Things I learned watching Torchwood
-
All this talk today about the Big Bang experiment at CERN, Higgs, black holes and parallel universes opening up made me think. It made me think about Torchwood. Well not only about Torchwood – give me a break, I might be blond but I do realize there are HUGE implications to this particular experiment.
However if lets say parallel dimensions and universes were to open up, Jack Harkness would need more people on his team, right? So before we start asking where should we apply in case things start coming out of the rift, lets check off things we learned watching Torchwood.
- In case you have missed that part – Torchwood is outside of government, beyond the police
- Rift gives and rift takes away – meaning stuff can come out of the rift and stuff can be taken by the rift
- If you are taken by the rift you will end up a) mad b) old and c) on a deserted island near Cardiff (well if you do not count the other mad, old people)
- If in the hub, do not fiddle with the rift, all sorts of nasty shit will happen.
- Torchwood is even worse then House – everybody shags everybody!
- If I have learned one thing then it is Jack Harkness always, ALWAYS saves the day/planet/any given team member. That quality comes in quite handy since the world is threatened in every single episode
- Weevils are nasty little buggers. If ever faced with a Weevil you have 2 options – either use a mace type of thingy to make them lose consciousness or there is a whistle type of thingy that makes them go back to the holes they crawled from.
- I am not certain regular mace will work on a Weevil so if faced with a Weevil just get the hell out of there if you do not fancy being slashed to bits
- Third option that makes the Weevils retreat is if you are un-dead. But I would not recommend going down that route (unless Jack Harkness is nearby and you are sure he can bring you back from the dead).
- In case you have been unfortunate enough to cross over to the other side and you are now one of the undead make sure to steer clear from any fights/alien encounters/ exploding buildings. What you break will stay broken. Having said that I’d be screwed, I bruise easily.
- Have an excess of living people that might botch up your space/time continuum? Just store them in the refrigerator (just make sure to keep them away from the fruits and vegs, it is not really hygienic)
- How to tell there is a shape shifter around? Watch out for a tell tale sign of black blood. Having said that if the black blood is your own, well you are screwed.
- Even with blow dried hair and too much hair gel John Barrowman is still damn hot. Not to mention one cheeky bugger.
