Decisions, Decisions.

Hmm.

I could buy all the Torchwood DVDs now¹ for, hrm, 45 Pounds plus shipping. Call it a hair over $100. Or I could wait until July for the Big Box Set. Thing is, will it be any cheaper to wait?

And before anyone asks, yes, I have a region-free DVD player. Picking up BBC DVDs that aren't distributed in the US was my primary reason for getting it. Getting stuff a few months ahead of US distribution was a secondary reason. I must admit, if I'd know that Series 2 of DW was going to hit the shelves in the US as early as last week, I might have held off buying it. Oh well. I like the UK packaging better. :)

¹ - late March, actually, but they're offering a nice price on the discs if order now.

Torchwood: General Meta Question

Alrighty kids, in twelve words or less, share with me what you think a and/or the theme of Torchwood is.

Bonus question: Feel free to mention what you think the producers intended for theme, and why they did/didn't succeed, in your humble opinion.

I'm a little bored at work today, and this one's been itching my brain. I've always maintained that a theme of the show is Working with this stuff will fuck you up - sort of an update on HP Lovecraft's There are things man was not meant to know. But it's by no means the major theme. That one, I'm still canoodling on, believe it or not.

All I ask is that you play nicely in the comments, kiddies, otherwise I'll get busy with the comment eraser of doooom.
