Torchwood 2x02: "Sleeper"

Once again... thanks for being awesome, Youtube.

Somehow Owen isn't annoying me as much as usual at the beginning of this episode. I liked his bickering with Gwen.

So, last season, I never really noticed Ianto... sort of thought he was this background character that wasn't too important. But now he seems like he actually has a personality, and he's deadpan sarcastic. I like it.

I think basically every character has gotten a personality overhaul this season. Everyone seems different. And more likable.

"Stop wasting our time. We know you're an alien." Oh Jack.

Gwen looks so uncomfortable right before the mind probe thing. It's hilarious. For some reason I derive amusement whenever Gwen is in difficult situations. I think it might be because I find her annoying. Yeah, that's it.

Whoa, her arm just opened up.

This is like the other side of Human Nature/The Family of Blood, but not as good. She's a "sleeper agent" with a fake human persona.

Apparently there's more than one sleeper agent, and they're all waking up. The arm thing is freaky.

HOLY CRAP... a car just hit a stroller with a baby in it. Okay... was that really necessary? I know Torchwood is dark and all, but seriously?

This cryogenic freezing thing was never going to work. Duh.

Wow, her arm just turned into a big knife. That was really, really freaky.

Owen: "How did you know all that?"
Ianto: "...I know everything. And it says so at the bottom of the screen."
I think that Ianto is awesome.

The arm remote things on the aliens are gross.

I'm really impressed with Owen and Ianto's characters. Whatever was wrong with them first season isn't wrong with them anymore. I think that's the highlight of this episode.

"Come on, have a little faith! With a dashing hero like me on the case, how can we fail?" I think that is the most sarcastic thing Jack has ever said.

If aliens wanted to come take over the Earth, why would they start anywhere in the UK, much less the middle of Cardiff, Wales...? I mean really.

I just read that the little boy in this episode, Patrick Granger's son, the random guy that gets killed, is the kid who played the Master in the flashbacks of the series three finale of Doctor Who.

Oh, and there it is... Jack died again. Or at least, he got stabbed.

Okay, really, this seems more like a situation that the Doctor should be dealing with - big alien invasion and all. Where the heck is he? If he is doing anything other than getting Rose back from the other universe, there is no excuse for this.

Jack and Ianto are up to something. And I don't think it's a big secret what that something is.

I think Beth is going to kill herself.

Or not. Well, she sort of did. She made them kill her by threatening to kill Gwen. Same difference.

Whatever this friendship/relationship/thing is between Jack and Gwen is, it feels forced and unnatural.

OOOH. Next week's looks awesome... because it's a time travelling episode. Those are the best kind.
