Torchwood: Asylum
Jul. 1st, 2009 02:59 pmThat was pretty cool.
The story was archetypal Torchwood: Something comes through the Rift (in this case a lost half-alien girl from the future and her Universal Remote); Torchwood have to deal with it. I imagine this was a deliberate choice to set things up; tomorrow's story shakes things up and takes them very far from Cardiff and the Rift.
I think PC Andy is now on the inside, which is cool, although it's always possible he was Retconned quietly and I missed it. And the idea of 2060s Torchwood having control of the Rift and deliberately sending people and things to their past incarnation is one that has potential.
And the future slang didn't get annoying, even though I expected it to.
So yeah. Impressed.
