Torchwood episode: an alien race has been putting subliminal messages in the random-seeming pattern of cubicle wall fabric, causing people to spiral into apathy and depression while also prepping them to form an army with a code word. Gwen and Tosh have to take a temp job to figure out what\u2019s going on and get their asses saved from cubicle depression by a pre-mindwipe Donna, who\u2019s looking for the Doctor. They proceed to be badasses together, Torchwood fights their way out of the building, and sneaks into the place making the fabric.<\/p>\n

Find out that the messages were only intended to make people pliant, but cubicle jobs already suck so bad that things got out of hand.<\/p>\n

Donna convinces aliens that cubicle workers are the worst of our species and a bad candidate for militia recruitment, citing all the pasty pale, flabby, maladjusted cubie-land stereotypes. Distracts them long enough for Jack & Co. to destroy all their equipment. They\u2019re kind of a halfass species (come on, mind power with cubicle walls?) So they escape in their stapler-shaped pod and never come back.<\/p>\n

Tosh rounds on Donna about the stereotypes. Donna\u2019s like, of course that was horseshit, but you think I was gonna tell THEM that brilliant people like you are slogging unappreciated every day in cubies all over the world?<\/p>\n

And then Jack finds out – AFTER they\u2019ve retconned her coffee – that she met the Doctor recently. And she falls asleep while he\u2019s frantically trying to get information out of her.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
