New Season of Torchwood

BRILLIANT!!

Isn’t that what the British like to call things that are way cool and awesome?  It sure does apply to this season of Torchwood.

When last season ended, I was so bummed out.  Not only because the season had finished, but also because my favorite character, Tosh, had been killed off.  For a few days, I searched the web, hoping for any bit of info that indicated Tosh was coming back.  Sad to say, no.

Then other things came along, and I totally forgot about Torchwood.  I knew there was another season, just not sure when.  I also heard a nasty rumor that this would be the last season, and that the season would really be just a 5-part special.  Ugh!!  This was true.  The powers that be, the “brains” behind this has decided to finish off the series.  Bugger!!

Anyways, I was a bit behind on watching this season.  So much has been happening that I simply forgot.  Well, I just caught the first episode, and it was INCREDIBLE!!!!

This show can actually move quite well on only 3 of its origional 5 characters.  We’ve got Gwen, John, and Ianto.  And the plot is truly top notch.  I couldn’t believe that the hour just flew by.  You’ve got to watch it.  The action is non-stop, the writers were not pulling any punches.  Every character was speeding off in different directions, and one minute I thought I knew what was happening, and the next I was thrown a curveball.

At one point, as I was adjusting the volume, and suddenly a gun goes off.  I really jumped out of my chair!  Not only was the shot shocking, but also because it was truly unexpected.  Delicious!!

I am so happy that Torchwood is back, and I can’t wait to see the next 4 episodes.  But I’m also saddened to think that this is coming to an end.  But I’m keeping my fingers crossed.  If they can keep Dr. Who running for eons, I hope the same magic will work for this show. 

BRILLIANT!!
