My Two Torchwood cents

As many of you know, last night began one of the best weeks of the year and possibly, of my life. It is one of the best weeks because of four words and one punctuation mark. Torchwood: Children of Earth. Now then, as we all know, Torchwood is one of the best shows produced by the BBC (if it's a drama and it's made by BBC Cymyru Wales, it's gold). Now then, as I am watching it again ( My sister didn't see it so she's watching it now while having her din dins) I am just really soaking it all up. Last night, whenever I watched it, I really to be honest couldn't immerse myself because I was, and I'm not going to lie, I was fan boying over it. And I'm still fan boying over Day two. But now I have watched it and have got the fan boy gene out of my system (for the moment) I can fully enjoy it. And I love it.


I mean, the music, that Murray Gold and Ben Foster Magic, it sends shivers down my spine. I mean, at the opening where Gwen's friend is running to the home office, that brilliant sound coming from what I think should be renamed the Doctor Who Orchestra of Excellence was just fantastic. It screams "I am the adult Doctor Who, give the the respect I deserve!" and from me, it does. I mean it just sets the atmosphere for the scene.


Also, I just love how it can reek of Torchwood but only has violence in the last 15 minutes of it which I just love. But, you have to admit, it would not be Torchwood if it did not have a few gunshots. But the *** ******* ********* at the end is just amazing. And also, with the "area" where the cause of the *** ******* ********* is kept, and Ianto's ascent, it leaves the ultimate cliffhanger ending. It keeps fans coming back wondering " Will he survive? or will Torchwood be shut down for good?! I must know!", it is so nail biting!

While many people think that it would be better if they had spread out the parts of the story to about a month, I personally think that it is better to have it all in the same week. Even though we do not get much time with the trio of kick ass team, the story is always fresh in your head from the day before, so there is no need to recap on the story and there is no frustration when you are looking at the TV and thinking "Who the hell are you?!".

So over all, great storyline, brilliant score, best use of a *** ******* ********* I have seen in ages, and good Janto moment (even though I am not a fan of Yoai moments, even though it is not an anime). The only thing I wish there was more of was that there was more Rhys. He's the fllipin comic relief character. You gotta love the comic relief characters. But anyway, I love it and I can't wait for tonight at 9:00.

Irish Out.
