The worst wasn't that the 456 wished 10 percent of the children, the worst is that the humans decided to give them the children. I really agree with Gwen's speech about the Doctor in Day Four.
@@itsinviscitellal it was where Gwen wondered why the Doctor didn't appear at times like the events in COE, but she thought that it was because he must look at the way the government handled the situation and look away in shame
You and your neighbors have 10 kids. If you do not give up one of the kids, you, your wife, your neighbors and their wives, and all 10 kids will die. Everyone will die, or one child will suffer. It's an impossible choice. Jack sacrificed one child, his own grandson, to save that 10%. He made an impossible choice that saved tens, maybe hundreds of thousands of lives. He sure doesn't feel like the hero for that, but those tens/hundreds of thousands get to live their lives.
I'm sorry but episode 4 deserved more rep, in my opinion its the best episode and the scene where they're discussing which kids to give to the 456 is chilling and perfectly written
To this day the most coldest part was when they were discussing which children should be served up. It was good writing. kept me so wound up after the lasty episode I had a headache for a few days. Brilliant bit of TV.
I agree it was amazing. That scene was the scariest thing in the Doctor Who universe, especially knowing that I would be in the demographics that the government describes as undesirable, even though I've gone onto a university education and certainly hope to have a positive impact on society.
In the last clip, I don't think she was crying because jack left. I think it was because she lost everyone in torchwood and she's the only one left and I think that jack was what tipped her over the edge. She may have been telling him he cannot run away because she was trying all she could to make him stay
Can't ever go wrong with Captain Jack in the mix no matter what anyone says. Give him a break. He is still handsome bi gay or straight whooo cares❤❤❤😊😊.
There was a lot about the Torchwood series I didn't care for, but THIS, the Childern of Earth series is a absolute gem of the science fiction genre. This is what science fiction does best, exploring society, government and the impact of science/discovery. After you watch it there are so many things to ponder and chew over. Really well done.
The most masterful part of this series was the use of music. The moments of quiet, or only using one or two notes/instruments... It made things so poignant... The calm made you so hyper-focused on what was going on, and it was just masterful...
I’m surprised the scene where the 456 reveals WHY they want the children isn’t included. In fact, I can’t find that clip anywhere on UA-cam. The 456 simply responding with “The Hit” sent shivers down my spine as I finally put the pieces together.
Not to sound critical, but in those days of being in your own mind, did you ever wonder where the premise for this story came from, or where it lead to? Just testing the waters.
Nivada Stars You raise a good point and I do remember it bothering me on my first viewing. However I enjoyed the rest of it so much that I’m willing to suspend my disbelief.
The best character of this season, not counting Jack, Gwen, Ianto or Rhys, was that female Captain. I ain't saying that she's a good person(cause she's not) but the character was very well mounted. The actress who portrayed her was brilliant!
This series of Torchwood was so good, and so hard to watch. I saw days 2-4 while on a trip in England. My flight left the morning of Day 5, and I was up in a hotel room outside Heathrow bawling my eyes out and shaking. Then I had to wait two weeks until it aired in the US to see how it started and how it ended. I didn't think it could be more heartbreaking than Day 4. I was very, very wrong, and I'm glad I wasn't watching Day 5 alone. This "best moments" is the first time I've seen any of CoE since it aired, even though I bought the DVD the day it came out. I can't. It's easily the best television I've ever seen, and I still can't rewatch it more than just clips. I will say, having Jack back in Doctor Who proper has been cathartic after this and Miracle Day. But I want to see Gwen and Rhys and their daughter and Andy, too.
@@liliks14 that’s not the coming out moment though. Everyone knows Ianto loves jack but I meant that they should have uploaded the scene where he comes out to his sister. Not for context or explanation just simply because it was a nice scene
@@obiwankenobi687 i need to rewatch this season coz i don't even remember that coming out scene myself .tome they are one of the few gay couple on screen that don't seem force . they are endearing
It is unbelievable the feelings I still feel when I see these scenes, it not only reminds me when I was a teenager, also reminds me how good this series was. I don’t recall seen a flawless written season like this, also the music is so powerful and makes you really feel the moments. I not only miss so much Captain Jack (who I was in love 😍) but also all the Torchwood crew!
"I just can't stand it dad, I look older than you do and it's never going to stop, I get older and you stay the same" Hahaha, tell that to the face of boe
7:00 when I first watched it I actually thought to myself that ianto wasn’t gonna make it out as it looked like he wasn’t near enough to the top of the lift before the bomb exploded
I haven't seen children of Earth since it first aired. I own the Torchwood box set, and still never watched it. I found it too distressing. And yet, watching this I realise how well it is done. RTD is a genius! I forgot Peter Capaldi was in it. He was good!
This was one of the most devastating, horrifying, and brilliant episodes. I loved the series but Children of Earth made me a die-hard FAN. Just love it to bits! Wish it were still around.
If I remember right the reason why the 12yh doctor is Peter Capaldi in universe is because he remembered the character of that Roman person from his subconscious who happens to be the ancestor of Frobisher. It’s quite unique how they don’t explain it full on but it’s hinted at later.
