Hmm. Enjoyed that. Much better than last year's Christmas special.
Season #3 trailer looks rather intriguing, too.
Daleks. A glimpse of something that might have been a competent cyberman. And a cat-man pilot who looked strangely reminiscent of the Dr Who comic's Freefall Warriors...
I couldn't disagree more, the Christmas special was really bad. I am sick of the one dimensional shouty sarf londoners who seem to make up the bulk of Russell T Davies 'Strong Woman' roles. The story made no sense, Sarah Parish's Lolth/drowess from beyond space and time was in the final analysis, crap and completely powerless. What kind of ancient and mysterious race gets its spaceships taken out by a tank? A crap one.
Tunnels to the centre of the Earth, Austin Powers anyone? Feared creatures from beyond space and time, who looked very much like the Shadows from B5. Torchwood being a plot macguffin, surely Torchwood must be passing into Scifi folklore as one of the most inept, unconvincing 'secret' organisations that has ever existed.
Daleks are Russel T Davies equivalent of the Rolling Stones, this will be their final episode, the one where they are all killed off, their final tour until next year.
Ah, but isn't it in the Doctor's current universe, where the cybermen/dalek attack thing happened? In which case everyone now knows all about alien invasions. Plus there's no "Torchwood" on this side anyway just flangy remains.
