Torchwood commentary 3x01
Am I the only one who finds it confusing this episode is called "Day One"? I mean, 27 episodes in and they have to start reusing names?
Anyway...
I'd somehow been spoiled about Jack having a daughter, but the early spoilers implied she was the angry chick with the gun (I didn't get her name, sorry- the one who shot Jack and the doctor). I'm VERY glad that didn't wind up being the case. Poor Jack though, he obviously wants more to do with his daughter and grandkid, but knows that's not in the cards.
Eve Miles was looking exceptionally beautiful in my opinion. Something about the eyes and the dusting of freckles on her cheeks and nose.
As for the plot overall? It's hard to judge when one fifth into it. I have a feeling it's not going to make a whole lot of sense. Torchwood's been around a LONG time, with full support from the Crown. UNIT may not like them, but they have seemed to work together in the past just fine. I have no idea who evil people with guns and bombs are, but it just seems like an awfully big cowinkydink that they come TW just when the children of the earth thing is coming down.
I will say the SUV being stolen was STUPID. And, overall, the bits with Ianto's family seemed rather overdone.
Random question for UK people-Do ALL schoolkids really wear uniforms like that? Interesting, I had no idea. They don't do that here.
Nice nod to Martha, by the way. On her honeymoon *grins* Although the nod to Owen and Tosh seemed a bit forced.
edited to add- If it turns out the evil gun totting people are members of yet another SUPERSEKKRIT alien watching governmental agency I am going to be a little annoyed.