@@inoox Not just himself, and that's part of why I still can't rewatch all this time later. It's an amazing moment that he acts the heck out of, but the triple-whammy of Ianto, then Frobisher's final act, and then Stephen all so close together.... This is the MOST brilliant television I've ever seen, I've seen it all the way through twice, and I probably won't watch it all the way through again. The clips here make me remember why.
To be perfectly honest Children of earth is a fantastic story for Torchwood and in the Doctor who universe, but I feel like they could do more with it like bring the doctor in for one episode cos it was a whole wide world sort off thing and I'm surprised the doctor didn't even know about it..... Or did he?? Anyway why did I like it.... it was dark as hell, like they basically blown up the Torchwood hun that we loved for 2 seasons of Torchwood and blown up Jack and seeing him still alive that was gut wenching. They included Reese more witch is cool. Just the concept of the story is cool, and most of all Inanto's death it was really sad cos he was a fantastic character but they handled it so well so that's what I think about Children Of Earth.
The reason he’s not here was because This was set during his trip before he regenerated into 11 And the doctor doesn’t LIVE on earth he leaves for long stretches And from the episodes titled as days this took place during a week of 5 days
if the doctor where present there wouldn’t even be a bloody day 5 it would be over before you know it Or at least he could have found teh solution quicker
The fact tht these ppl decided to surrender all those children to the same fate as the others was absolutely terrorfying. No doubt there logic was to sacrifice the few to save the many. It may be logical to them but it was so inhumane. The very definition of not human in terms of their actions.
I like to think that Rhys and Rory are very similar. they understand that their wives love them and want to be with them, but also that Gwen and Amy will always love the fantastical, beautiful, time travelling man that completely changed their lives.
Nah man, don't do Gwen Cooper dirty like that by comparing her to Amy Pond. Gwen actually felt really bad about how she treated Rhys, and as far as I'm aware, she also didn't try to rape anyone.
My problem with the first 2 seasons is inconsistent characterisation. In one episode Gwen and Jack could be head over heels in love and then in the next its all about Jack and Owen. Then Gwen and Owen. Then Ianto and Jack. My biggest problem with characterisation in the first to seasons was with Ianto. They never really knew what to do with him until Children of Earth. He was great in Countrycide but most of the rest of the time he is either just the quiet tea boy or comic relief. This season really gave him some depth all the way through. I did like Owen and Tosh’s arcs at the end of season 2 though. They actually started to focus more on character there, even if it did feel like they were repeating the same points from episode to episode with Owen’s depression.
If the 456 ever return, I don't see the Doctor putting up with all this, especially if they're all just like the one in the series. He'll just go to war with those alien junkies and externinate them like they deserve
Ianto: so one day you’ll see me die of old age Me: fuuuuuuuuck There’s something very primal about gwens face when she’s running with the kids away from the soldiers, the same with jacks daughter trying to get to Steven after he’s been grabbed. It’s a motherly instinct to protect the young. Where was the doctor?? He says he cares about earth and that he’ll always be around to protect it but he didn’t when this happened
This was set between the End of Time and Eleven, while Ten is on his last lap. He only returns to the present as Eleven, a year after this happened. Either way, it only takes place over 5 days, and the Doctor never returns to these time periods. Could've slipped under his radar, especially as he's grieving himself at this point.
I get Alice's point about Jack but she's literally blaming him for being made immortal against his will. Jack didn't choose that life but what was he meant to do, live a life of solitude for eternity? Would she really have been happier if he was miserable?
Me too. Though Children Of Earth was the first Torchwood series I watched, I honestly didn't like that they killed off Ianto. My favourite Torchwood episodes are Cyberwoman and End Of Days. My least favourite episodes are Exit Wounds and Day Four.
A reddit user said this, but not much info was used, how would the doctor have handled children of Earth and how would different incarnations have done it.
No body talks about the blooper in the show where the black guy is talking to the camera and you can see the crew in the back chatting when he's suppose to be alone lol.... I said it at the time thinking others would say something but nobody has
I was surprised Torchwood went from this amazing quality to season 4. In all for those who enjoyed season 4 but the contrast was amazingly different! I loved season 1, season 2 was enjoyable. Season 3 MIND BLOWING, season 4… what was that??? Lol😂
Jack would have brought Owen and Tosh with him instead of Ianto. Would have needed Tosh's tech knowledge and Owen's medical background in the likely event it kicked off. Tosh would have died instead but Owen's technically already dead so he probably wouldn't be the same after Tosh dying. Can see Owen full of rage and being irreparably damaged while fighting off the solders. His body can't heal, after all. He'd probably just be desperate to feel anything. Maybe he'd be so badly damaged that he'd be forced onto Flat Holm Island from Adrift. Maybe Ianto wouldn't have been able to look at Jack in the same way after his grandson. Or be killed defending his niece and nephew.
