TORCHWOOD is spin off of Doctor Who, a classic sci-fi show out of the U.K. Torchwood is jsut finished its second season in both the U.K. and the U.S. However, you can still catch the shows on Comcast's On Demand service in the BBC America section. I just finished watching episodes 6, 7, and 8 from the second season.
*spoilers ahead, but not too spoilerish*
These episodes deal with the death of a main character named Dr. Owen Harper. But this being a Sci-fi show Owen's death doesn't last long, well that is to say the unconscious part. Owen has to deal with being a living dead person, but not in the eat your brain zombie way.
The key question that is asked in this arc of the series is, what is beyond life? The writers of this series posed the answer to this question as, "nothing." More specifically it was darkness, with a creature resembling the Grim Reaper lurking about.
The truth is no one is sure about what awaits us after death. We learn from the bible that we will live eternally with God in Heaven or we will not be with God and be in Hell.
But what is Hell? It is safe to say that it is the eternal seperation from the loving God, not by His doing but by our choice to live separated from him in life. In Matthew 5:45 we learn that God sends the rain and the sun on both the righteous and unrighteous. So we can deduct that "No God = No Rain or Sun." So an eternal death is a death that is eternally separated from ALL of God.
So the show may not be off by too much. Death for those that chose to live separated from God may be a void of darkness with a creature waiting to torment you for all of eternity.
