Brookline Patch Column: Tucson, Torchwood, and Twins

[mabfan]

Believe it or not, the new season of Doctor Who and the death of Elisabeth Sladen got me thinking about something that became the topic of my latest The Brookline Parent column for Brookline Patch.

Read Tucson, Torchwood, and Twins to find out how it is that being parents has affected the way Nomi and I watch television. It's not necessarily what you think.

I can totally relate. It's pretty much why I found the end of Children of Earth unforgivable, really.

I thought it was an incredible way to go out with the series, and the assumption was that this was going to be the end of Torchwood.

But now...they've effectively turned a lot of fans against Jack for his actions. I'm hoping they have figured out a way to make him a sympathetic character again for the next season of Torchwood.

I've been similarly affected more strongly lately by stories about children, whether news or fiction.
