Yeah, it went from "OMG they are burning people alive" to "Oh well, at least my father is still alive" very fast. I think they even acknowledged that in the final.

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something.  We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail

Technically they couldn't kill but only Kat3 them. Same difference, though.

I'm still not clear on how a Category 1 was still running the CIA.

I was really impressed by this series of Torchwood. They managed to stretch 4 episodes worth of story across 9 weeks. That's quite a feat.  Ohhhhh, I see.

Yeah. That's the one big knock I can put on this season, it was WAY too long for the story they were trying to tell. Children of the Earth worked so well because it was so condensed, there was no dicking around. 10 episodes on this left them spinning wheels in places. The pacing was all wrong. Some very good moments, though I felt they could have been much more inventive with the Miracle then saying "Shrug, it just is."

I hope there's another season but if it's 10 episodes, make 2 arcs of 5-episodes.
