Summary: It's harder than it looks.

I originally made this in 2008, which is so incomprehensible that I crumbled into dust just typing that.

These are all the vids I have released. All of them are currently available in zipped files that you'll need to download and unzip before you can watch them.

( Vids await you below the cut )

I'm a few days behind everyone else, since my graphics card committed seppuku last week and had to be replaced. (Neverwinter Nights 2: so awesome your hardware will melt.) I'm glad I waited and watched it all back-to-back, though, because I don't think I could have stood the cliffhangers. As it was I watched it in inferior quality on the 'Tube because I couldn't wait for the files to finish *ahem*ing.

Short, non-spoilery version: amazingly good, up there with the best ever episodes of its parent series. Unless you find the subject matter too upsetting (for which I would not blame you - I found it very hard to sit through at times, and it didn't push any of my personal buttons) you should definitely watch it. That applies to fans of all TV science fiction, not just Doctor Who specifically.

( Some spoilery thoughts about Jack behind cut. )

I have not had much to say about Torchwood this year, beyond that it is approximately a MILLIONTY TIMES BETTER than Torchwood last year. Possibly the writers watched The Sarah Jane Adventures and were embarrassed into improving.

After today's episode, though, I have actual thinky thoughts. Hey, it makes a change from squeeing about giant robots, right?

( Spoilers. Not just for Torchwood but for BtVS, Babylon 5 and old X-Men comics. Also new series Battlestar Galactica in the comments! )

I've been planning to save up my Torchwood remarks until after I've seen everything, but going on past experience I don't think I could stand to sit and watch a Chris Chibnall episode after what I've just seen.

( Spoilers through episode twelve, obviously. )
