Torchwood and the (Mis)treatment of its Characters of Color

Let’s be honest; despite its decent track record with queer characters, Torchwood has a problem with how it treats its characters of colors, and I say this as a South Asian, bisexual fan of the show. 

For the purposes of this post, I will only be looking at the Torchwood television series (so spoilers for Seasons 1 and 2, Children of Earth, and Miracle Day), and not as Big Finish Torchwood releases since I do not believe myself to be well-versed enough in them to be able to make an accurate post. And also, as much as I love Big Finish for eveything they’re doing, on-screen POC representation is very different from audio POC representation. (And for the purposes of this post, I will not be addressing the mistreatment of Martha Jones, which really, if you think about it, stems from Doctor Who and not Torchwood.)

TLDR; Torchwood has neglected or mistreated its characters of color, given them little or no background, and brutally killed them off, often for shock value.

Let’s start with Suzie Costello. 

Suzie Costello, played by Indira Varma who is a British actress of Indian descent, was promoted alongside the regular cast members in publicity material before “Everything Changes�� aired, giving the impression that she would be sticking around for a while or would be a main character. Instead, she was unceremoniously killed off at the end of the first episode and only pops up once more in “They Keep Killing Suzie.” At no point was Suzie acknowledged as a woman of color or given much more background beyond her tumultuous, most likely abusive, relationship with her father.

Next, we get to Toshiko Sato, left as the only person of color on the team after Suzie’s death. 

Wonderful, gorgeous, caring Tosh who, for all intents and purposes, is essentially a walking stereotype. She’s an Asian (Japanese specifically) technology genius who is unlucky at love. Need I say more? (Check out this Teen Vogue article if you’re wondering why that’s a bad thing, or, honestly, just quickly search Google.) And all three of the Tosh-heavy episodes (”Greeks Bearing Gifts,” “To the Last Man,” and “Adam”) feature her being unlucky in love (Mary betraying her, Tommy dying, and Adam manipulating her). Plus, there’s everything with Owen where she pines after him for years only for him to finally recognize that before he dies, and then he, well, dies; that plot arc only ends in death and sadness.

Additionally, we only have limited background for Tosh in comparison to Jack and Gwen (who I guess you could kind of say are the main characters) but even in comparison to Ianto (for whom more background was revealed only because he became a more prominent character in COE.) We know she was born in London, moved to Japan as a child, and at some point moved back before growing up in the United Kingdom. She had a younger brother (mentioned in a deleted scene in “Captain Jack Harkness”) and a grandfather who worked at Bletchley Park (mentioned in “Greeks Bearing Gifts” and “Captain Jack Harkness.”) She also very much loved her family, or at least her mother, enough to commit treason for her, despite her mother only being seen in “End of Days” and “Fragments.” But that’s about it. 

There was so much more Torchwood could have done with Tosh. We could have seen more about her family or her education. We certainly could have seen more about her bisexuality; everything that happened with Mary was not a satisfying resolution. Instead, she was killed off alongside Owen in “Exit Wounds.” Torchwood used the death of a woman of color for shock value, and no matter how effective or emotional that was, it was not excusable. There was so much story left to be told with Toshiko Sato. 

Tosh’s death brought the racial diversity in Torchwood down to zilch.

Next, we have Lisa Hallett.

Now, Lisa Hallett...what do we actually know about her? She worked at Torchwood One, dated Ianto Jones, and loved him enough to maybe fight cyberprogramming for him - this part might be subjective to your own interpretation of “Cyberwoman.” We don’t know anything about her, really, apart from how she is defined and described for a white male main character, which...is problematic enough. I mean, would it have been too much to ask the writers for maybe some further description? I mean, I don’t know. Maybe where exactly she worked in Torchwood London? How she joined? How she met Ianto? If she had any family, any other friends? Why she loved Torchwood and worked there? Heck, a flashback scene featuring a non-cyberized Lisa and Ianto would have been brilliant. Is that too much to have asked of the Torchwood writers? I don’t know.

