More telly, part two

avevale_intelligencerThe last episode of Jekyll got rid of the nasty taste of Torchwood quite well, though. Nicely carried through, and of course open-ended. (Why of course? Because we the viewers have to be kept dangling with the promise of more, even if it's never going to be fulfilled. Unless of course the ending is downbeat, depressing, and makes a total nonsense of the premise of the series, in which case, hey, closure. Yes, it's been over twenty-five years and I'm still pissed off about it.) I was chuffed that I'd spotted one of the big revelations in Jekyll quite early on, and this episode had a nice twist on a storytelling device I normally hate. (Hint: it was used in the film of The Shining, and then JMS claimed to have used it in Babylon 5.)
I'd quite like to see more of this series, since I am not of that hardy stock that says "My goodness, that was excellent. Never offer it to me again." I would take an indifferent season two of Jekyll over any kind of season of Torchwood any day. Unfortunately, the odds are all in favour of the latter, and rather against the former.
I've kept this as indefinite as I can, but spoilers may occur in comments. Click at your own risk.
