New Who Review: For the Last Two Episodes of Torchwood

I will be starting the Doctor Who portion of my NWR tomorrow and catching up over the next couple of days. Tuesday will be Crafty Tuesday.

Again Spoilers under the cut and in the comments.

Yes, it had its problems but in the end I was entertained and that’s all you can really ask of a TV show.

Pacing was a problem. Peter and I sorted out that it could have been done 6 episodes if they tossed out the filler and the sloppy intro to Torchwood. 4 if they really wanted to condense it.

Yes, they did have to introduce the new audience to Torchwood, but did they really do that? We can’t tell since we have been watching since the beginning. They had elements and talked about the past but not really what Torchwood was.

Acting was solid over all. I don’t have any complaints about the casting.

My biggest complaints were dropped threads and shifting villains. More on that after the cut.

Would I watch another series of Torchwood? Yeah, I still love Gwen and Jack and their interaction.

I am grateful this series got made even with my reservations about it.
