Review: Torchwood S2 06 Reset

[crabby_lioness]

Where we welcome Martha with a pretty good plot.

J. C. Wlsher wrote a good old-fashioned Detective plot through and through, well paced but it seemed everyone was a bit slow in their detective roles.  I'm sitting here thinking,"check the paper records, interview the families and friends" and nobody is doing it.  Our guys aren't the greatest gumshoes

I just want to say how much I enjoy your reviews and insights into Torchwood. I agree with you on how Jack was acting around Martha--he seemed younger, more light-hearted. The scene with her and Ianto was priceless--what exactly is a UNIT cap? Dr. Copely was utterly chilling, in many ways the most evil character Torchwood has ever shown. Personally, I think bringing Owen back is a mistake--much as I'll miss him, the dead should stay dead...except for Jack, of course.

UNIT caps come in two flavors: the peaked officer's cap with the red striep in the middle and a red beret. I assume they're talking about the beret actually. You can see UNIT troops in the hostpital where the pig-man is being held Aliens of London, and under the Tower of London in The Christmas Invasion, and in the Second, Third, and early Fourth Doctor stories, although in the Classic Who the caps were grey.

Hmm, just a hat...the way everyone was talking about it I started to think it was some kind of sex toy. Oh well...

My dear, anything is a sex toy when viewed in the right light. ;)

That is so true (laughs wickedly). Now all we need is the right story...
