Torchwood - To the Last Man

I've not commented so far on the new series of Torchwood, tonight's episode has just finished and I feel compelled to write something. If the quality of the rest of the season lives up to the standard of tonight's episode, then I'm a happy man.

Helen Raynor has written an interesting temporal plot line that, when complete, leaves you feeling satisfied, and moved. The story didn't need, gun fire and explosions to deliver its impact, neither did it need car chases and alien skulduggery.

The human story of attachment and subsequent loss was sufficiently powerful enough to carry the episode to its conclusion.

If you missed it, you can watch it again by clicking here. (only works from the UK, sorry!)


On a trivia point: If you thought that Tommy (Anthony Lewis) looked a little like Neville Longbottom (Matthew Lewis) from the Harry Potter films, then you'd be right. Anthony & Matthew are brothers.