Then there’s the entire fact that Lisa was turned into a Cyberwoman. Now, I have many problems with how Doctor Who and Torchwood uses its Cybermen, especially regarding its continuous brutalization of black and brown bodies for emotional and shock value (Lisa, Danny Pink, and Bill Potts are only some examples.) It sends a very, very nasty message to these shows’ viewers of color, especially if they’re younger and more impressionable. Plus, the depiction of Lisa in “Cyberwoman” was uncomfortable and unnecessarily sexualized, but this is a whole different essay. But in the end, Lisa Hallett was pumped with bullets many, many times, and her death only added to the emotional pain of a white man.

Now, we come to more minor characters.

Beth Halloran was a human who did not know her true identity as an alien sleeper agent. She had a very interesting and action-packed story arc in “Sleeper” before ending up dead at the hands of Torchwood. She had an emotional struggle between her human identity and her truth as an alien sleeper and chose to help save the world, intentionally ending up dead at the hands of Torchwood. That being said, she was still another character of color who Torchwood had bothered fleshing out who ended up dead.

Next, there’s Dr. Rupesh Patanjali. 

Introduced in COE, he’s a medical doctor who catches Jack and Ianto working on a case and ends up piquing their interest after he makes some shit up. Spoiler alert: he’s an MI-5 plant. We see Gwen attempt to conduct orientation and recruitment with him. He has a fun setup to be a potential new Torchwood member and inside spy, but instead, he lures Jack to the hospital where Jack’s implanted with a bomb. And despite doing his job as requested and doing it rather well, Rupesh Patanjali is shot dead by Agent Johnson that very episode, just like Beth.

Then we have Lois Habiba, arguably the most interesting and fun character introduced in COE. 

She’s a naive newcomer, almost like Gwen, but during her first week working in the Home Office, she finds herself committing treason, conspiring against her boss Frobisher, and helping save the world from an alien invasion. She’s smart, resourceful, and principled, very much like Ianto. Like with a lot of the characters on this list, we know next-to-nothing about her background, which is odd considering her rather major role in COE. And despite being seemingly set up to become a member of Torchwood, we never see her again.

Finally, we come to Miracle Day and its two new characters of color, Rex Matheson and Dr. Vera Juarez. I won’t be getting into too much detail here, especially since MD has its own problems.

Ah, Rex.

Torchwood finally has a man of color for a main character who seems like he could be an interesting foil to Jack (a high-ranking CIA agent with a high bullshit meter), and what do they do...they kill him in his first scene. Oh, and they make him “lightly” homophobic, because that’s always fun. And then he ends up immortal in some kind of bullshit plot hole...I have enough to say there.

Vera, however, was quite interesting. Again, little to no background besides the basic (from San Antonio, had an ex-husband, is a surgeon), but she was still a Latina medical doctor. She had morals and was very stubborn and determined to save people, which is why she insisted into helping Torchwood sneak into the overflow camp. And what did she get for that? She ended up brutually shot in front of her lover Rex, which traumatized them both, and then literally burnt alive. Thrown on top of that? In a quite meta move really, the death of another woman of color was used to incite outrage around the country, and the world, and expose the wrongdoings of the United States government regarding the Miracle. Good stuff? Either way, it came at the cost of the death of one strong woman of color and the further trauma of another man of color.

Plus, there’s everything about how unnecessarily violent and graphic some of the deaths of these characters of color. To put it into perspective, think about how Owen or Ianto or Esther died. (I’m not trying to reduce the values of their deaths; I’m just trying to get you to think about it.)

So yeah, that’s all I have to say about that. Torchwood, you could have done better with your characters of color. (And thank you if you stuck all this way with me.)

TLDR; Torchwood has neglected or mistreated its characters of color, given them little or no background, and brutally killed them off, often for shock value.

