Torchwood

[LexCorp]

Well, the Canary Wharf branch apparently still existed because the Cyberman/Dalek invasion is still in continuity.

But does Torchwood happen after that episode of DR WHO?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah. Why wouldn't it?

 

[chamber-music]

I thought it was the other way around, to be honest. Torchwood is repeatedly referred to as the frontline against alien incursion. It's been Torchwood's troops who opposed alien threats in Dr. Who since the relaunch.

We need some clarification of the Units current purpose I guess.

I think after the episode of Doctor Who because wasn't Ianto Cyber Girlfriend turned into one during the events of that episode.

im sure it has been said that there is a 'floating' scottish torchwood too. as mentioned earlier i am interested in unit, i think, by introducing them here, and mentioning them in the last few eps of dr who, they may be bringing unit to the fore in the new series. they have acknowledged them now so they must do something with them.

Indeed yes so Torchwood falls with that DR WHO episode and then comes Jack to open his own special last branch of it.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, but Jack wound up like 100 years in the past and realized Torchwood was his likeliest means of getting back in touch with the Doctor, so he was supposedly involved with Torchwood from pretty early.

Yet another episode i'm going to miss tonight.

 

[Captain_BluTac]

haha sucker, lol.

 

[Sebastos]

Thank you.

 

[Captain_BluTac]

Any time

 

[Sebastos]

Oh, ouch.

I guess I should just watch the episodes on youtube.

 

[Captain_BluTac]

If you can be bothered.

 

[Sebastos]

It's my only option till I get my cable back.

 

[Manic]

Okay, I just caught "Meat." I have some thoughts...


Wow. There really are no consequences for any of Gwen's actions, are there? Cheating on her boyfriend? Drugged him. Getting killed by Billis? Nothing a wacky time rift can't reverse. Been lying about her job for about a year? She told him, and he ended up trying to help. Getting shot? Hell, he survived that. He didn't even get retconned at the end of the episode.

Of course, I actually support Rhys not being given any retcon. Torchwood's stance on drugging every other person they interact with is ridiculous. It's not like there aren't already a ton of people who know things on Earth have gone wacky. About a third of the population were blood-controlled a few years back. London gets invaded every Christmas. Everyone on Earth was regularly interacting with "ghosts" in the streets for months on end, only for said ghosts to turn into robots. Britain's most recent Prime Minister announced an alliance with an alien species, practically confessed to not being human on TV, told his alien friends to kill the US President, and announced the ushering of the end of the world before his broadcast was quickly cut off.

But now Rhys, who was simply in denial, believes in aliens. Sure, Jack. Let's drug him. It's not like there's a Torchwood operative living with him, who can keep him in check. As much as I'm really hating Gwen, I'm glad she stood up for Rhys keeping his memories. Even if he is kind of an idiot.

How would Gwen have explained the shot-wound if they had retconned him anyway.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Doesn't the amnesia pill make the person highly impressionable for a little while, too? Gwen was giving Rhys bull**** explanations when she drugged him last season all the time.

Thanks man.

Prolonged exposure to this also makes you crazy.....

Like in season 1

I hope Rhys goes nuts and kills Gwen.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, that would be a great final few episodes for the season: another member of Torchwood dies in each episode.

I think making Gwen die only to have Rhys replace her would be fitting...you know some how make Gwen the season big bad.

 

[04nbod]

what bad would gwen do though? Throw her empathy at them?

 

[Manic]

She could turn into Gwyneth, and throw a bunch of gas-ghosts at everyone.

Shoot everyone when noone is looking
