I have been living a bit of a lie, and I am ready to admit to it. As much as a sci-fi nerd I cop to being, I always had to just smile and nod along whenever the subject ofRead more…
Torchwood: Combat
It was only a matter of time before we had another weevil-centric episode. We still don’t know much more about what weevils actually are, but we know a bit more about them now in this Fight Club-ish episode, where they’reRead more…
Torchwood: Out of Time
This was one of those rather introspective episodes of Torchwood, where we really spent some time with various team members seeing a side of them you don’t see when they’re running after aliens and ghosts and the like. Basically, theRead more…
Torchwood: Random Shoes
The episode was an interesting one; rather than focusing on Torchwood itself, the main character was a fan, a hanger-on, a wannabe. But in spite of – or perhaps due to – that, we see more of that empathy thatRead more…
Torchwood: They Keep Killing Suzie

Torchwood: Citycide
This episode totally creeped me out, in the best way possible. I love a good horror film, and Citycide had all the classic elements: An unknown evil creature (or person). An injured hero (Gwen). Romantic tension (Owen & Gwen). AnRead more…
Torchwood: Small Worlds
A thought occurs to me as this episode opens: It just can’t be a good idea to take flash photos of aliens/faeries/unknown creatures at night in a woods. Just sayin’. Of course, it’s easy to say that as the viewerRead more…
Torchwood: Cyberwoman
Given the name of the episode, we knew the mortal (well, you know what I mean) enemies of the Doctor – of all mankind, in fact – the Cybermen, would be making some sort of appearance. And the Cybermen areRead more…
Torchwood: Ghost Machine
I both loved and hated the conceit behind this episode of Torchwood. What’s become typical in science fiction of late is the idea that even if we can know the future, we are almost powerless to change it. Think Lost,Read more…
