I'd guess so, but that might be behind a certain revelation made at the end of series 3 of Doctor Who. Don't want to say more for spoiler reasons.

If this is too obvious Greg, please delete it. I nearly blurted out that [CENSORED]


heh heh heh.....that's "handy" Wink I've actually seen the last episode of Torchwood...and my heart was jumping when I heard a certain sound Wink

Not such a bad episode.

It was very atmospheric and effective in places. However, there is still a few basic problems for me with this TV show.

01) I have absolutely no empathy for the regulars in this show who can be killed off.

02) The one regular I do like cannot be killed.

03) There is seldom time to develop empathy for the guest cast.

As a result of this, I find it difficult to develop a serious interest or loyalty to Torchwood. At the end of the day, it simply doesn't matter what happens.

Atmosphere: great.
Suspense: good.
Twist: not too bad.
Stereotyping of people in rural areas: Crap
Realism of humans moving so damn quickly: hmmm... they're aliens folks. Gotta be.
Small team tactics in a clearly threatening situation: the worst I've seen in ages.
Gwen & Owen at the end: Geez, just destroy all the sympathy I'd built up for those two!

You had sympathy for Owen? You must be an extraordinarily kind person!