The doctor yelling at a child to stop it will never get old. (before any nerds come yelling at me saying it's not him as the doctor. I know. It's a joke. remember those.)
Did I just see Peter Calpadi?!😱 16:15 Now that I think about it, where is the Doctor at this point? This was in 2009, so he is either busy with the Planet of the Dead, or is on Mars trying to stop some water zombies.
@Quinn Thomas According to the wiki page for "the blessing" there was a tiny explanation for that in one episode. "Jack speculated that the Blessing was something spoken of in a Silurian mythology he had heard of from the Doctor, and could have been caused by an interaction with the huon particles of the Racnoss hibernation field, but was forced to admit he had no idea what had created it" It's not much better, but it's something. It was really odd how it never had much of an explanation though, since it was such a massive object that was also directly tied to the human race
@@kaiishere016 I think as science fiction fans we get obsessed with explanations and sometimes explanations can come at a cost to storytelling. I was fine accepting that The Blessing was something unknowable to humans
Jack had two minutes till he blew up why didn't he not go up the elevator and run into the Welsh osian and blew up there and uanto and Gwen do something about the hub where it appeared to have blown up this is the question that keeps on bothering me
Got give credit where it's due. The BBC and anything sci-fi don't mix well, given the budget they managed make an armed vehicle chase involving a forklift into something exciting 🤣😇

Nothing else will ever be able to top this mini series. Torchwood Children Of Earth is one of the best pieces of Doctor Who content.

How does everyone think COE would have gone if it had the full old team in it? Like all 5 of them?
I don't think anyone would have died. Together, as the team they're meant to be, it would have been dealt with in one day instead of five
Jack would have brought Owen and Tosh with him instead of Ianto. Would have needed Tosh's tech knowledge and Owen's medical background in the likely event it kicked off.
Tosh would have died instead but Owen's technically already dead so he probably wouldn't be the same after Tosh dying.
Can see Owen full of rage and being irreparably damaged while fighting off the solders. His body can't heal, after all. He'd probably just be desperate to feel anything. Maybe he'd be so badly damaged that he'd be forced onto Flat Holm Island from Adrift.
Maybe Ianto wouldn't have been able to look at Jack in the same way after his grandson. Or be killed defending his niece and nephew.
TORCHWOOD UA-cam CHANNEL WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO US
Jack's curse of immortality :(((
Man... still can't watch after 18:00
Bro...
One of the biggest reasons the series can't come back .. it wouldnt be the same without the original cast..
Is Ianto's shrine still in Cardiff?
Yea
@@CyberDoctor-tc8tc amazing! I love nerds!
Just Google it!
yes
9:26 here he comes in a ruddy great tractor 😂
Ianto 😢😭
Wait a minute.. they gettin high off kids?! Ah hell no!
The doctor yelling at a child to stop it will never get old. (before any nerds come yelling at me saying it's not him as the doctor. I know. It's a joke. remember those.)
This is so depressing 😭
Did I just see Peter Calpadi?!😱 16:15
Now that I think about it, where is the Doctor at this point? This was in 2009, so he is either busy with the Planet of the Dead, or is on Mars trying to stop some water zombies.
People, what do you think about the "Miracle Day" arc?
@Quinn Thomas According to the wiki page for "the blessing" there was a tiny explanation for that in one episode. "Jack speculated that the Blessing was something spoken of in a Silurian mythology he had heard of from the Doctor, and could have been caused by an interaction with the huon particles of the Racnoss hibernation field, but was forced to admit he had no idea what had created it"
It's not much better, but it's something. It was really odd how it never had much of an explanation though, since it was such a massive object that was also directly tied to the human race
@Quinn Thomas Oh yeah, I wasn't disputing that at all. There were some cool ideas but it was done really badly
It wasn’t too bad, but far too long. If it was 5 parts it’d be way better.
@@kaiishere016 I think as science fiction fans we get obsessed with explanations and sometimes explanations can come at a cost to storytelling. I was fine accepting that The Blessing was something unknowable to humans
@@timelordrock2954 I believe they might have been intimidated by how well-regarded COE was that they tried to go bigger and it ended up Backfiring!🤷
Well that was painful to watch
Your profile picture says it all
how the hell did they salvage the vortex manipulator from the wreckage of torchwood base if it was ON JACK'S WRIST when he blew up???
Wait, just a doubt: Jack's daugther, is she immortal too?
it's not a bloodline thing; he was specifically brought back to life forever by Rose.
Jack had two minutes till he blew up why didn't he not go up the elevator and run into the Welsh osian and blew up there and uanto and Gwen do something about the hub where it appeared to have blown up this is the question that keeps on bothering me
The blast radius was 1 mile, it would’ve caused a tidal wave - you also couldn’t know if anyone was working on boats etc
Peter capaldie is in here
Children of the Damned. The Chrysalids.
Weird choice of moments. I wold've chosen way differently.
Got give credit where it's due. The BBC and anything sci-fi don't mix well, given the budget they managed make an armed vehicle chase involving a forklift into something exciting 🤣😇
