Nice one, Gina

We're a little behind on British TV over here, so I've only caught the first half of the second series of Torchwood. I want Capt. Jack Harkness to jump through a rift and save me from the weevils!

Captain Jack

I think you'll have to wait in line!

I am fairly close to Cardiff. I'm half tempted to go stand on that section of pavement and see if I descend into the inner sanctum. I promise not to touch the resurrection glove (much).
