Once you see a show or two, try another type of show. While every show will be different than any before (thanks to the guest interaction), you ought to try out different type of skits to see which would be ideal for you. While I relish the solo character walking around for the intimate feel it brings with it, others enjoy the larger scale shows for the great gags disney acting auditions you'll find there. Regardless of what show you see, I think you'll find the entire notion of Streetmosphere highly entertaining. There are usually many shows throughout the day and it's a great way to plug up some time if you're between attractions or waiting for a show or even a dining reservation.

I think I find myself mostly with Gareth on this one. I have very fond memories of playing at Star Wars disney acting auditions (my friends and I were more the role playing and writing stories type as opposed to toy collectors ) and I was disappointed – ok, disgusted with – the new movies – I had the sense that I I must have been expecting them to grow up with me and they certainly did not. But, when those movies came out, it was the excitement of the then amazing special effects.

Have people already forgot about the X-files?? remember Mulder and his search for his sister? remember how he discovered the govt gave a bunch of children to the aliens in exchange for tech and so forth?

not exactly the same, but really damn close - close enough to be a bunch of poop this time around

and aliens using people as drugs isnt quite that original either.. (see: subgenius thoughts on the 'elder gods')

also - isnt this supposed to be sci-fi? where are the aliens? why dont we see them for more than 20 minutes in the entire 5 hour block? where are the space ships? the freaky weird stuff? where is the damn sci-fi ACTION? Children of the Earth is just a bunch of idiot govt and military types strutting around like peacocks, and a bunch of average blokes running around and pumping their fists, etc. its an apocalyptic crap-fest.. its just hokey, and really damn uninteresting for anyone whos ALREADY SEEN THE X-FILES

i could see every plot twist from 10 miles away, and its pretty retarded to hinge your whole premise on something that is patently ridiculous to overlook..

i cant believe this is the same Torchwood.. so totally, hugely LAME in every way compared to the first seasons

this shows the writer had way too much power cause the story could have been sooo much better, all the holes could have been filled and made for awesome ending and it didn't have to be a sappy one, that been said the ending made the whole thing suck!!!

I dunno. I liked it a lot, but you're correct in that it is drawn out quite a bit, and the ending is highly depressing.

Still, very much worth watching. An hour a night is not too bad to deal with, and it'll give you something to watch over the next week.

We must agree to disagree. I found it a colossal waste of good actors and an opportunity for Torchwood.

This article to exactly correct! Torchwood is one of the best science fiction series on BBC America. Check out my first and recently released novel, Long Journey to Rneadal. This exciting tale is a romantic action adventure in space and is more about the characters than the technology.

There are huge plot holes and manipulative writing, this is true. However, these are qualities of Russell T. Davies' production and will never go away. That being said, this was certainly not a waste of time. This was five hours of good science fiction television and surprisingly dark for R.T.D. As a matter of fact, this may have been his best work to date, his work on Doctor Who included. The ending and (lack of) global resolution are a bit dodgy, but almost anything made for a mass audience usually is. I highly recommend it.

Also, as you mentioned, the acting was surpurb, easily the best yet for the Torchwood crew. If there is a follow up, it will be interesting.

Um it debuts in the United States TODAY and most people aren't British or pirates.

And who said he was trying to spoil it? Your comment makes no sense. Smells like a troll.

Um, this was aired some two weeks ago, so this seems pretty pointless, you're not exactly spoiling it when everyone who wanted to watch it probably already has, since it's up on every bit torrent site I know as well as the BBC's own iPlayer

Woah. 2 posters who probably wouldn't know good sci-fi if it leaped out of their chest.

Probably one of the worst shows made. Clunky and amateuristic. Almost as bad as Canadian TV.

There are huge plot holes, manipulative writing, and the only redeemable quality is the acting. DO NOT watch this 5 hours. It is a waste of your time and the world is already depressing enough without adding to it.
