Review Torchwood S2 10 From Out of the Rain

This week we've got another Classic Plot, albeit one that's not often seen, Monsters Emerging From the Cinema Film.

It has appeared more often in comic books than in filmed media, probably because of budget considerations.  The last time I saw it was Leave it to Chance, but Marvel and DC have turned in their versions in the past.  My husband and I

I commented to you on your last review about the whole Jack/Ianto dynamic in this one, so you know I agree with you on that

'Have you noticed that JB gives his best performances when he's working directly opposite GDL?' I noticed that too. I think it might be because Gareth's performances are always so layered that John really has to bring his A-game.

'...as long as it works. AND I get to watch it as often as possible. lol'
You and me both :D

Have you noticed that JB gives his best performances when he's working directly opposite GDL?
God, isn't that the truth? I never thought about the fact that that could be the reason I like Jack/Ianto, but you're right. Jack/Gwen annoys me on a certain level because of the confused and confusing way JB sometimes responds and reacts on screen to Eve.

Wow, you hit the nail on the head. It's sort of... awkward at times, yeah? They have all these weird looks and glanecs and it's practically impossible to tell what they actually mean. The hint of romance is so poorly devloped and it always gives me really bad *squick* feelings. But with JB and GDL it's always crystal clear exactly what they're saying without saying anything.

Crystal clear and with a power that feels like a punch in the gut.

The sexual chemistry is there with both, but if the lead actor performs better with one, that's the one you'd want to concentrate on.

because if you don't, the audience is going to scratch their heads and change the channel.