Jack and Ianto are pressed into service for Torchwood to help care for an orphaned baby alien. A decidedly NOT adorable baby alien. Spoilers through S2, then proceeding from my retool of CoE, Shell Shock. (Basically, CoE didn’t happen, Jack and Ianto have left Torchwood formally, although they remain on the payroll as “advisers.” Various characters from CoE are actually in Torchwood. You can probably follow fine if you haven’t read “Shell Shock,” since the action is mostly around Jack and Ianto.)

Last week when I posted about my Torchwood obsession I was getting cross about HOW MANY GOD DAMN PEOPLE I fancy in that show and joked about making a top ten Torchwood hotties post but then my head actually worked out who’s on it and in what order and now I feel obliged to do it so here it is: 

1: Captain Jack Harkness

2: Ianto Jones

I had a massive meltdown trying to decide the order of the next two and in the end I GAVE UP so they’re going to have to be joint-third:

3: Detective Swanson

Also 3: Mary

5: Captain John Hart

6: Suzie

7: Lois Habiba

8: Rupesh Patanjali

These two kind of feel like cheating but I wanted to include them so....

9: Martha (who I think of more as a dw character than a Torchwood one so I wasn’t sure if I could include her or not)

10: Norton Folgate (since he’s only in the Big Finish audios I also wasn’t sure if I should include him but, Hell, it’s my list so nyyyyahhhh :P)

You see how serious my Torchwood affliction is?? I’m a big hot mess of testosterone and thirst rn

[scriptscribbles]

I was wondering if you would be willing to do a gif set of Whoniverse + South Asian characters? I was thinking 2 characters each from Doctor Who and the three spinoffs: Rita and Nasreen for Doctor Who, Rani and Gita for the Sarah Jane Adventures, Ram and Varun for Class, but the only good one I can think of for Torchwood is Suzie (Indira Varma is half Indian). I was trying to think of characters who had prominent roles in at least 1 episode rather than bit parts.

I think that’d be a great idea. I can think of only one other for Torchwood, Rupesh Patanjali from Children of Earth, the guy they attempted to recruit to the team to replace Owen. Then there’s also the ISA in Dinosaurs on a Spaceship, and the cast of Sleep No More. But I think it’s a cool gifset idea!

Timestamp #TW28: Children of Earth – Day Two

Torchwood: Children of Earth – Day Two (1 episode, s03e02, 2009)

The band is on the run and the Hub has been destroyed.

All that’s left is a giant crater in Roald Dahl Plass. As Gwen stumbles to her feet, an emergency response team pulls her away from the flames and loads her into an ambulance. This team is not your standard emergency response but rather an assassination squad. Gwen bites and shoots her way free before hijacking the ambulance.

Meanwhile, Ianto pulls himself out of the rubble and runs from a sniper as the police arrive, complete with Andy Davidson and a defense of Gwen’s character. Agent Johnson calls Frobisher and reports that the job is one-third of the way done, then takes Davidson to raid Gwen’s home. Frobisher also receives some information about a mysterious device and the 456.

Gwen stops the ambulance and interrogates one of the surviving assassins, learning that the government as ordered the destruction of Torchwood. Gwen rushes home, wakes up Rhys, and unceremoniously tries to usher him to safety. Ianto makes contact while Rhys gets dressed, and Gwen rushes away, shooting out Johnson’s tires before escaping.

Government forces also storm the Davies household in a search for Ianto, but he’s one the streets elsewhere. Gwen and Rhys end up dumping their car since the license plates are trackable.

As morning dawns, Frobisher tries to patch up relations with his family before heading to work. At Home Office, Lois Habiba does some more digging while Frobisher briefs the Prime Minister about Jack and the 456 device. The 456 have only directly contacted Britain. Lois tries to ask Frobisher if Jack can help, but she’s chided for her efforts.

Jack’s daughter tries contacting him without success. We also discover that Timothy White has survived and is on the run.

