Torchwood

[altariel]

I liked last night's episode rather a lot, although the Torchwood element seemed almost incidental to what was a jolly good story. I suppose this isn't surprising in a show that's still finding its feet... although we are now five episodes in to a 13 episode run. But then Blake's 7 didn't hit its stride till 'Shadow' (discuss).

However, it's good to see that PJ Hammond's instincts for the atavistically scary have not in fact deserted him. (I watched a very disappointing episode of Midsomer Murders by him the other week, when I was hoping he would nail that sense of being in a hell dimension that makes Midsomer Murders so compulsive...) Anyway, yes: FEEL THE FAIRY FEAR! And it was bang on that Lord of the Dance sounds more like a HYMN TO SATAN! *shivers* Honestly, scariest song ever.

Anyway, so, plenty that was good, plenty still to quibble about, mostly to do with my still not having a sense of this show's identity.

Spooks finale tonight, woo hoo! *gnaws knuckles*

Ooh, I missed this comment what with my email problems; sorry! Good point about what the fairies have to do with Torchwood: presumably Jack isn't bothered with the niceties, particularly if he's afraid they might affect someone he loves.

I loved the Cottingley stuff, which I had a mild obsession about as a kid, and I thought they handled the creepiness very well. Was the mother supposed to pregnant by her new chap? Perhaps they have left a changeling...
