Watched the ending last night...it just goes to prove a politican will sell anyone to keep in power and save his own skin.......
It features horrible, horrible, horrible, terrible, bad, bad bad acting. If you can get past that, the gay love story theme, the remarkably thin plot, and the BAD acting.......it might have some value as social commentary.
>Any government that acts in its own self-interest is the enemy of free people.
Not entirely true: providing for the common defense IS a universally accepted function of Government, and without Government protecting itself (from invasion) in this manner the People would be lost to some other government.

I loved the series...even though it was written by the execrable poufter Russel Davies, who insists that every story have a homo male lead, and every story must contain shots of the homo male leads kissing each other.
But, wow, I loved that story.
I thought the characters were interesting, from Frobisher to Habib to Frobisher’s secretary.
I didn’t like, and never have, the Jack Harkness character as played by John Barrowman, and I never liked Ianto, but Meg was great, as was her husband.
I liked that when she considered aborting her baby because the world was being turned over to the aliens, her husband said “NO, you would never do that would you?” And she replied “I could never do that to you,” and they kept referring to her unborn baby as a child, not a fetus or other pre-born murder friendly language.
I totally believe our craven governments would turn over 10% of the world’s children to alien junkies if it saved their lives. I believe America allows similar things to happen that they know hurts innocent people, like deliberately allowing aliens who have committed crimes to stay here, rather than deporting them.
I wish Sifee (STUPID name change) would feature shows like COE more often, rather than the monster-driven dreck they’ve done in the past.
I loved The Lost Room, though...but that was ages ago.

I though the acting and the show were good. Too bad. Showing homsexual men kissing is perverted and evil. To watch it as “entertainment” is also evil.
Boy did they ever explore that theme, they completely showed the hypocrisy of government and I kinda felt sad for Forbisher at the end, well sorta.
I tried to watch but the show is waaaay too gay for me.
I have the first season, or whatever they call it over there— series— haven’t gotten around to watching it because the first two episodes sucked so bad.
