I was bummed about Ianto. I always liked his characters. A first, I hated Lois. I couldn't stand her, but by the end I really liked her. She's a definite when they get the team back together.
The Macra ... errr... I mean 456 were interesting, but sort of hard to take serious as a world threat when they couldn't leave their tank. I'm just sayin...

The think I was most impressed with (having just watched all 5 parts last night) that after 5 hours I really didn't want to murder Gwen (I've always disliked her character). The point was made that by having fewer main characters to concentrate on, perhaps more thought was given to individual development and motivations.
Either way, it was an enjoyable 5 hours with some truly downer moments but with some genuinely funny parts, as well. It's sad that this is it for the show.On Sat, Jul 25, 2009 at 12:23 PM, Edward Crosby <[email protected]> wrote:
**SPOILERS**
Just finished watching day five. What an amazing mini-series. I've been a
fan of Torchwood since the beginning but I have to say that this was the
best story written for the show. To be honest, seeing some of the season
finales that Russell T. Davies has written for Dr. Who, I've not been a
big fan of Davies writing. He has his hits and misses; those season
finales have definitely been misses. But I can say that he did a fantastic
job on this story. Some state that the series could have been cut so that
it didn't have five episodes, but I say that everything written was vital
to the story. The only main issue I can think of was the plot device to
eliminate the 456. I thought it kind of weak of how it tied with Clem,
however still touching how it tied with Capt. Jack.
It looks like Torchwood is at an end after this series but I think that
now Capt. Jack is off planet there is so much more for that character, but
you can't really call it Torchwood unless he establishes the unit on
another planet. However, for Earth, I don't believe it would be a show
without Capt. Jack. I love this character and I hope to God that we see
more of him. If not on a Torchwood series at least on Dr. Who.
