Moar Torchwood thoughts.

Firstly, "have you seen a blowfish driving a sports car?" will never not be funny. I'm just saying.

I love the beginning where they're all being competent without him, go team! I know I've seen a couple of people who are surprised that Gwen took charge when she's still effectively the new girl, but it sort of makes sense to me, I think she's the best out the four of them in terms of co-ordination etc, so as long as Owen gets to shoot out of car windows I'm sure he's happy.

I liked Owen's "did he fix you line?" - perceptive Owen, now there's a surprise! Generally, everyone seems so new and improved and shiny now, it's awesome.

Captain John had so many good lines, ahahaha. Favourites at the beginning include "which artery do you normally sever?" and obviously "thirsty now", hee.

PC Andy continues to be awesome, I am hoping he might get something to do this series sometime?

Oh, the Star Wars hologram also makes me laugh a lot. :D You can tell Chris Chibnall had a heck of a lot of fun with this episode!

With regards to the Jack/Gwen hints: I've seen a lot of people reacting negatively to that, which I agree with for a number of reasons - Rhys is awesome for a start, and I think that a lot of Torchwood fans enjoy the fact that it isn't the sort of programme that has to go down the normative route of main male protagonist hooking up in an OTPish fashion with main female protagonist. However, I remain hopeful that even if they did go down at the route at some point, it wouldn't necessarily be that sort of a thing - anyway, let's be honest, this show isn't really the stuff of happily ever after, especially not with Jack. I hope that they don't take that direction, because of aforementioned Rhys, but we'll see I suppose.

This entry was originally intended to make a lot more sense, heh. But I'm pleased that the calibre of writing and characterisation seems to have been ramped up, can't wait to see how various dynamics are going to play out in the next few episodes, and would really like it to be next Wednesday already!
