part 4
Man this episode is taking forever. Okay, back and finally bored enough to try and power through the end of this episode so I can get back to Torchwood or possibly Trial of a Time Lord. What I need are some minions who can recap for me like, during football season when I’m too busy/drunk. We get some quick shots of Ping Pong Assault Vehicle 1 cruising through space. The Marshal has brought a long a minion (not Carl) so he can yell at him. Read More »

part 2
Heyyyy I’m back. It’s been awhile but in the time I’ve been gone I moved across the country, got a job, learned to play an instrument, and got shitfaced drunk more times than I can remember. So what have YOU done lately? yeah that’s what I thought. I’m finishing Key to Time because the entire cast of Torchwood is annoying me.
So the whole “TARDIS is gone” thing was kind of a fakeout – it’s just buried under the section of ceiling that fell down. I’m sure you’ve been waiting on tenterhooks for six months waiting to find that out, so breathe a sigh of relief. Hi, time tunnel! I’ve missed you! Four and Romana exchange some panicked what-do-we-do dialogue and the doctor-lowercase-d comes rushing down the hall. Four jumps on him, grabs his throat and goes “RRaaauuughhhh!” then realizes who it is and lets him go. Um. Moving right along. Merak! That’s the guy’s name. After six months one tends to forget the random jumbles of consonants the writers use to name their characters. Read More »
Jack’s up on the rooftop again, staring out at Cardiff. There’s been a major disturbance in his force. He’s still having flashbacks, and we learn that his mom survived, but when MiniJack finds her she seems more upset about his losing Grey than she is happy to see him. Jack and his issues just chill on the very, very tall structure, and I really dunno if that’s the safest place for him to be while in this mindset. Read More »
Rhys and Gwen are being sickeningly adorable as per usual. Also, Rhys is naked as per usual. He’s in bed and Gwen is getting ready for work, with her super-professional Converse All Stars on. I guess the low-tops say “these are serious shoes”? At least Gwen seems to think so. Read More »
I’m praying that this is the episode where Rhys and Gwen finally break up, even though that will never ever happen. Read More »
We open on … Rhys, for once. He’s driving and singing along to a jingle on the radio for Harwood’s. Rhys is such a dork. His cell starts ringing suddenly, when Rhys suddenly looks incredibly confused, like he just realized he’s in a car. He pulls over and answers, and someone named Ruth tells him there’s been an accident. He says he’ll be right over. One of the Harwood trucks has struck a car and flipped over on the highway, and Rhys introduces himself to the cop on duty as the manager of Harwood’s. This was the job he called Gwen about earlier when she was busy getting creeped out by Captain Spike. The driver is dead, and Rhys is horrified because he knew the guy. He tries to arrange to have the wreckage hauled away, but the cop says their good buddies Torchwood want to take a look at something suspicious in the truck first. I foresee awkwardness. Also, more drugs in Rhys’ future. Read More »
Owen wanders around the radiation wing while Gwen reads him a section of the old field report (which I guess wasn’t locked in the canister, because it hasn’t opened yet). She says the old Torchies said they saw something through the time rift, a “woman in strange armor, ripping a Union Jack.” Gwen says this seems weird, and maybe they’re wrong about the time shift, and maybe it’ll occur in the future when plate mail and unpatriotic displays of free speech are back in fashion.

Man, it’s nice to watch something without having to wait for a stream to load. Okay, we’re in teh old-timeys and a couple (though maybe not a couple couple) named Harriet and Gerald are running around on staircases with weird boxes hanging around their necks. The boxes look like the bastard offspring of an old camera and wind-up telephone, and have dials on top. My money says this is old-timey Torchwood. (If you don’t recall, Torchwood was started by Queen Victoria in the year hrmrmmmffffhmhmm in the Doctor Who episode Tooth and Claw). They seem to be looking for any weirdness in a big hospital, and accidentally turn the corner and crash into a nurse, who is annoyed that the ghost sightings are getting worse. She says she’s seen three today. Good to know the local yokels have always hated Torchwood. Read More »