At what’s left of the Hub, recovery teams find an arm, a shoulder, and a head. They take to a warehouse in London while Ianto watches from a nearby rooftop. In the warehouse, the remaining pieces of Jack’s body start a gruesome and extreme resurrection sequence. He goes from a skeleton to a blind, screaming burn victim. Johnson reports this to Frobisher as gets ready to check on Mr. Dekker’s progress with the 456 device.

Gwen and Rhys find that their accounts have been frozen, so they take their fight to London by stowing away on a food delivery lorry. During the trip, Gwen finds the right way to tell Rhys about their pregnancy, leading to mixed emotions of joy and anxiety given their current situation.

Meanwhile, Ianto’s family receives a card in their newspaper, which is a covert request for Rhiannon to bring him supplies. Johnny runs a distraction while Rhiannon sneaks away, and when she makes contact, she’s happy to see him but upset about his condition. During this meeting, the children stop again.

In unison: “We are coming tomorrow.”

Timothy White is particularly upset about this revelation.

Ianto takes the laptop and Rhiannon’s car in his pursuit of the ambulance that took Jack. At Home Office, Gwen Cooper tries to make contact with Frobisher but ends up finding an ally in Lois. The women covertly set up a meeting, though Gwen was clearly expecting Frobisher instead of the new hire. Luckily, Lois is a much friendlier face, and she bears news of the kill order. Lois doesn’t like covering up murders.

Jack has finished his resurrection. He demands to see the man in charge but instead meets Agent Johnson before being sealed in concrete while Ianto watches from afar. Meanwhile, Gwen and Rhys use the information provided by Lois to sneak into a secure compound as funeral directors to retrieve Rupesh Patanjali’s body. This takes them into the lion’s den, and Rhys almost blows their cover when their contact, Corporal “Kodak” Camara, flirts with Gwen. Luckily, Camara’s a bit thick. He also hits the deck nicely when Gwen sucker punches him.

Unfortunately, as Gwen disables the cameras, the alarms are sounded and the couple is surrounded by Johnson’s forces just as they discover the concrete cell. They find an escape route when Ianto uses heavy machinery to rip the makeshift sarcophagus from the building. Gwen provides an explosive exit and Johnson reports her failure to Frobisher. The man is not pleased.

Ianto stops the machine at the edge of a large quarry and drops the sarcophagus over the edge. The concrete shatters and frees Jack’s body. He comes back to life once again and is reunited with his Torchwood family.

Frobisher, Spears, and the Prime Minister observe the device’s construction. It ends up being a tank of some sort. Later that night, the tank is flooded with a gas mixture that is poisonous to humans. Bridget wants to investigate the 456, but Frobisher tells her that they don’t have time. The 456 will be arriving tomorrow.

Frobisher and Spears leave as Dekker embraces the tank with an unnatural sense of welcoming anticipation.

It’s under extreme pressure where Torchwood works best, and this is no exception. Watching the team play to their strengths without the guidance of Jack Harkness behind them says a lot about how well they have adapted to their roles over the last two years. The endgame, of course, was the rescue of their team’s leader in a tense action sequence that left me cheering multiple times.

I do feel bad for Jack’s daughter, Alice, who is left wondering throughout the entire episode.

This episode brings some further Torchwood mythology to bear, including snippets of how Queen Victoria created other institutions (of which the current government is unaware) and the official stance that Torchwood Two has been disbanded (but that the current government is unsure).

Finally, we get another tease of Gwen Cooper’s linage with the funeral director sequence. Gwyneth, her ancestor from The Unquiet Dead, was the servant to an undertaker.

The team dynamic and resourcefulness make this an amazing chase episode as the mysterious threat bears down on the planet Earth. They arrive next week.

Rating: 5/5 – “Fantastic!”

Cách chống nóng độc đáo cho xe ô tô ngày nắng: Trát phân bò lên xe!

Marketing Advisor đã viết bài trên http://cuocsongso24h.com/cach-chong-nong-doc-dao-cho-xe-o-to-ngay-nang-trat-phan-bo-len-xe/

Cách chống nóng độc đáo cho xe ô tô ngày nắng: Trát phân bò lên xe!

