Alongside being a Darker and Edgier spinoff to Doctor Who, Torchwood also has some moments that didn’t want to stay at Wales in the first place.
Keep in mind:
- Sign your entries with your own handle. We can see it in the edit history.
- One moment per work to a troper, if multiple entries are signed to the same troper the more recent one will be cut.
- This is for fan reactions to most media (except Reality TV, News and Executive Meddling). No real life examples either - it just brings a Flame War.
- Do not use this index to complain about this index - not even as a joke.
- Specific moments only. Don't just say something like, "Everything he said," or "The whole movie."
- Do not remove an entry from the page nor create a Justifying Edit to defend a moment - it's an opinion. Caveat: A Moment may be removed if it is blatantly untrue or otherwise breaks the rules. However, if you do remove an entry, move it to discussion and explain what is wrong (blatantly untrue, multiple entries for the same work, unsigned, etc). Even if the rules were broken, people should know what they did wrong.
- No natter.
- Try and make entries actual DMoSs, not just a protracted whinge about how bad a show has become. Deconstructions of tasteless jokes don't really count.
- No ALLCAPS, no bold, and no italics unless it's the title of a work. We are not yelling the DMoSes out loud.
- Editing another person's entry should only be done for the following reasons, or ones very like them:
- Correcting grammar, spelling, format, and punctuation,
- Fixing red links and other broken links, renamed tropes, and examples of Square Peg, Round Trope.
- Moving to a more appropriate page, either because the moment was filed under the wrong type of work or because a page dedicated to the work has or was created.
- Removing inappropriate uses of ALLCAPS, bold, and italics,
- Deleting links to inappropriate websites, and
- Removing anything else that would violate website policy which Darth Wiki hasn't been given specific allowance for.
- Editing for clarity is one thing, but if you change the essence of what was entered, you are vandalizing the entry of someone else and that is just as bad as, if not worse than, removing an entry without proper justification.
- MrThorfan64: The story in Torchwood: Children of Earth about a Catholic woman who committed suicide after she realised aliens existed and left a note saying, "Science won." Are we still going upon this route that the Church hates science and they have always been at war? There are even Vatican officials who support looking for alien life and they even run a centre looking for this. At best, it's an absurd line by poor researchers; at worst, a piece of bigotry. And of course the line in Miracle Day: "I used to be a Catholic. I got better." Not at all bigotry! For more go here
. It's like that line in "The End of the World" where we hear religion is banned in the future, which rather than showing they have 
Outgrown Such Silly Superstitions creates some very Unfortunate Implications. I get religion has encouraged some very intolerant things but that doesn't give the writers a right to be just as intolerant themselves.- JadeEyes1: Children of Earth had so many poorly-written moments that it's hard to pick just one. I'm going to go with Gwen's line in Episode 3: "Sometimes the Doctor must look at this planet, and look away in shame." This is supposed to be the canon explanation for why the Doctor doesn't show up to intervene during the 456 crisis. Yes, we're supposed to believe that the same Doctor who routinely stands up for the marginalized and downtrodden — who has such a soft spot for children that that he has paused multiple times in his travels to assist a single, frightened child — would allow hundreds of children from low-income families to be sent to A Fate Worse Than Death, in order to punish the classist, morally bankrupt grown-ups running the government. (A government which, by the way, wouldn't be in power in the first place if the Doctor hadn't ousted Harriet Jones as Prime Minister and paved the way for The Master to take over.) Sure.
- Murdock129: Torchwood: Miracle Day. Torchwood is set in the Whoniverse; everything that happens in Torchwood is Canon in Doctor Who and vice versa. So we are supposed to believe that the entire human race went through this horrific stuff, at a point in time which the Doctor visits exceptionally frequently, and he never once got involved or tried to sort out the fact that no humans were dying at all; in fact, given how it is never brought up, it appears he didn't even realize it had happened. And at the same time, we're meant to believe that no alien races decided to invade in any capacity during this point, not to mention overarching situations such as the Silence being scattered around the planet during this period. Torchwood Miracle Day is an all right concept, but it simply cannot work in the canon of the Doctor Who universe, and not many things can truly say that. This is even worse than the Orgasm Monster from "Day One" in terms of Torchwood's DMOS
- LondonKdS: The moment in "Day One" where Jack, Owen and Tosh see Gwen in the clutches of an alien monster that shags humans to death and sit back to watch the lesbo action. Unambiguously establishes the depiction of the crew in the first season as a bunch of incompetent sociopaths who don't even give a crap about one another, let alone anything else.
