Torchwooooooood!
Have just seen the first episode of Torchwood S3/Children of Earth. It did not disappoint. I reserve the right to change my mind some point where I am not completely lost to fannish glee, but for now ... GLEE! in capitals.
For anyone watching on the US schedule, I have no spoilers below except for new character names and guest actors, but just in case:
Just randomly:
1. The writing of S1 and S2 might have left something to be desired, but these Torchwood people are consistently outstanding when it comes to casting. Actors playing Clem, Alice, Rhiannon, and Rupesh all really worked for me.
2. Ianto: it shouldn't be possible to be adorably obnoxious, yet somehow he pulls it off.
3. How come Gwen seems to be the only one accomplishing any real investigating? It's like Bizzaro Torchwood.
In conclusion, I have only one thing to say. Tupperware!
Fine, my conscience has forced me to add: there may be flaws, but if the rest of episodes are this good, I'm probably going to have to resort to handing out DVD's on the street to shill this show. Just not, you know, season 1 DVD's.
