The Incinerations (NOt important to the plot i doubt). Really? 
I say give it to Chris Chibnall. Wrote Countrycide the best Torchwood episode |
It really couldn't have been a two-parter. Five parts, maybe, as they did with CoE over five nights. It hasn't helped that it's felt dragged out, and it's been one episode a week... it's just waiting and waiting. Maybe once the DVD arrives it'll be easier to rewatch, at our own favoured pace.
Chibnall would ruin it! Let's look at his contributions to TW and DW...
"Day One" (2006) - Average
"Cyberwoman" (2006) - Terrible
"Countrycide" (2006) - Average, borderline crap
"End of Days" (2007) - Fantastic
"Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang" (2008) - 7/10, half-average, half good
"Adrift" (2008) - Great
"Fragments" (2008) - Great
"Exit Wounds" (2008) - Fantastic
"42" (2007) - Really poor
"The Hungry Earth" / "Cold Blood" (2010) - Really poor
Chibby's rather hit and miss. At least RTD at the helm gives us some consistency, even if the end result is somewhat jumbled.
