Meh. Not great, but not terrible either.

By most standards, true, but by Torchwood standards definitely one of their better episodes. We now have two consecutive episodes when they neither caused the problem nor demonstrated gross stupidity while trying to solve it.

Yeah, they acted fairly competantly throughout the whole episode for once.
Two good episodes in a row, are things looking up for Torchwood?

" Two good episodes in a row, are things looking up for Torchwood?"

ITV's Porchhood, AKA Primeval, seems to be getting steadily crapper in the 3 episodes so far of it's second series. It shocked me in it's first series for not only been better than Torchwood, but actully been quite watchable. Now it is as bad as I thought it would be during it's first series. Coincidence or conspiracy?

That would be the universal Laws of Crap at work.

Simply put, this law states that whenever something increases in quality, another thing must decrease in quality a similar amount. This helps ensure the Good/Crap forces of the universe is always kept in balance.

So next time I watch a program, and realize it's jumped the shark, I should instead think "somewhere a new, good, program is born". Quite a reassuring thought, really.

Not a bad episode, but a frozen guy that Toshiko is involved with seems like one of those things that should have been mentioned before.

That said, it was a great character driven episode, a nice change from all the sex, blood and gore.

Am looking forward to next weeks episode, if only for the line - "Aliens? In Cardiff"

Hey, it's what keeps me going when shows get worse and worse.
