I was cheated of a potentially nice Owen-drowning-in-heavy-water sequence.
I thought that was more of an fade-to-white than anything, and just meant to contrast the series's established "Death is Dark and Silent and there's something moving" thing.
They had better not bring Owen back. Tosh's death came as a surprise, I must admit, and made my eyes go all moist and blinky.
I reacted in much the same way, though I hated Tosh's farewell video. Not because they did it -- I actually think the idea is great and quite in-character -- but what she said was a little off; maybe because at this point we didn't really need to have it hammered home that YES, Tosh was in love with Owen. For some inexplicable reason.
Jack, John, Ianto, Gwen and possibly Martha for season 3?
The All-Jack-Centric cast. John works better for me as a sometimes-ally, sometimes-enemy, actually. Just because he's played by Spike doesn't mean they need to turn him into late-Buffy soppy Spike -- and they would.
Gwen has certainly come into her own, though. Martha, I think, would up the quota of mourning for Owen, which I don't need, as much as I like her.
I think they really need either an entirely fresh face, or Rhys, or both, to join the team in the autumn schedules.
Oh god. That's just what we need to sit through: an hour each week of Rhys being incredulous and whiny on a Torchwood paycheque. What started out as an interesting character interaction for Gwen, a good source of conflict, has begun to bore me. I did like him interacting with Andy, though. Torchwood hasn't got much in the way of supporting cast beyond the two of them and it would be a shame for him to join up. Though I wouldn't mind Andy being around, maybe -- except he works so well as is. |
