Retro Recap: Torchwood: “Children of Earth: Day Three”

Retro Recap: Torchwood, Episode 2.06, “Reset”

This episode of Torchwood contains one of my favorite things: MARTHA JONES! It’s actually one of the few times the viewer is reminded that the Torchwood universe is connected with the Who-verse, and what a great reminder.
