on the series.

Psssst!
You know what? I'm not 12. I
You said it yourself
You said, "Maybe I'm taking this show too seriously". I'm saying that you definitely are. Look at what you've said here; "this mini-series is about the torture and sacrifice of children". That's very Maggie Gallagher of you. If I disagree with you, does that make me pro-child torture? This isn't about real children or real torture, and to draw that equivalence is grotesque.
The fact that you've invested time and money in the show does not entitle you to anything, and that someone at AfterElton is offering up light-hearted recaps of the show does not suggest that they're not taking the show seriously, or that they don't care as much as you do. Comedy is not necessarily without pathos or sincerity, and people can tell jokes about things they care about or take seriously. You wouldn't be any less of a fan if you laughed at a joke. Your affection for the show seems very fragile, which is why I think it's an adequate response to say, 'lighten up'.
And no, I didn't know that you're not 12.
I understand
I understand how you feel :(
I GUESS THE REST OF THE COMMENT MIGHT BE CONSIDERED SPOILERS IF YOU ARE SUPER SENSITIVE TO THOSE
I thought I could enjoy recaps and reading discussions again, but it isn't working (not AEs fault, obviously), and reading RTD interviews makes me angry every time.
Day 2 was the last episode that felt a little like Torchwood to me, even before what happens later it stopped being Torchwood, it was this "political drama"/Quatermass revival that took itself so awfully seriously yet didn't bother to fix the plot holes or find a conclussion that wasn't the "SHOCKING, SERIOUS, ADULT" equivalent of the Doctor waving his sonic screwdriver.
haha
ah, this whole thing is hilarious. I especially love "were you looking for the group: Jack harkness is a nice piece of ass?"
;-)
Another great recap
how/when
Gwen and Rhys knew where to find Jack because Lois told them, gave them plans, etc. Ianto found where Jack was by using his sister laptop to track the ambulance, etc.
Gwen and Rhys got very lucky that Ianto showed up when he did and got rescued too. That's how everything works for Gwen, luck. It happens too many times for it to be fun.
Great re-cap
This format is hilarious! The ep was awesome! I like that Gwen actually DOES something in this series besides whine. Season Three is proving to be a LOT better than seasons one and two, it's literally chair gripping stuff. it's wonderful! I'm loving every minute of it.
Plus Ianto's family rocks!
People fear what they don't understand.Thats why homophobes are so scared of gay people.
OK, am I the only one
Ok, now I've been staying away from AE for the last little while to try and avoid spoilers. (Miss me???) However ran into one over on Twitter last week (and its not the one you think it is) so game over.
Am I the only one yelling at the TV at the start of the show WHAT ABOUT THE PTERODACTYL!!!
Come on, forget Jack, we know he's coming back we've still got 3 more days to go. Ah so I made the right guess about that major creepy scream from the trailers a few months back!
Like these Facebook recaps. Release some of the tension that builds up as you stay on edge for the 1 hour and 15 minutes while the show airs! Lovely word "wankers" Sorry the Doc did not last one episode. Thought he would have made a good addition to TW. Lois is good too, smart, but just no special skills. Oh and thanks for the name of Agent Johnson. Had missed that one and thought my "Uber bitch" while it fit, was a bit demeaning to women.
Love the pacing and drama of this mini series. Not having any more worries about how can they do a 5 day story arc.

"Were you looking for the group Jack Harkness is a Nice Piece of Ass?"
Priceless. Absolutely priceless. You guys should do this more often.
