We have a date stamp in a Torchwood episode! Children of Earth Day Two

[beccaelizabeth]

Well, nearly, day and month and year:

Wednesday September 2009

it's on a newspaper.



Now I'm sooooo tempted to take a break to go see how this fits with DW and TW established timelines.

... But I have to get dressed to go to the pub and talk Torchwood. That late already? Transcripts eat time...

That makes it September 9th. Which episode day is that?

[beccaelizabeth]

Day Two.


Not that DW 'verse days line up with RL days very often.

As a NY'er, and knowing that Jack ultimately saves New New New (x37) New York as the Face of Boe, I'm trying to decide how I feel about Ianto dying on September 11.

... ow?

If it was intentional, it's almost funny and possibly charming.

If it was accidental, someone should have checked the dates.

If anyone in fandom tries to make equivalents ("this is the fandom's 9/11 it's just like NY!") between Ianto died and what happened in my city, there's going to be a problem.

Full data is:
(sun and raincloud pic) Max 21C min 8C Wednesday September 2009 timesonline.co.uk No. 69400

And time in the background is 0310

I looked up some school term times and they don't start until 2nd September, a Wednesday, so the earliest it could be with a day of school behind them is indeed the 9th.
