I'm almost finished season one of Torchwood. I'm up to "Combat," which means there are only two episodes left in the season. It feels like it's taken a really long time, but that's okay. I don't really feel like doing episode analyses, but here are some random thoughts:
I really liked the Gwen/Owen relationship, and I'm sad that it's over now. I think it was partly because Owen was so sweet toward Gwen compared with how he is toward everyone else, and that really won me over.
I'm never sure whether or not I like Gwen. She's kind of useless and has a tendency to do things wrong, but in a way that makes her more real. On the other hand, she does often disobey/challenge Jack, and as she showed in "Combat," she doesn't take shit from her boyfriend, either, so I do respect that about her.
I can't decide about Tosh either. In "Greeks Bearing Gifts," the only episode where we really learned anything about her, we discovered that she was always the one to feel left out and unliked by the others, and she is overwhelmed by work and sensitive and... basically a combination of Ianto and Gwen.
I'm excited to see what sort of crazy season finale RTD dreamed up for this show... will it compare to the Doctor Who tearjerkers? I guess I'll find out within the next few days!
