Torchwood, aka Noooo! Not the coffee!!

[lonelybrit]

I really enjoyed this week's ep. It again relied a lot on the actors really, well, acting and for a good portion of the ep I was sucked into the character dynamics and developments.

And then about three-quarters of the way though you could almost see everyone remembering that this was Torchwood and that we should probably have something alien-ish in there, and lo! we once again plopped back into the sea of plot insanity and happy pretty crack. Anyway, I'm probably going to have to rewatch before trying to have too many 'deep' thoughts as, well, it's just that kind of ep, it needs rewatching methinks.

And THEN came the preview for next week's. Dude. All bets are off. It's going to be mad and brilliant :)

ETA: SPOILERS for the ep in the comments.

I felt Ianto's pain when Owen was abusing the poor coffee machine.

The scene between them was nicely played out I thought.

The scene between them was a thing of beauty. You could tell that Owen was angry and frightened and just trying to connect any way possible to the world around him, and whilst it obviously stung Ianto, I loved that Ianto seemed to just 'get it' and not actually rise too much to the bait, instead attempting to give Owen what he really needed, i.e. a good pep talk.

The poor coffee machine. What did it do to deserve that maltreatment *pets it*
