Torchwood Season Three

Just finished watching seasons 1 and 2, I really enjoyed them.

I'm confused about season 3. Is Children of Earth a Special or is it the whole season? Didn't it say it was a 5 night event, something like that?

Yes Season 3 is a running back to back for five nights.. and yes that will be the entire season.

Wow, that really gives me mixed emotions. I love the back to back thing, but only 5 episodes? As if 13 weren't short enough already. Quality over quantity I suppose.

I just find Mickey annoying, I've decided.

It would have been an interesting cross-over but if it doesn't happen I won't lose sleep.

Me too. Me either.

It "eventually" shows up on my cable over here (which I pay for). I'm just getting an 'advanced press screening' this way. ;)

It's on the DVR but I won't be watching it tonight.
