I’m almost a week behind on Who because last week I was out of commission for most of the week. I still plan to write about “Turn Left”, but probably more as a look at the character of Donna in general. But tonight I’m finally sitting down, steeling myself for misery and watching last Saturday’s UK ep.
I’m being very kind and putting a TON of spoilers behind a cut-tag.

But I didn’t realize until I saw the surviving Torchwood members together how much I grew to love that show too.
- It’s a bit maddening that the TW characters got more character development as secondary characters on another freaking show, though. I mean, Gwen’s scene on the phone with Rhys said more about their relationship than 12 freaking eps that largely dwelled on the “love triangle” aspect.
If TW doesn’t do well in its new incarnation (and I’m honestly hopi
