Why do you think it should have pulled him apart?  Concrete doesn't adhere particularly well to skin.  The forces exerted on the body as a whole would have depended on the position his body was at in the concrete.  If his arms were by his side, then the concrete shell could fairly easily have cracked around the outline - it would only have been a real problem if his arms and legs were outstretched.
I was about to argue the point, then I realised how silly that would have been!

There's also the fact that it would have trapped the hair inside!

Quick set concrete doesn't set properly quickly. Errr what I mean is that while it may set, the strength is low until left to cure for a bit. How did Ianto know when to do it? When the alarms went off, + a few minutes faffing. How he got the concrete block out in one undamaged part is something else though.

They only collected a couple of pieces so how many Jacks are growing in the rubble?

I hope they don't go down that road, I am very easily confused by the simplest of storylines. Multiple versions of the same character would simply be too much for me.

Why would he have a plug of concrete in his lungs?  He saw the concrete coming.  He could have held his breath, knowing that if he died he'd regenerate anyway.

I can't help thinking that it's an impressively cunning advertising campaign by On-One. ;D

A much better episode tonight  :thumbsup:

I'll forgive the scriptwriters for the line from Frobisher when he introduced himself to the 456 as [insert pompous job title here] "of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland" (sic).

They don't seem to travel well do they?

I watched the first couple of episodes of Torchwood when it was launched but it didn't do much for me. I have to say that I'm really gripped by this. I presume this is the precursor to a new series on BBC1 based on it's growing success.

No according to the RT it was originally going to be a new 13 part series like the last one but BBC1 asked them if they could do it as a 5 part week long event instead. Apparently BBC America (or whatever teh USA arm of teh BBC is called) were livid.

I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.

Will 456 demand that the children are screened for 'swine flu' before whisking them away?

Tune in folks to next exciting episode...

Why don't they just pump in a gas with the opposite make up and kill the fookers?

The HD copy is already up, but not the SD one for some reason.


Methinks that Capt Jack is going to be more than a little pissed of with the 456.  Tomorrows episode should be an interesting resolution.

I wonder if they'll ever explain what the children are wanted for, or whether it'll remain a big mystery.  It's not totally central to the plot.

It was kind of interesting to watch the COBRA discussions, you wonder what they would do if a similar scenario did actually happen!  Could they actually decide to do anything different from what they did, Torchwoods intervention aside?
