ZOMG Torchwood was actually good!

That all sounds very...Torchwood.
 
It's basically typical Russel T. Davies, which is "copying Joss Whedon but making it shit".

"Let's kill off a character suddently in the middle of a season (LIKE JOSS WHEDON!!!)."

"But oh wait no he's not actually dead properly or anything I mean he's still walking around and stuff so any drama or sense of loss that killing the character would have had is gone and basically it means that all of our characters our safe because if they do die they can still star in the show!! (making it shit)."
 
How long before a trio of Doctor Who fanboys become the new Torchwood villains!?
 
Pfft. And on the Torchwood unclassified or whatever it's called RTD was going on about how sad it is to lose a member of the cast but it's for the good of the show.. god I can't stand that guy.

Good episode though. Martha was totally hot, although I get the feeling Freema Agyemon isn't acting so much as being herself and reading lines. I suppose I'm okay with that, though. She was like it in Who as well and she's got a nice personality, so it's all right. Great to see Alan Dale too.
 
Trying to acto seems to be where Barrowman, Gwen and Tori are going wrong.
 
Stop being mean about Tosh. She's cute and that's final!

You can bitch about the others all you like, though. Throw in Ianto there as well.
 
If you have to throw Ianto somewhere cant it be a deep pit with spikes at the bottom.


Actually hes not that bad this year.
 
He's better, but he's still pretty useless. I would have preferred he die instead of Owen, who actually had some interesting character development.
 
Ianto is better because they haven't given him any "crying over his cyberwoman girlfriend" moments. He wasn't even all that unconvincing as a serial killer...hmm...
 
I guess tonight's (BBC2 one) counts as "good"...it was all a bit random really. The little girl at the start? Just a rip-off of the girl from the White Room on Angel? Even my mum said "that's the Monster from Lost" at the smokey skeleton. Didn't seem much point of having Martha in it (and the old age make-up was BAD) other than for her to completely out-act Martha (by actually REACTING to what was happening.) Owen as an animated corpse is quite interesting though...who wants to bet he's back to a normal human by the end of next week's episode?
 
I really didn't like it, if only because in the Declassified last week RTD harped on for five minutes about how it's important for characters to die and than in this episode he takes a huge sticking shit over it all by OH LOOK OWENS ALIVE AGAIN.
 
But he can't have sex, so he may as well be dead!
 
I half expected him to start singing "Going through the motions" or something, but other than that it was pretty good. Whenever these episodes seem bad you just have to remember the first series and suddenly they look amazing.

I agree about the RTD thing though. I didn't watch Declassified today because I knew I'd sit there getting angry at everything he said.
 
BBC3 spoilers

That one wasn't... bad....

I mean apart from Nurse "Oh I know someone who can answer all your questions to progess the plot! WHAT LUCK!!!", it was pretty good. I like how the old footage actually looked like old footage, and I really liked how most of the people died, because I was really expecting them to pussy out and have them all be okay in the end.
 
Yeah, genuinely creepy, was that the PJ Hammond episode?
 
I didn't see much point in Jack being in the circus footage. It didn't really effect the plot. I was kind of expecting another Jack to come walking out of the screen in the theatre at the end.

What was stupid was when the girl died at the bus stop IN HOPE STREET, then the waitress died IN HOPE STREET, then the family of four IN HOPE STREET. You'd think it would have geen a good idea for the Torchwood team to hang around in HOPE STREET but instead they were all sitting back in the Hub trying to work out what was going on.

NOT BAD THOUGH I SUPPOSE.
 
I completely forgot it was on. :|

I'll download the BBC3 one I guess.
 
Or wait till it's on BBC2. :)

Not bad this week. Naturally, it had the plot holes mentioned above, but it was kinda creepy and no one had any pointless gay sex. Since the guy's parents died I would've expected them to show the Torchwood gang telling him, but I suppose they didn't have time for that.
 
and the one little boy they saved was left without a family too. BUT HEY, AT LEAST WE SAVED ONE!
 
The BBC3 one is on tommorow night anyway, they are speeding through the last episodes so it will be finished before Doctor Who starts up again
