Torchwood Episode 2.7 "Dead Man Walking"

Episode 2.7
"Dead Man Walking"

OK this latest episode of Torchwood was a slightly above middlin episode. It continues from where the last episode left off so you need to have seen that one, or at least the end of the last one to be a little up to speed as to the condition of one of the team members (Heck I don't want to give too many spoilers here) Overall I found it to be an exciting episode, but there was one bit near the end concerning Martha Jones that didn't explain itself well. All in all season two has been much improved over season one in my opinion. The characters are better developed, well D'uh that will happen given time, and a good cast with good writing. The stories are getting more interesting for the most part. I am glad that they are not overusing the weevils (the weird looking aliens that live underground and feed on human flesh.)

Oh and in this episode the team dealt with the manifestation of death, The Grim Reaper if you will, it was a CGI character but it was pretty cool looking. It was mostly a cloud of black smoke that walked around. The smoke (which was shaped sort of like the classical robes of the Grim Reaper) would swirl around a bit and in and underneath the swirling smoke was a skeletal figure. Pretty cool effects.

Wow, what an episode. Doctor Who fans will love the appearance of Martha Jones (Freema Agyeman) who appears in 3 episodes (this one plus the next two), and then makes a brief return appearance in Doctor Who season 4. Anywho, this episode had a little CSI flavor to it as in one scene, actually a montage type of scene, Martha helps Owen (Burn Groman) in the med-lab figure out what is behind some recent unexplained deaths. Of course an alien, or rather an alien species is involved, and a bio-medical hi-tech research company headed by a shady character with a low set of ethical morales. Last week's episode "Adam" was in my opinion a weak one interesting but weak, where this episode was extremely intense and exciting making it very strong. Maybe it's just my lusting for Freema and Eve Myles. Then again maybe the sophomore season of this series is getting in high-gear and kicking-arse! The teaser for the next episode looks good too, but then again the previews for the "Adam" Episode made that one look more exciting than it actually was, I will just have to wait until next week to see if episode 7 is as good as it's teaser looked.
