Torchwood again: last night's episode (2.3)

[avevale_intelligencer]

First reaction: instant pathos, just heat and serve. Have these people got no self-control? Aren't any of them remotely monogamous? (Apart from Rhys, and I'm sure when he has his episode next week he'll be overcome by love or lust at least twice.) The story would have worked just as well, and Tommy been just as tragic, without the pseudo-romance. We're still just a bit behind the bike sheds, where discussion of "adult themes" is not only possible but compulsory.

With that out of the way, it didn't seem quite that bad to me.

I can has Freema nau plz? I haven't seen this week's yet, it should be on the torrents this evening, but I'm not bothered by spoilers[1], I'm only waiting for the Freema episodes (I fell for her in the first episode of S3 DW). I just don't like any of the Torchwood characters as people. I expect I'll do the same with DW S4, except that I may not watch any of the other episodes with that Tate woman (I didn't care for her in the DW special, and actively dislike her show now I've seen it).

[1] Not that your post really contains any spoilers -- there's sex, and someone called Tommy who is tragic. Probably less than the Radio Times says about it (they probably leave out the sex part).
