In the wake of fandom's most recent discussion about warnings, I feel I should post this. I'm doing it in the very least spoilery way I possibly can for those who don't want warnings. I think that, if you watch Torchwood, and you are watching (or dl-ing) this current minseries, then you know that I'm warning for something regarding the subject. If it's something you feel you need warnings about, click on the cut tag.
In tonight's episode, one of the main characters of the miniseries kills his own children, and then his wife, and then himself.
During the episode, there is a lot of emotional horror w/r/t children and their safety.
There are some VERY ugly moments regarding what "kind" of children will be best to sacrifice.
In the climax, Jack will save all of the children of Earth except one: he will choose the child closest to him to be the one child who must die in order for the counter-attack on the 456 to succeed.
So there you go.
ETA: edited to make it even less spoilerly, but equally as clear for those needing the warning.
