TW Season 2 Episode 2 - Sleeper
Argh satellite is still down, gah network TV is dire. Watched all the extras on my TW DVDs, saving the commentary for tommorrow.
Not so good:
Alien arm blade - the arm bit was fairly good - bad on the AMT guy, he had way too much hair so you could see where the prostetics starts.
Ianto way too much "funny" lines. It's great GDL is getting more lines/screentime, but it's a pretty big jump compared to Season 1 or even KKBB. The audience shouldn't have to make excuses like he got a date with Jack.
Meh: Jack being all moody again. Got a bit of levity with the Ianto exchange but he was so serious in it.
The sleeper agent thing is a bit derivitive not only of sci-fi but of the TW book Border Princes.
hostage!Gwen (although it was just a tool for Beth to get shot) - they need to get the baddies to pick someone else. There's 4 other people to chose from.
Good: Beth
Team - Still gelling well and Gwen didn't annoy me as much as ep 1. Good lordy she was actually useful -
Hmm new opening monlogue, shorter, no UN mention. Don't know if I like or hate it.
It starts out really dark, can't hardly see anything. I suppose it sets the mood unlike the first which had a blowfish driving a car.
Burglers in a flat, how british a cricket bat vs the ubiqous baseball bat in US TV. Oo the burglers messed with the wrong gal.
Yeah Tosh get to go with Jack.
