Far better use of the overhead views this week, rather than just the Cardiff Tourist Board shots of the first two episodes.

Nope This could have been just a normal episode of the Bill. Guy commits crime 20 years ago, copper tries to arrest him, feels he could provide justice and so on.

The Sci fi part ended with abt 20 mins of the show gone!

Bad Episode for me, a real let down from last week.

Better than the sex starved alien of the last episode though.

Odd little episode. Series is clearly still finding its feet at the moment, so that episode may be very handy for exposition purposes later on. Will be interested in whether the viewing figures hold up.

And here comes the weekly BBC THREE "here's every single programme on our channel, while we've got a mainstream attention".

This week was better

but why does every story seem to be centerd around Gwen

I thought Jack was supposed to be the star of the show

Gwen's being used as Rose was in Doctor Who - the way of getting the non sci-fi obsessed audience into the programme. She's the human aspect.

Strongest episode to date. Really enjoyed it and refreshingly free of sex and swearing - more like this please.

Excellent.

(Yeah, I know... [enter name of random American sci-fi show] has done it before/does it better. You know what? I don't care. Cardiff, Welsh accents, sexy guys, great storyline... Torchwood rocks.)

I would rather do without it

I find her character a bit up her own arse

Great episode - seems to be finding its feet. This one felt very human and earthy, as opposed to being a Doctor Who episode without the Doctor.

Although I'm a bit worried that Jack's being pretty unlikeable in certain scenes.

I think Eve Myles plays it brilliantly.

Wait wait. First episode was average, second episode was bad, third episode was actually good!? Didn't expect that!

Really liked it. Need to get a bit more focus on Jack though as the series goes on.

I'd rather have her than Capt Annoying Jack Harkness anyday - though I do find myself warming to him slightly more in Torchwood than I did in Doctor Who, where I just couldn't stand him.

It’s becoming better as we get to know the characters.

As for the point that every Sci-Fi show has done this before. That is nothing unusual because all the Sci-Fi / Fantasy shows copy from each other.

Well, I thought it was fantastic and the series just gets better. Owen becomes more interesting by the minute. Tosh didn't get much to do this week - but it looks like there's some fun and games next time!

not disputing that fact

It just seems to me that Torchwood revolves around her and I dont find her character that interesting

If we saw a bit more of his story you may warm to him a bit more

much better than the awkward first two. Not quiet found its feet, but getting there.

I think the attention is on Qwen because she is the newbie, and by dramatic convention our window into Torchwood

Well I enjoyed it - and it was nice to see an old SF actor in it

spoiler space
