This Week's Torchwood
Dec. 11th, 2006 10:06 pmReading my flist on a pretty extreme filter until I finish my grad school apps stuff, so I haven't read any reactions yet.
The episode made me cry.
Then so did Legally Blonde and Eight Crazy Nights. Not particularly difficult to make me cry--funeral scenes especially tend to do it. I get sort of jealous of all the sudden outpouring of love, I think.
Anyway, the point is that it's rather easy to make me cry and not necessarily an indicator of aesthetic quality. I think this was the weakest episode of the season so far. Which, again, not something to be ashamed of, every episode can't be as brilliant as "Countrycide" or "They Keep Killing Suzie," but the show is so consistently excellent that I found myself somewhat dissapointed. "Good" isn't good enough for me anymore; I've come to expect great.
( here be spoilers )
Next week's episode looks promising, though.
