**SPOILERS** Just finished watching day five. What an amazing mini-series. I've been a fan of Torchwood since the beginning but I have to say that this was the best story written for the show. To be honest, seeing some of the season finales that Russell T. Davies has written for Dr. Who, I've not been a big fan of Davies writing. He has his hits and misses; those season finales have definitely been misses. But I can say that he did a fantastic job on this story. Some state that the series could have been cut so that it didn't have five episodes, but I say that everything written was vital to the story. The only main issue I can think of was the plot device to eliminate the 456. I thought it kind of weak of how it tied with Clem, however still touching how it tied with Capt. Jack. It looks like Torchwood is at an end after this series but I think that now Capt. Jack is off planet there is so much more for that character, but you can't really call it Torchwood unless he establishes the unit on another planet. However, for Earth, I don't believe it would be a show without Capt. Jack. I love this character and I hope to God that we see more of him. If not on a Torchwood series at least on Dr. Who.
