Torchwood has always billed itself as the adult alternative to Doctor Who, which has traditionally been viewed as a children’s program despite its vast adult following. With “Children of Earth,” the show finally earned that billing. Casting aside the cheesiness and sloppy writing that plagued much of the first two seasons, Torchwood proved a show doesn’t need scantily-clad women, gratuitous sex, or morally bankrupt characters (yes, I’m looking at you, Battlestar Galactica) to be perceived as an adult show.

Or the second half of season three to be specific. Confused yet?

When I read Television Without Pity’s “recaplet” of this week’s episode, I wondered if it was written by the fabulous Raelle Tucker. It was!
Sadly, though, we do not see Bill’s beat-down at the Hamby household. Perhaps because it wasn’t a beat-down. Instead, he glamoured everyone. Lame!