Hình ảnh về chiếc xe đang được chia sẻ trên các phương tiện truyền thông xã hội cho thấy chiếc xe Toyota "ngập" trong phân bò để giữ mát trong thời tiết nóng, báo chí Ấn Độ đưa tin.

Hình ảnh chiếc xe trát phân bò được đăng tải trên các mạng xã hội ở Ấn Độ

"Công dụng tốt nhất của phân bò mà tôi từng thấy", một người dùng Facebook tên Rupesh Gauranga Das như vậy sau khi chia sẻ hình ảnh của chiếc xe trên mạng xã hội.

Để chống lại cái nóng 45 độ và bảo vệ xe, bà Sejal Shah đã trát phân bò lên xe. Bức ảnh được chụp ở vùng Ahmedabad, Ấn Độ.

Nhiều nơi tại Ấn Độ đang trải qua những ngày nắng nóng, nhiệt độ có thể lên hơn 40 độ C. Ở bang Odisha phía đông Ấn Độ, cách đây 2 tuần nhiều gốc cây còn bị nhổ lên và người dân lâm vào cảnh không có điện, họ phải vật lộn để đối phó với nhiệt độ tăng vọt.

Chính quyền phải tuyên truyền mọi người ở trong nhà trong khoảng thời gian từ 10h30 đến 3h chiều.

Theo Reuters, việc sử dụng phân bò làm vật liệu cách nhiệt xuất phát từ một tập quán cũ của những người dân nông thôn, thường trát phân bò lên tường và sàn nhà để làm vật liệu cách nhiệt – nó sẽ giữ cho ngôi nhà của họ ấm áp vào mùa đông và mát hơn vào mùa hè.

Bánh phân bò – phân được làm bằng cỏ khô và phơi khô dưới ánh mặt trời – cũng được sử dụng làm nhiên liệu trong các ngôi làng và người ta còn dùng nó trong xà phòng và làm phân hữu cơ. Một người ở Ấn Độ còn nói rằng họ chữa khỏi ung thư nhờ nước tiểu bò.

Thậm chí, chính quyền cũng tuyên bố những lợi ích khác của nước tiểu bò và các sản phẩm khác liên quan đến bò. Thakur là một thuật ngữ được sử dụng để mô tả năm thứ quý giá chính thu được từ bò, bao gồm sữa, bơ, sữa đông, nước tiểu và phân.

Tại Uttar Pradesh – nơi chính quyền đề xuất thành lập các trại chăn nuôi bò 1.000 công suất tại bảy quận của bang – một nhà thuốc của chính phủ đã thực hiện kế hoạch thu gom, xử lý và nước tiểu bò đóng chai như một thức uống sức khỏe.

Patanjali, công ty hàng tiêu dùng trị giá hàng tỷ đô la được điều hành bởi giáo sư yoga và người theo chủ nghĩa dân tộc Ấn Độ Baba Ramdev, bán một sản phẩm có tên Divya Godhan Ark. Nó được tạo ra bằng cách chiết xuất từ nước tiểu bò.

Công ty tuyên bố thuốc có thể chữa được nhiều loại bệnh, bao gồm bệnh chàm, tiểu đường và ung thư.

Tuy nhiên, các bác sĩ ung thư hàng đầu nói rằng không có nghiên cứu nào hỗ trợ cho những tuyên bố về việc nước tiểu bò chữa ung thư.

GWEN: The only problem is, how do we get inside? LOIS: Well, Mister Frobisher's just authorised the release of a body from Ashton Down. This is Rupesh Patanjali. GWEN: They must have thought he was one of us. LOIS: Well, the undertaker's name is Richard Rossiter, and he's got an appointment to pick him up [...] The name of the contact at the compound is a Corporal Camara. His number's on there, and he'll be expecting you. Sugar? I'm a PA. It's what I do. GWEN: When this is all over, and you want a job, come and see me.
