[QUOTE]Originally posted by StationMaster: [QB] Well.... time to take a look at the last three and to end my savage beating of this limp series.... Wevils...... Finally I thought to myself, here is a good ep. Strange gang kidnapping wevils, appearing to send them out on Murder missions.... ohhhh. And finally the team do some investigating, Tosh amazing does some computer work, Owen (git) does some work too and the plot thickens. Wow... seriously, this is watchable TV. But it had to happen... just as things get good, it goes down hill rapidly. Wevil fight club.... seriously.... We go from Murder, Suspense, intreigue to boring, boring and pap.... At the end I was on the edge of my seat when Owen went in to the cage.... Shouting... Kill him, kill him. But my hopes were dashed when Jack saved him... So.... first 20 minutes 10/10. Good Last 20 minutes 0/10 - what a way to blow a story Last 3 minutes -100/10 - we did not get rid of the nob. ____________________ 1941 No idea what the ep was called.. Now, writing wise this was a good story. It revealed alot about Jack, and who he had become. And finally meeting the real Jack Harkness (?) was a rather interesting thing. The caretaker guy (forgot his name) was brilliant, well acted and seriously spooky. Overall I really enjoyed the episode and I would give it an 8 out of 10. ........... except.... The kiss between the Jacks at the end. Don't get me wrong, I am not a gay basher. In fact I believe that people are free to choose what ever lifestyle they want. So I will sum it up with this. I was chatting with a friend the other day who is gay about the ep and he actually summed up my thoughts on the matter very well. As Jack walks in to the light (rift), he looks back and that should have been it. But they took what was a touching moment and turned in to a drool fest. Much more than many people are willing to watch.... Once more, the Torchwood writers take a perfectly good episode and ruin it completely with sexual material. And I cannot help but think that this WAS 1941... All those red blooded airforce guys would probably have taken their leader out back and kicked the crap out of him.... people back then were not as open minded as they are today, as Torchwood itself proved with the Time travellers ep. But.... the story had better writing in it than the rest of the entire series..... so I will overlook it and give this an 8/10. Good. ________________________ Abba-don (Just a joke) Well, it was the series finale so they had to pull the stops out. Really it was take everything we hate about Torchwood and the characters, and then turn them against each other. It was all genuinely well written and the acting was above par for the crew. Except for Bugs Bunny, who has one facial mode - mouth shut and not smiling. If she smiles, you cannot take her seriously, and if she tries to be upset... well, I have never seen anything like that before. The nearest I can get is a 2 year old throwing a wobbly. At times I was laughing through the Reece Death scene.... Our baddie, the caretaker, was fantastic in his second show. With more acting talent in his little finger than everyone (except John Barrowman) he injected dark terror in to the episode. It was stunning. Overall, the whole story as with most of Torchwood was cobbled together and held in place with sticky tape. But for once it worked and made for an entertaining episode. Although Ketchup made an appearance with the super Soaker blood fest all over again, it could be overlooked as it was the end of the world after all. Perhaps the highlight of the episode however was the ending as the Tardis arrived and took Jack away from his group of dysfunctional morons. I think I will give the episode a 7/10. _____________________________ Looking back at the whole series, I think that it is best summed up like this. I currently own Seasons 1 and 2 of Doctor Who (new series) on DVD and we bought them when they first hit the shelf. Will I be adding Torchwood to this... no. I will not be buying then individually, and I will not be buying the box set. To be truthful, apart from the last two, I don't want to watch the series again. And with that, in my books it has been a failure. Torchwood Season 1 - 2/10 :( [/QB][/QUOTE]
