Haley’s back in the studio at long last, and we didn’t even have to use a resurrection glove to make it happen. Hitting the midpoint in Season 2 of Torchwood, we see a recurrence of an episode trait that affected a large swath of the first season: story elements that are enjoyable, but feel underdeveloped. Never one to scoff at more screen time for Freema, we also get a kick out of the ‘living eulogy’, the world of Weevils, and the crew’s fascinating ability to make Gareth David-Lloyd jump and squeal at will. It’s truly a gift.
