I don't know...as we wait for the rest of season 6 of NEW WHO (that's the rebooted DOCTOR WHO) we are increasingly horrified by the dystopian sci fi of TORCHWOOD. The last TORCHWOOD toyed with the idea of sacrificing the least desirable children (the ones who don't study and grow up to become looters) to alien drug addicts. This time no one can die except Captain Jack Harkness (the main character) and so the world leaders have decided to just incinerate the really sick people who should have died, Category 1s they call them. Two weeks ago we watched one of the new main characters burn up in one of these chambers, this week, we witnessed another character's almost mortal wound being reopened. Ugghh! There are only 4 more episodes and we still don't know who is behind it all...except that they want Jack. As always with TORCHWOOD, it's a bit uneven, but still better than the first season. I do hope they get back to Wales though, how I tire of southern California. Jury's out, it's all going to depend on the resolution.
