Ok this was much more like it. We are almost halfway through and this felt like Torchwood again. The other episodes had Torchwood characters in them and they played with the name but this was Torchwood.<\/p>\n
Spoilers behind the cut and in the comments.<\/p>\n
I am grateful for a series that finally feels like itself again.

Finally there is proactive rather than reactive episode. I know they were playing introduction to people who hadn\u2019t a clue what Torchwood was and they had to set up the story, but now it needs to move forward.<\/p>\n
They also set up a couple of ticking clocks in motion for the rest of the series. Gwen\u2019s Dad, Ester\u2019s sister and nieces, and I am figuring eventually Rex\u2019s Dad is going into the mix. The only person who doesn\u2019t have anyone is Jack.<\/p>\n
The raid on PhiCorp is where I felt that Torchwood vibe even when it goes horribly wrong. Less wringing of hands and more action.<\/p>\n
Also give Pullman some serious acting props for the scene outside and then inside the hospital. He pulled it off and made me believe how much of a snake Danes is.<\/p>\n
Also the \u201cdemise\u201d of Ellis Hartley Monroe was pretty fracking terrifying. And now we have a name \u201cthe Families\u201d to go with the omnipresent big bad.<\/p>\n
So now they have information to act on and how are they going to act on it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
