Torchwood – Children of Earth (Pt 1) – Quick Review

Folks,

Just a short note regarding Torchwood COE…  Part 1 is excellent, and is probably the most explosive Torchwood episode ever…  Almost the perfect mix of suspense, action adventure, and drama.  Now we just need to see if Russel T Davies can continue this for the next 4 episodes.

COE starts shortly after the 3 recent Torchwood Audio plays that the BBC has just aired, and starts with the Torchwood team considering adding a new Medical Doctor to their team, after the death of the previous Doctor in the last series.  As you know, this series will introduce the oddly named  race of aliens known as “The 456”.  We find out that this is just a label the British called the aliens since we never learned their real name.

If you have BBC America, certainly flag this for watching….  Now Episode 2 is now been seen in the UK, and all I have to say so far is the beginning has the worse ever Sniper that is equipped with a Laser Designator Sniper Rifle that I have ever seen.  I am really, he should just yell “I won’t be needing this”, drop the Rifle, and just try to sucker punch his victims…
