In Your Only Memory.
SOMEBODY NEEDS TO WRITE A TORCHWOOD AND SILENT HILL CROSSOVER RIGHT NOW.
That was rather more horrific than things I would usually watch (the bit before the opening credits was horrible. Gaaaah). It had terrifically suspenseful shooting (er, I mean camera-wise. The shooting with guns was not particularly suspenseful). I thought that the opening was very good, but that it sort of lost its way towards the end.
When Ianto and Jack remained behind after the 'who did you last snog?' conversation, looking at each other, do you think it was Jack feeling sorry for him, or guilt from the Cyberwoman incident, or Jack thinking 'you dirty liar, your last snog was me'?
I would rather like it if Ianto got over his Immense Angst and started being quietly longsuffering and witty again, please.
Owen is such a git. Such a git. And there was that Jack torture thing, and, you know, in most things you'll get the impression that the protagonists, although they have some flaws, are basically good. In Torchwood, you feel that the main characters - or quite a few of them, at least - are a bundle of flaws with some stray good qualities. Having your 'heroes' be fundamentally unlikeable or severely flawed in some other way is a brave thing to do, I think. It's similar in House: the characters don't just have few minor flaws; they are deeply and fundamentally flawed and their flaws form a large part of their character.
AHAHAHA THEY GOT THEIR VAN STOLEN. WORST TEAM EVER.
I became sick of flesh-stripped bodies very quickly. It didn't take long for me to start thinking 'wait, they said there had been seventeen disappearances, right? Are they going to show all seventeen?' Fortunately, however, they did not.
It took me an embarrassingly long time to work out that the 'monsters' were actually humans and not just aliens who looked like humans. Ahem.
THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH RHYS. NOT NEARLY ENOUGH RHYS. RHYS DID NOT HAVE A SINGLE LINE. HAVE MORE RHYS, TORCHWOOD. I use the 'CHEATING ON MY WIFE' icon in honour of poor betrayed Rhys. Yes, I know that it is not entirely appropriate to the situation.

GOOD QUESTION. I wasn't sure either, but I'm leaning towards the latter. Just, yanno, out of personal preference.
Owen is a complete and utter git and I LOVE HIM TO PIECES. Because what makes him such a git is how he is BRUTALLY HONEST about EVERYTHING. HE DOES NOT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT SECRETS, NOR YOUR OPINION, NOR THAT THIS TOPIC IS SOMETHING YOU'D RATHER NOT TALK ABOUT. He tells it like it is, as crude and unwanted as it may be.

The Rhys thing is pissing me off far, far more than it should. He might understand, Gwen, if YOU TOLD HIM ANYTHING.

I have this strange urge to make you watch The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Hills Have Eyes, Evil Dead 2 and House of a 1000 Corpses with me explaining which bit Countrycide ripped from where, but I think you'd probably hate me for introducing you to the goriest movies in the world ever, so I shan't.

Jack stared at the on coming figure. A massive being drenched in blood that seemed to be the very reason the words violence, pain, and fear were invented. Dressed in a garment seemingly made from human skin, and a massive, deadly looking, helmet on top of it's head. Effortlessly it lifted the huge blade it was carrying and pointed it at Jack.
Jack's first few thoughts were to run away screaming. The next few were to pray for a swift and painless death...and he had NO trouble this THING could kill him, if what those sorta-ghosts were telling him was the truth.
The last though however was 'Eh, I've done uglier and with people who like it rougher. Let me get a look at what's under the pyramid and then we'll see where it goes from there.'
