Torchwood 2x10: From Out Of The Rain
I liked the overall feel of this, the idea of the aliens was nice and the main two were suitably creepy and interesting. Hurray for old cinemas and travelling shows and bits of Cardiff history, and I love the idea that Jack was in the circus for a while. But I felt like the premise could have packed much more punch then it actually did - even saving the kid at the end left me a little cold. Ianto's investment in the case was almost completely unexplained, and um, where was the Jack/Ianto? Don't get me wrong, I do love the way that's all very understated a lot of the time, but this was a little extreme, by which I mean non-existent, very odd considering a lot of the episode was just the two of them.
Actually, this one really had a season one feel to it - I know that's been said about a few episodes this time round, but the alien concept was much more along the lines of Ghost Machine or Small Worlds rather than the more action-y stuff we've been used to, and the lack of character development is also a fit, heh.
So, as the next three episodes are all Chris Chibnall ones, do we think that means we're moving into a finale story arch from next week? Please don't spoil me if you actually know any plot details, but I'm curious as to whether it's a double or triple parter of some kind. Also, yay Chibnall, I am looking forward to those.

I also liked Ianto being so very interested in this and I really wish we could have known why. I mean he was clearly very into this whole thing, felt very personal. I was waiting for him to say that someone in his family disappeared in that way in the past or that he had circus connects in his family somewhere back there. I am going to be writing MAJOR fanfiction off this one. Already did one!
And I agree with the Jack/Ianto being very noticbly absent except for them standing closer together than some people might. I mean, it was just them and they are in a relationship yet nothing. So little odd.
But over all I liked this episode a lot!

Ooh, I must have missed this, must needs catch up! And yeah, definitely, there was a missing piece there that could have been interesting - we're just starting to get brief mentions of Ianto's family, and I want moar.
