So far it's been pretty good. My only gripe is

The elite unit people aren't so elite (bloody useless, third world armies are probably better) A sniper that needs a red light isn't a good sign.... They look so tacky as well. Gwen can't shoot for toffee, she keeps moving the gun up after every shot. The second part highlighed this for me, she also seemed way to up her own buttocks as well. Third part was miles better, although the pauses in the communication with the 456 just annoyed the hell out of me, way too many.

Agreed on the the 456 delays. All of them added together would probably be a few mins. Also agreed on the elite unit, the sniper was terrible and letting Gwen get in their base to try save Jack shows how bad they are. Still really good so far though, can't wait for the rest and I'm liking Louis' character.

This is shaping up to be great. Hope RTD doesn't screw it all up again. He knows how to create a magnificent build-up, and bring it all crashing down

That aside, I'd gladly substitute the regular season for 3 of these mini-series in a year. Much better quality, and plot lines (one would think) would be better.

Is this really only a 5-parter? Seems like RTD is dragging it out, for a really quick ending? Good nonetheless, but it does seem like the story setting/etc. have lasted all 4 episodes, and then the last episode will contain the main part of the action?

All I can say is I hope there's a season 4!

meh not quite sure what to think of this really, patchy and drawn out. I sort of feel let down, I would have liked a quick message or whirl around the earth by the Doctor.

Ah well, it will be interesting to see what happens now after the ending, in government and a certain person link between torchwood and Who.

^ i thought so too...somehow it felt rushed at the end. Instead of 456 pauses in ep 3 they could have had more plot development. Oh well, no matter it was a still great 5 parter!

I loved how show matured over the time...well except for dumb snipers and soldiers.

It feels like they wont make another series? Since there is only Gwen left .

Well you have to ask yourself, if it's the last torchwood why put it on BBC One now? Some are saying its may be rebooted to match the new Who when Moffat takes control.

The ratings were through the roof all week for Torchwood they could bring it back but it ended in a way that signals the end and I was satisfied.

Also all week was amazing and some really intense scenes!

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
