children of earth was already nothing like the sometimes silly, but always funny previous 2 seasons.
it came off more like a copy of spooks, not something from the whoverse.
torchwood died when they killed off 3 of their main characters within 5 episodes, he should just let it
rest.
i guess he felt that he was leaving things unfinished with cast members actually still alive - he
has to get more torchwood up so he can kill gwen and rhys!
