I think that there is hope for Frobisher. Because he is a family man it makes him view the situation with more humanity and empathy than Dekker and the PM.Lucy McGoughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11343777122050849475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3737235139994190228.post-80599462480503792192009-07-07T17:54:44.398+01:002009-07-07T17:54:44.398+01:00I have to echo your sexual fantasy, shawnie!
Oh, ...I have to echo your sexual fantasy, shawnie!<br /><br />Oh, Rupesh, you naughty boy. He was rather scrummy and I was quite excited that he was going to be a new recruit. And it would have turned into a three way knowing Jack.<br /><br />Alas, not to be. He lived like an assassin and died like an assassin. A very cute assassin, tho'.Frank Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00680654042528560764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3737235139994190228.post-56540064661990571572009-07-07T17:52:08.338+01:002009-07-07T17:52:08.338+01:00'Have you gone bender' was indeed the funn...'Have you gone bender' was indeed the funniest moment. As a gay 'coming out' scene it was rather well done and very funny. GDL was great, wasn't he!<br /><br />The general consensus is that BBC Wales have finally worked out how to make Torchwood.

Great opening episode,...Children Of Earth: Day One<br /><br />Great opening episode, everything you could want and more.<br /><br />The 456, not the coolest title for an alien race but I can't wait to see how it's all going to work within the next few days.<br /><br />The government wanting to kill Torchwood and blowing the Hub to bit, it took me by surprise that one.<br /><br />Interesting villains as well with Frobisher, Bridget, Decker, the PM and Johnson the assassin.<br /><br />Rupesh was cute, pity he was a spy and had to die. We could've gotten a three way with him, Jack and Ianto (I'll go in the corner now)<br /><br />Lois however looks set for Torchwood duty as does Rhys.<br /><br />Kids stopping in the middle of the street chanting, yeah definitely creepy.<br /><br />I liked the personal elements, mention of Martha, Gwen saying hello to the Owen/Toshiko picture, very believable. No Doctor but I think that'll be later.<br /><br />Jack having a daughter and grandson wasn't a shock. I liked Alice and Steven.<br /><br />I also liked seeing Ianto's sister and niece and nephew. Didn't like his brother in law though. Less of that dude and i'll be happy.<br /><br />The outing scene was beautifully written. So truthful.<br /><br />Both Jack and Ianto were going to use their niece/grandson as test subjects were it not for their daughter/sister stopping them. I side with Alice and Rhiannon of course.<br /><br />Is Andy gonna show up as well this year?<br /><br />Clem's way of finding out that Gwen was pregnant was neat. Rhys'll be in his element.<br /><br />Gwen looked happy herself and it tied into Eve Myles real life pregnancy.<br /><br />I missed this show and now it's back for a week. Please let there be a fourth year. 9/10<br /><br />Frank, reviews on my blog will be around Thursday/Friday.shawnlunn2002https://www.blogger.com/profile/14242367250345323622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3737235139994190228.post-15651954203990468172009-07-07T13:36:38.128+01:002009-07-07T13:36:38.128+01:00Great stuff.

So it was a shock when he turned on Jack and shot him! <br /><br />No doubt there is some shady organisation keeping tabs on TW and it will become clearer as the week progresses but I got slightly lost there towards the end. It must be my age.<br /><br />Part 2 tonight!Frank Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00680654042528560764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3737235139994190228.post-19542041440842707752009-07-07T11:06:29.134+01:002009-07-07T11:06:29.134+01:00It was an excellent first episode - better than I ...It was an excellent first episode - better than I was expecting. The twist towards the end with Rupesh was very well done. Having seen him in various clips I had been thinking he might be a new member to the Torchwood team. Surprisingly (and somewhat sadly) not. Great stuff.<br /><br />I got the impression that, before the 456 came back, the shady organisation that "killed" Jack were trying to infiltrate Torchwood (using a missing bodies story to get them interested) just because they're a shady government organisation and needed info on, and control of, Torchwood which is 'beyond' the government (but still paid by them?). Because that's what shady government organisations do. Obviously!<br /><br />Then, of course, the 456 turn up, plans change, and they decide to get rid of Torchwood rather than control/monitor it.<br /><br />Looking forward to the rest of the week!S Bateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14356657498264383431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3737235139994190228.post-68179842738567214362009-07-07T02:53:58.160+01:002009-07-07T02:53:58.160+01:00But the kill order wasn't for Torchwood, just ...But the kill order wasn't for Torchwood, just for Jack.
