Torchwood Rewatch: Adrift (S2E11)
Gwen learns of another disturbing aspect of dealing with the Rift, and we all take a blow from Chris Chibnall’s ability to write emotionally charged scenes.
Torchwood Rewatch: From Out of the Rain (S2E10)
We spin up some oldey-timey footage of circus sideshows and try and determine exactly who the ‘Night Travellers’ were, why they were doing whatever nefarious things they did in a century ago, and how they were captured in celluloid in the first place.
Torchwood Rewatch: Something Borrowed (S2E9)
Phil Ford is back in the writing credits for one of the strongest humor-horror-high-anxiety stories of the second Torchwood season, but we have a difficult time discerning which categorization best fits.
Torchwood Rewatch: A Day in the Death (S2E8)
It’s the second season story where not-dead Owen is a horrible grief counselor, Martha leaves, and we all agree that one can effectively leave it at that.
Torchwood Rewatch: Dead Man Walking (S2E7)
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.
Torchwood Rewatch: Reset (S2E6)
While reveling in the return of Doctor Martha Jones and all the things we love about her, we also recognize a solid story that works completely outside of the science fiction construct.
Torchwood Rewatch: Adam (S2E5)
An unfamiliar face joins the Hub 3 team, but no one seems to notice until our lovable lunkhead Rhys gets the right people upset about the right things.
Torchwood Rewatch: Meat (S2E4)
The reason many of us remember the ‘tortured space manatee’ episode from Season 2 is the same reason others forget…the disturbing nature of the episode’s primary storyline.
Torchwood Rewatch: To The Last Man (S2E3)
Tommy the thaw-and-refreeze soldier gets a first date with Tosh and one last swing at Owen before being asked to save Cardiff…and the world.
Torchwood Rewatch: Sleeper (S2E2)
With the team now working more effectively and completely than any time in Season 1, we’re handed a rather overt, at times obvious investigation into a crime that could have led to more, but didn’t.
