The New York Times Weighs in on 'Torchwood' and 'the True Awfulness of Immortality'

We frequently link to little-known blogs and websites to spread the word on Dr. Who and all things related to science fiction, comic books and the like. Today, we're going to raise the conversation a level - or several levels, depending on your point of view - and refer to The Old Gray Lady of newspaper journalism herself, the New York Times.

In the Sunday Review, the Times published an opinion piece about "Torchwood: Miracle Day" entitled "Imagining the Downside of Immortality." It was written by Stephen Cave, author of the upcoming book "Immortality: The Quest to Live Forever and How It Drives Civilization." Yeah, you could say this is a step above our usual "Where Are Superman's Pants?" posts.
