TW Season 2 - Episodes 5/6
Episode 5 - Adam - solid character study ep
Good:
Forward!Tosh - JB was right she is getting all of action - too bad she keeps falling in love with guys she can't have. Maybe Owen's doing her a favor
Ianto figuring out Adam wasn't in his diary (!), Evil!Ianto in his false memories-GDL does look good in black.
Aww Geeky!Owen. It's too bad he can't remember it.
Clues about Jack's past. Not believing Ianto's a killer and doing some CCTV searching.
Theatening!Gwen was pretty awesome. If she was like that on the show (not threatening poor Rhys but the bad guys) I would like her so much more
Eh:
The Adam guy was just kinda eh. He only creeped out in the Ianto scene and didn't give much sympathy for a character who really just wanted to exist.
The story mirrored Border Princes a lot.
I almost cried when I saw that blood carousel, thank god it didn't save the day.
Stop with Gwen/Jack already. So over it. Seriously, please.
Episode 6 - I think my favorite of the 6 so far with so many good things
Good:
Martha! She is so much better here than the early DW eps
plotty plot plot that made sense
undercover work
Cool gaget - camera contact lenses with texting
Jack being flirty
Owen trying to flirt with Martha and being shot down
Tom & Saxon mentions
Ianto chatting with Martha about him and Jack - avant garde indeed
No Jack/Gwen stares or declarations of love - yeah!
Ack:
Owen dead!!
Oh poor Tosh!
