Torchwood - some of my Doctor Who forum posts

-
Here is a cross section of some of the comments I have posted in the Doctor Who forum relating to the final three episodes of Torchwood season two. Adrift: Enjoyed that episode- seemed to highlight to me that being the leader of Torchwood is fraught with difficult decisions. I liked the ending: not everything in life can be resolved happily. I think the episode was highlighting that sometimes there are no easy answers and being a leader in an organisation such as Torchwood is littered with tough decisions to make. I don't think the answer to what the right course of action to take on this issue is an easy one: parents need to know what happens to their children when they disappear but sometimes the knowledge of what happened could be soul destroying. Seriously I think that is a tough call to make. Interestingly, I watched an old episode of X files the night before when a serial killer suggests that he killed Mulder's sister. When they tell another victim's father what happe...

Dead or Alive!

Spoiler alert: contains comments on Dead Man walking. After the initial shock of seeing Owen die last week, I immediately expected him to be fully resurrected the following week. Okay strictly speaking this does not happen. It would appear that by the end of the episode that Owen on a half life form will be about for a while longer. In a way this raises an interesting and intriguing question: what is life? If you cannot do the things you normally take for granted, how would you react?. The teaser for the following episode appears to attempt to answer that question. However, back to Dead man walking. Jack rather predictably jeapordises the future of everyone for the sake of a friend. With some characters I would expect that to happen but somebody who has seen the consequences of time travel and the actions of others would surely resist the temptation? We see Jack in some sort of Hellfire club- I was a little disappointed with this scene- I'd like to have seen more of it and the char...

Causes and consequences by Mark Richardson. It's now Spring 2020. Reading the last paragraph made me chuckle. Still unpublished. To be expected when all I managed to write between 2004 and 2017 was one short story. Sandon High school, Meir, Stoke-on-Trent during late October 1996. Whilst Blur and Oasis battled for our minds and souls in the charts, a very different type of battle was occurring in a History classroom in the above-mentioned school: a battle whose consequences have and continue to ripple through time and space. At the time of writing this autobiographical piece, I have had experience of teaching History, English and Media studies. I have worked in a total of fifteen schools as a supply teacher, three of them as a long term cover teacher and finally as a full-time teacher of English and Media studies at Bluecoat comprehensive school. Let’s return to 1996. I had just celebrated my twenty-sixth birthday and was about to enter a new chapter of ...
