Touchwood -- Okay, I've been fairly mean to this series after its lousy first episodes, but just finished Peter J. Hammonds 'Small Worlds', and can honestly say: at last, a good outing. A lot of very, very familiar ground, no question, but a much more adult take on the world, a splendidly creepy enemy, and a plot that starred children rather than seemingly being written by them - although whoever decided to both engrave and write the word 'Torchwood' on the super-sekrit Mystery Machine does need to be shot into space at the earliest opportunity. Aside from that, yes, that was finally an episode worth watching. I feel it only fair to point this out.

Quote of the Femtosecond

"You could be in a top-secret nuclear silo, staring at the countdown on a nuclear bomb about to destroy the entire universe, with a corrupt warlord's severed hand still hanging from your teeth; but forget to hide the body and your bosses would pull the plug and condemn the entire world out of sheer pique."

-- Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
