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
It was only a matter of time before the Glove of Resurrection made its way back into the Torchwood storyline, and it makes perfect sense that it was with the resurrection of Suzie. I’m glad we got to see moreRead 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…
Torchwood: Day One
Really? Gwen’s first day on the job is a hunt for a sex-crazed alien who absorbs its partner just at the moment of climax? How many times, exactly, did they have to show the scene where Carys had sex withRead more…
Torchwood: Everything changes
The first-ever episode of the Doctor Who spinoff Torchwood has all the obligatory, here’s who everyone is, here’s what they do, here’s the new team member exposition. That’s OK, though. It also gave us a pretty good story to follow.Read more…
