Torchwood Series 2 - speculations?

Re: Torchwood Series 2

Theoretically they're Torchwood 2 - TW1 was London, 2 is them, 3 is run by a crazy guy in Scotland, and 4 disappeared.

I think that's right... he said it in either the first or second episode.

Re: Torchwood Series 2

Aaaaw, Pyan, how can you say that? They're trying they're hardest to improve interstellar relationships...

I think next series they need to deal with a monster who DOESN'T want to have sex with one of them... it might shock them into performing as a team!
 
Re: Torchwood Series 2

Hey, you never know. They've had heterosexual, bisexual and homosexual sex in one series... next series they might start on the S&M, and rape.
 
Re: Torchwood Series 2

The remit of Torchwood was an adult Sci-fi show but what I think you are all forgetting was that it was also a cop show as well. This is why (I think) there was such a sexual/violent theme running through the first season. They are virtually and literally above the law. That's why it was on after the watershed. We are also used to more family orientated SCI-FI, which made this such a shock to the system.

Also as to what next, quite frankly, they've already portrayed rape, what do you think the memory pills were about? Date rape drugs poped into folks drinks are now a common phenomena.

Overall I enjoyed the season. Dark, violent with one or two episodes that were not so good, but more than most challenged us to think.
 
Re: Torchwood Series 2

Have they shown rape? They might have implied it, in which case I wasn't paying attention, but I don't think they've actually shown it.

It seemed to die after the episode with the cannibals (where were the aliens in that, by the way?), but it picked up again for the final two, which I thoroughly enjoyed. :)
 
Re: Torchwood Series 2

was it a cop show? how? there was very little in the way of proper procedure shown. In the first ep, when the police are told to clear the murder scene for torchwood...I can't see that ever happening! And they fiddle with evidence, take it home, lose it, play with it, go altering timelines...

Give torchwood to the weevils, at least you wouldn't expect them to have morals, or intelligence, or common decency!

Not many episodes made me think; the Susie episode was probably the 'thinikiest' (sorry, daft word), and that was just becasue I sat there going 'Surely she'd have gone moldy!'.

Let's pleeeease just give it some grit, make it a fun and fantastic british x-files; decent storylines, less plotholes, more attention to detail. And let the viewer use their imagination more, I don't wanteverything spelled out for me, I want to try and guess ahead! (Although I did that in the weird cannibals episode, and boy, was I wrong!)

sorry, rambling again. time for a horlicks!

I think we were meant to think there were horrible, flesh-eating, amoral aliens, then it was a really big shock when we find they're just sick-puppy humans.
 
Re: Torchwood Series 2

I agree... I was on the edge of the seetee waiting for some horrible weevil-like alien to jump out and devour Ianto or Tosh.

And then, when I found it is was humans, I half hoped to see something reminiscent of Alien, or the Slitheen... but, alas, it was not to be.

Still, it was a cracking episode.
 
Re: Torchwood Series 2

You are indeed correct emu of ours.

Rape was not shown I should have said the drug was a (in my opnion) metaphor for rape, the loss of choice and the violation of their memories, to me being a form of rape, but I'm sure not everyone agrees with that.

I enjoyed the earlier part of the season but not the last episode, and I agree the canibal episode had me on the edge of my seat.
 
Re: Torchwood Series 2

In something you can file “under strange but true” I actually found the cyberwoman quite scary as well.

I put it down to really connecting with Ianto’s character. It’d be horrible to lose the person you love without really losing them, to still see them surviving every day. Might be something to do with the fact that my partner had a health scare recently.

I also could it as the silliest episode to the costume…a cyberwoman who needs high heels and breast augmentation?! It puts me in mind of the Dr Who send up “The curse of Fatal Death” where in the end the master is augmented by the Daleks with “bumps”

But I agree, the populace of Splot made for a really scary episode, specially when you realize they’re all human.
 
Re: Torchwood Series 2

Truly scary!

...especially the guy I spoted about 10 mins ago going for a walk in his speedos. *shudder* I don't even live anywhere near water.

Because they can.

A poster has asked the same question with BSG series 3

The series is popular at the moment, but when the time comes when you've run out of ideas & direction, then it's time to stop.

Does this apply to TW?
