I loved the Abbey Road shot.

Finally back from vacation so I could watch the final one... WOW; my favorite so far. I liked the darker view much better as Doctor Who sometimes (well more like most of the time) ends up with the happy ending in the last couple seasons (the planet of the ood really creeped me out for a few days...) I was kind of wondering if the grandson would end up surviving since obvious Jack is "immortal" but they didn't do it which also impressed me.

So if Jack comes back... who's really left? Gweyn I'm wondering if she'll retire since she's got the baby (if she has it.) I'm also curious if it would be the admin and the military woman?

BTW I did have one thought... 456 seemed pretty advanced. Had they never heard of cloning?

Tonight is Day One of Torchwood: Children of Earth.

Hopefully dish (and others) has BBCA-HD on tonight. I got a copy of BBC's broadcast, but would rather see it in HD. Hopefully BBC America doesn't hack it up.

I found HD copies the day after they aired.

Not only that, but the 1080i (I'm assuming it was 1080i) reencoded to 720p still looks better than 99% of both the 1080i and 720p on Dish! That's very, very sad.

Well, I've read this via a Torchwood mailing list:

"I've got Comcast in the Philly area and, as of this afternoon, BBCA is in HD. The bummer is that there is now no non-HD BBCA channel so I can't get BBCA on the regular digital cable box upstairs."

**Jim S.** · 07-20-2009 09:44 PM

Comcast is brain-dead and that's supposed to be news?

Unfortunately BBCA-HD was not on Dish yesterday.

So I wound up watching a copy I got from BBC. Nice not to have commercials to skip through, but would have rathered HD.

Episode was pretty good last night.
