Torchwood - The Blood Line

[cosmichobo]

Dragonfire

Generally I'm an easy to please WHO fan, especially classic eps... and this is pretty groovy but...

If all it takes is sending 2 psycho guards armed to the teeth to go bring back the dragonfire, why'd Kane wait 3,000 years to do it... :}

Ok, so... he was building an army of frozen zombies... But... even so... 3,000 years?!

AND - despite running a space port, Kane had never heard that his home planet had been wiped out?!
