Neil Gaiman on “Torchwood”

I watch “Torchwood” but I’m not really a fan of it. It’s “ok” but nothing great. In fact many of the plot lines just don’t make sense, which is why I busted out laughing when Neil Gaiman posted this on his blog:
Why The People in Torchwood Season One Are All Too Stupid To Live — including the astonishingly puzzling incident where someone in 1941 has written something down on paper with black ink (a medium that will last legibly for centuries if kept out of the sun), and, unaccountably worried that ink on paper will fade and become unreadable in time, first she takes a prototype Polaroid photo of it, and then writes some of it in blood and puts it in a coffee can in a damp cellar, because these media will still be readable seventy years later. Why she didn’t make a model of it out of chocolate as well, I will never know.
