psubratSo...last night's Torcwhood initial thoughts:
I loved it!! We have DW!Jack instead of S1TW!Jack. I'm very pleased by that because I have always loved the character. He was funny, and witty, and just so very cute. Last season we had a very angsty, dark Jack and while I found him intriguing, I missed the fun.
The opening scene with the "blow fish" alien, was priceless. What an interesting choice of bad guy for our first episode of the season. Man, he had the team pegged, didn't he? Are we, therefore, to assume that all of the aliens coming through are aware of Jack's disappearance? Other than the year that didn't exist, exactly how long do you think Jack was out and about with Ten and Martha? And where was the team during that year that didn't exist?
Wow, what was that with Jack and Gwen?? Are we to believe that Jack has a thing for her? I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but the only time we got a hint of that was when he was showing her how to shoot the gun. Other than that scene, I don't remember any other interaction between the two that would constitute feelings on his part -- especially since he snogged Ianto good and proper in front of everyone last season. So, yeah, what's with the Jack/Gwen thing? Not that I'm complaining. I would just like to know where it came from. Also, he asked Ianto out on a date while they were searching that office. Loved Ianto's reaction to that -- he was too focused on finding the cannister to get really worked up about it. It was just like, 'yeah, whatever, sure'. Loved it. Now, did Jack do that because Gwen was unavailable or because he really, truly cares about Ianto?
I liked the banter between Jack and Captain John. But, at the end, when John said he found Grey and we see a child's hand slipping away from an adult hand...are we being led to believe that perhaps Jack has a child? It wouldn't be surprising since those 51st Century guys are very promiscuous. Could that be part of the two years that are missing from Jack's memory? I'm hoping that we find out more about Jack's past this season. He's a fascinating guy.
Is it me, or is Owen hotter this season? Last season I thought he was a bit on the creepy side, but perhaps that was just the lighting. This year, however, HOT! Loved the feeling out of Tosh to see if she was interested in him and her being absolutely clueless about it. I thought it was cute, and funny. Though, I think I'd rather see him with Gwen.
Gwen, what are we going to do with her? I know she's trying to hold onto a shred of her "normal" life, but I can't see a marriage to Reese working out, not with her being a part of Torchwood.
Overall, I give this episode two thumbs up. I definitely need to watch it again, but on first viewing, I love it!
I'm really looking forward to watching it on BBCA. Here's to hoping they don't cut too much out of it.
YAY!! Torchwood is back!!!
