Torchwood 113 End of Days

 Watched 12-Aug

This is a grab bag of tied up loose ends from bits of eps through series 1.

There's flashbacks to teh Cyberwoman and Gwen PC offsider and Weevils and Bilis Manger to keep fans satiated.

There's some conflict (and resolution) between Torchwood crew members which always is fun... (hmm).

I'm not excited by it.

Torchwood 112 Captain Jack Harkness

 Watched 9-Aug

The plot summary reads: While investigating reports of ghostly music, Jack and Tosh find themselves stranded in a packed dance hall in 1941. As Gwen, Owen and Ianto work to rescue their colleagues, Jack and Tosh meet a handsome young American squadron leader by the name of Captain Jack Harkness.

That's fair enough (but spoiler alert) it turns gay from there.

It's fantasy. It's a tragedy. But it doesn't feel relatable (not to me anyway.)

Torchwood 110 Out of Time

 Watched 24-Jul (about)

We decided to pick the 'eyes' out of Torchwood.

That way we can avoid the worst/silliest eps (Cyberwoman, Countrycide, the fairy one) and get a better impresion.

This one has (sorry, had) a reputation as a bit better than the rest. It's basically three stories of people who fell through a time warp from 1953.

One chick bonks her way to the point she wants to get in her aeroplane and get away from Owen go back. One struggles to cope with modern manners but fights back and is left up-in-the-air about will-she/won't-she?

The third one (the older guy) has a meltdown and tops himself.

So the plot is pure midday movie soap.
