Review: Torchwood 2.12 – “Fragments”

- by Chris Piers | Filed under: Featured,Reviews and Recaps,Torchwood

Know what’s past due? An origins story for the Torchwood crew (minus Gwen since we know her story). We finally get it with “Fragments,” the first of the two-part season two finale. And for my money, it was AWESOMESAUCE. The Torchwood time, minus Gwen who is running late, have tracked down a strange alien signal [...]

Review: Torchwood 2.11 – “Adrift”

- by Chris Piers | Filed under: Featured,Reviews and Recaps,Torchwood

I now believe that the second season of Torchwood is forming into something good. They tell all sorts of types of stories, which at first seems inconsistent, but I see some elements that the writers have focused on improving. A big part of that is making the main characters likable (Rhys and Owen are both [...]

Review: Torchwood 2.10 – “From Out of the Rain”

- by Chris Piers | Filed under: Featured,Reviews and Recaps,Torchwood

Creepy! This episode showed me that while Torchwood often has moments of inconsistency, it’s because the show can work well as so many different things. Doctor Who, it’s parent show, does this too. Sometimes it’s a sci-fi episode, sometimes it’s action, sometimes it’s mystery or romance. Well this one was horror, and for me, it [...]

Review: Torchwood 2.9 – “Something Borrowed”

- by Chris Piers | Filed under: Featured,Reviews and Recaps,Torchwood

YES! Finally, a really good Torchwood. A lot of us agree that it hasn’t quite found its voice yet, but sometimes it gets things right. The season premier was one example and this is definitely another. In fact, it’s probably my favorite single episode yet. “Something Borrowed” follows Gwen’s last day as a single gal [...]

The Trouble With Torchwood

- by James DiBenedetto | Filed under: Doctor Who,Featured,News and Commentary,Torchwood

In his review of the latest Torchwood episode, Chris wrote: “Oh, Torchwood. If I had to give you a report card, I’d be the teacher that always writes, “Does not reach potential.” When you’re good, you’re VERY good. Unfortunately, most of the time you’re really only GOOD to OK. Tonight was pretty much just OK.” [...]

Review: Torchwood 2.8 – “A Day in the Death”

- by Chris Piers | Filed under: Featured,Reviews and Recaps,Torchwood

Oh, Torchwood. If I had to give you a report card, I’d be the teacher that always writes, “Does not reach potential.” When you’re good, you’re VERY good. Unfortunately, most of the time you’re really only GOOD to OK. Tonight was pretty much just OK. This is the third episode of an arc that has [...]

“Did you miss me?”

- by Jeff Barrus | Filed under: News and Commentary,Torchwood

Torchwood is back. We’ve discussed the show and our disappointment with the first series at length on the podcast, but after this trailer, I have high hopes that they’ve righted the ship. Jack is front and center, just as as he should be. And James Marsters’ time agent character has me excited about his appearance [...]
