I would have liked the homoerotic line (which Barrowman totally sold) if it HAD been in any way homoerotic. But it was more shoutyshouty, so I wasn't won over.
The OMG it's an ALIEN??? was just laughable. No, it's a hitherto undiscovered massive species of land-whale, shy and retiring, like the Loch Ness Monster, only Welsh. You twonk.
If they must keep pushing the Jack/Gwen attraction, can't they at least show how it's affecting Ianto - who must, after all, notice the way they constantly get into slightly-too-close staring contests with one another?
I am also underwhelmed by the fact that the only way the Torchwood writers seem to know how to evoke sexual tension is to make two characters stare at each other for ages, like they're seeing who will blink first. It's just lazy.
But Rhys, who has had pitifully little to do for ages, rocked in this, I thought. And I quite liked the body horror/meat aspect. I think this was the same writer who gave us the cannibals episode (Countrycide?) last season. She does love her gore ... |
