      I liked that but Andy, Gwens' former partner, taking off his official vest & joining with the people he'd sworn to protect REALLY got to me. Particularly his taking off his vest - the symbol of his job & tossing it away. The symbolism of the act was perfect, it showed who he was & where he stood. Although I doubt he was thinking of that at the time.

    This really does bring to mind what Harriet Jones Former Prime Minister said. The doctor won't always be there to defend them.

But we know how Jack saved the Earth

    Also, it's not like every single soldier in Britain is going to have kids, so an extremely large number of them would be fighting against the government no matter what.
    But on the whole, one of my favourite scenes in the series. It's because of things like this that I don't think Miracle Day will possibly be able to top Children of Earth. Despite the brutality of it, there's something kind of touching about watching all the parents charging in to fight against their own people.

      Bill DeBerger that’s a pretty great concept. Not sure how it’d factor into the narrative of a “Torchwood” series but it’d certainly be good to spark a “Civil War” type event where we have a divide on the events of what happened here in relation to the increase in alien activity. Maybe with recent Doctor Who taken into account this could be explored finally

    forgiveness of sins; and by Him everyone who believes is justified from
    all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.

      I'm not sure but it was the same in Doctor who. Must be cheaper to get replicas of that weapon?

      In the alt world of Dr Who and Torchwood, the G36 seems to be just as in use as the SA80. Army units use it more than the SA80 in Dr Who, like in Doomsday

      To be fair there’d been at two governments we didn’t get in real life, maybe Harriet Jones had this changed for example

    this would of course never happen, british soldiers have children of their own and would never stand for this, they would all be like andy; fighting for their childrens freedom

      Murcutio the army was threatened with their children being taken so they'd comply.

      Who knows? Maybe the soldiers with children are not being sent out, maybe the Army itself is infighting.
