On the fifth day the world will be at war
What an end to an amazing week of television. The whole series was a credit to everyone who was in it or helped to make it. I have a list of things i want to talk about, some of them in this post and some in posts over the next 24 hours.
Gwen and Rhys have really became better characters over the week. I think all of this growth was epitimised in their attempt to rescue the children from the government. Gwen has changed into an action heroin and i think i really suits her character. How she didn't lose her baby during this week is a shock to me. In the same scene i think that PC Andy was great. Although he was underused in this series he was brilliant in this last episode.
Two other characters that for me in this episode excelled were agent Johnson and Spears (I forget her first name). Johnson was such a great character anyway but she was on the wrong side, a side she didn't understand. When she changed to help Captain jack it was a great turn for the character. Spears' final relalation that she had filmed the later scenes in the board room was great. The look on the primeministers face was a picture. Although i doubt the new woman who has been hinted as the new PM will be any better than him.
The plan to kill the 456 was better than i expected. Usually, RTD's ending's are ver quick and anti-climatic but this was a great ending. The first idea of 'reversing the polarity' was a bit of a let down but then it brought in the purpose of Clem's character throughout the week into the frame. The final nail in the coffin for the plan was the introduction of Steven and Alice. From the start of the week he and Alice had been introduced slowly for one purpose for Steven to die. It seems as if the relationship between Alice and Jack seems to be over for the forseeable future. I felt so sorry for jack when he lost Ianto and when he lost his gradson as we know that he has been through so much pain. All of this pain culminated on Jack after 6 months in the last scene of the week where jack leaves and runs away, again.
Pregnant Gwen looked very strange and the humour that her and Rhys showed at the end was great.
Are the 456 gone forever? Couldn't they come back in say 10 years after they have found a way of blocking the signal that Jack used to get rid of them. The 456 was not killed it simply ran away so will it be back? We will see.
I have more things to say and they will be posted tonight or tomorrow morning, they are:
The Future of Torchwood
The Journeys of Captain Jack
See Ya,
