Torchwood

[altariel]

So, Torchwood. Kind of... icky, wasn't it? I think I get the story might be about corruption now. But Gwen is a useless POV character (and I'll never forgive her for what she's doing to Barry Backstory; although I think Burn wotsisname is giving the best performance in the show). I think if I was about fifteen, I might think this was the best TV programme I had ever seen. As it is - well, it's better than Robin Hood. But nowhere near as good as Strictly Come Dancing.

Hey, though! They're showing Crown Court on Legal TV!

I'm still watching The State Within, but only with half an eye.

I actually really enjoyed the last episode of Spooks: I thought it was a relatively straightforward suspense story, but that they did it wonderfully well. I was literally bouncing around in excitement by the end. But some of the dialogue was daft and the resolve with Adam's bit of metal was terribly corny. Mr A. agrees that it was a let-down. What didn't you like?

Only that it didn't turn out to be in any sense a climax of the series as a whole - they could have bunged the episode in more or less anywhere (apart from that it sort of depended a bit on Adam's loopy arc). As an episode in itself it was pretty good, so maybe my earlier comment was too harsh.

I don't understand why they seem to have resolved the usual end-of-season cliffhanger - why not just cut half a second earlier and leave us all guessing ? [Unless it's all a bluff and they've surfaced in the path of a speedboat ?)

And I lost my bet re Malcolm's revenge on Ros!

I have to say that if they had done the cut half a second earlier, I would have put my foot through the television screen. I needed that resolution!
