Yesterday I mentioned that I would be spending my Saturday watching the EPIC 5-part miniseries/3rd season of Torchwood called Children of Earth. I had just started the eps when I blogged yesterday and have since finished watching all the eps. I mentioned that BBC America is airing all 5 eps all day long today from 1 to 8pm (the marathon is in full swing on the East Coast, it begins here on the West Coast in about an hour) and strongly urged all y’all to check it out:
Having watched the entire Children of Earth mini-series in full, I’m afraid I’m going to have to INSIST that y’all tune in today or pick up the DVD set when it gets released this coming Tuesday. There are some TV shows that just manage to get everything right … Torchwood: Children of Earth is one of those shows. I know there are some who are upset with some of the events that transpired in the mini-series but I found the entire thing perfect. Yes, there is tragedy but not all stories are happy endings. I’m thrilled to pass along the news that Season 4 of the series has been picked up by the BBC so that means there will be more Torchwood goodness ahead. Check it out if you can today, I think you will LOOOOOOOVE the series.
Tonight, I’m attending the Comedy Central Roast of Joan Rivers which will be hosted by Kathy Griffin. I’m pretty excited, it should be really fun … I’ll do my best to tweet from the event. I’m also excited that David returns home from his trip tonight … he’s only been gone for a few days and I miss him muchly. I hope your Sunday is going well!! Enjoy it!!
Sounds like you’ll spend the evening in a state of being dangerously close to pants-peeing at all times. Have fun! Please do tweet & twitpic it if ya can :)
WOHOO!!! New torchwood! Thanks for the good news! Although, now they’ll have to start from scratch…
I was really mad, coz my DVR didn’t record them during the week when it was showed, luckily I am getting them all today. Have been a fan of “torchwood” since season 1. A fan of John Barrowman from Doctor Who.
ya, this lil miniseries was pretty good, I cant take scary kids talking in unison though. I’m a big torchwood and Doctor Who. I wonder how the 4 season is going to be like
Yeah Trent, you should really check out the 2005-onwards series of Doctor Who, which is where Captain Jack’s character originated from. Some of the episodes are a bit whimsical (because DW caters to both kids and adults) but on the whole it shares a lot of the same themes as Torchwood and is just as awesome.
OMG, I was hoping for a 4 season, just wondering how there going to do it with a the beloveds dead and all, but I’m up for it. Torchwoods mini-series was so good, I like the fact that the didn’t shy away from what the had to do. I’m a big BBC America fan, so next series up is Being Human, did anyone check it.
