OK Now THAT’S the Torchwood I know and love.

This felt like Torchwood and, even though we don’t know how yet, it did advance the plot.

Yes, there were some basic problems with the story but again that’s Torchwood.

Spoilers behind the cut because I can’t really talk much more about it without talking about something that might be considered a spoiler.

I am grateful when a plan comes together.



Notice that when Oswald and Jilly are gone, the show is more interesting. Two good actors who have been given some rather carp roles that haven’t gone anywhere really.

This was Jack and Gwen having it out and I loved it.

We now have some of the reasons behind the beginnings of the Miracle.

We have a new character and calling the group behind it as the Family makes a little sense now.

I am hoping that we don’t get a whole howl about the non-PC of the episode because it played it true for the time and the beliefs.

I did like Angelo and Jack trying to make him a companion. It was nice to see it tied back to its origins in Doctor Who.

And Kudos to Eve Myles for the speech in the car about Gwen’s true feelings about Torchwood to Jack. That was just so beautifully done.

Also Poor Jack when he is down in the meat locker with the crowd. He can feel all the pain that they inflict but keeps coming back. Then the arguments between if he is a miracle or a curse. If he is an angel or a demon. Also notice that the older women were gathering his blood. The horror of it was in the mob mentality when confronted by something they don’t understand.

I think I literally whimpered out loud during the meat locker scene, when they kept coming at him over and over *cringes*.

Awesome episode, though I need to watch again tonight to catch things I missed- which I always do.
