In the run-up to "Let's Kill Hitler", I've decided to go back to the start (of Matt Smith's era) and review.
First up, "The Eleventh Hour". |

Episode three i felt was the best of the three so far. However i have some itches that need sorting.
Jack: His coat is obviously now manufactured and hideous, His gun is now an american semi-automatic instead of his symbolic Revolver, his arm didn't heal from the CIA blast and now is infected (okay realistic) however the bruising he sustained was gone in the sex scene? Gwen: Ryhs isn't wanted all of a sudden? They could have her by the balls yet whoever wants Torchwood out of the way hasn't thought of that... Also the baby clearly isn't needed nor wanted so is wrote out of the story with the occasional mentions, bad move. Rex: typical American shooting first and asking questions later, nice to see his character develop a little bit but could have done with some explanation as to why he slept with the woman and some history between them would be nice as they cant be husband and wife nor divorced under the Hippocratic oath. Ester: cute girl, i like her actually she isn't all in my face yet still American. However i have a feeling her crying and stupidity will inevitably annoy me.

Jack's as bland as ever, unfortunately. The drunk call to Gwen was the highlight of the episode, but again that doesn't say much compared to the rest. Rhys and everyone else seem to have been sidelined. I only hope they come into it a lot more in the future, though it appears unlikely. Rex has improved. Slightly. The rest are pretty bland. Even that evil woman in the red coat isn't doing much. The best non-Torchwood character is easily Oswald Danes, though I'm still not keen on the storyline (I won't judge until all 10 episodes have aired though). |

Bill Pullman is showing some incredible acting. He's making me feel like if saw him in public i'd want to hit him. There was a lot of good writing for him too in honesty however RTD shoots himself with that daft little scene on the TV about the journey. SEriously who'd believed that and no laugh in the real world.

I've also got misgivings about his lack of revolver, and would like to see him with his .38 service revolver again, but it probably didn't get taken with him when they got rendidited to the states, and I actually thought this was a good bit of continuity rather than a play to the US market. Im still reserved on Ep.4, Im going to have to watch it again before I make my mind up, and I don't want to drop too much as I know you guys are watching it a week after I am. Cheers,

Spoiler:
You can always use spoiler tags! Personally, I'm not bothered because it seems each episode (until around episode 6/7) will be summed up with "nothing really happens".

Children of Earth had 5 episodes and had to get on with it. This has 10 and it just feels like they've had to pad a lot out. |
