The best episodes of Torchwood I've seen. If it carries on like this I might have to series link it on my PVR.
I just hope that today's episode doesn't have a silly ending and spoil the four days of excitement, twists and suspense.
Read the io9 review if you're ok with minor spoilers, but if you're a sci-fi fan get on to iplayer and watch it.

But it really does seem to have picked up, though I've only seen the first three episodes so I'll be sitting down to enjoy the last two tomorrow morning.
:yes:
I like John Barrowman, also can't understand why they moved the show to BBC 1 and then cut back on episodes.
I would of much preferred a weekly episode in a regular time slot!
I know there is a full series next year running along with the new series of Dr Who, I wonder if it so they can run both series side by side.
I "dared" to almost cry last night, 2nd best Char that person was.
Did bring a tear to my eye last night :crying:
.... if the 456 are 'druggies' then why would they threaten to destroy the human race? ...because they produce their drug of choice.??
i was hoping for the doctor to appear n fix everything.
I just watched all five episodes back to back. I'm knackered now. The usual thing of not being arsed to watch a film, but split 5 hours into seperate episodes, and I'll sit down and watch them all.
This is the first time I've watched Torchwood, and I thought it was up there with the best Doctor Who plots. But I also reckon that other than Barrowman, the characters are nowhere near as interesting or charasmatic. But I guess that works better in a more serious drama (well, serious in relation to Doctor Who). I also think the while the solution to save the world seemed a bit contrived, the moral dilemma and subsequent character development made it worthwhile. But how come at the end, all of the soldiers all seemed to instantly get the message that the kidnapping was called off?
But it's still not as good as Doctor Who. I can't take it seriously enough as a serious drama, and as an entertaining drama, it's just not as, well entertaining, as Doctor Who.
I wondered that about the soldiers as well,
I have to say on some levels I prefer Torchwood, bit more gritty, messy and in your face (like Cpt J's regen from the bomb explosion) and I love the plots, Ianto did seem quite a week Char in this mini-series, I wonder if this is because he knew he was getting killed off? I don't know, I thought Gwen did a good job, specially in the last episode I thought her Camera scene was good and Rys took me by suprise (Yes I don't know all the actors names) I thought he played really well, Overall I thought the acting was brilliant, the ending with the moral dilema worked well but I didn't like it, I guess it was stemming back to the 65 encounter and the fact Jack was coming across as "Bad" or even in some respects EVIL, I don't know
I believe a new series is planned for 2010, they're just waiting to see how this one went down but rumor has it the actors are signed/onboard. I hope Rys becomes part of torchwood but Ianto dying pissed me off.
i loved him as a doctor!!!!
My fav episode of Torchwood so far is: Random Shoes- from series 1
The one positive was I really warmed to Gwen and found her very inspirational.
Also, cried for ages when Ianto died. There are rumours of a series 4, and they seemed to be setting Lois up to join the team, but I'm not sure how it would work.
Yeah, another Martha Jones on the team? I hope not...
Lois and Martha have similar accents, are of similar ages, both smart-arses, look slightly similar! Maybe I'll be proved wrong and we'll find Lois has some sort of eccentricity or is in fact another surviving Time Lord! Which would be cool...
