Fresh Out of the Oven: “Torchwood: Children of Earth”
by Honk Mahfah on Aug.10, 2009, under Doctor Who, Television, Torchwood
Torchwood, from the moment it debuted, was heralded — or derided, depending on whose voice you were hearing — as a darker, edgier spinoff of Doctor Who. In this way, it was similar to previous genre shows like Angel (a darker, edgier spinoff of Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and Millennium (a darker, edgier show that wasn’t a direct spinoff of The X-Files but might as well have been).
Thing is, all of the original shows in those equations were plenty dark in their own right. If you know the names Donnie Pfaster or Jenny Calendar, then you know this is true … and the scariness of the monsters on Doctor Who has long been one of its major selling points.
With that in mind, I would say that not only is “Children of Earth,” the new micro-season of Torchwood, perfectly in keeping with Torchwood, it’s also perfectly in keeping with its grandpappy Doctor Who.

Twilight: Vampires

Vampires or not vampires? That is the question. In one of the biggest boons to vampire popularity in a long time, Stephenie Meyer has written four novels chronicling the relationship of Bella Swan with the vampire Edward Cullen. But with so many departures from classic vampire lore, are the members of the Cullen family really vampires?
