We step into the ring with guest Julie this week, returning at long last to our Torchwood progress to discuss Noel Clarke’s contribution to the first season. (Yes, THAT Noel Clarke.) Owen isn’t dealing well with the whole “jilted lover” state of being, and to our surprise, it’s Gwen who takes the superlative award for the week for “worst choices”. The obvious glaring parallels with Fight Club aside, we agree that the episode is a well-structured and executed one, and Clarke is to be commended on progressing some of our characters into some interesting territory to come.
