Torchwood: From Out of the Rain

Ugh. I really didn't like this episode much. Too heavy on atmosphere, too light on plot and characters. Freaky traveling show folk step off of the screen, and steal "the last breaths" of innocent people. That's about it. The only interesting thing was a small tidbit about Jack's past- he was once part of a traveling show (an undercover operation) as "the man who can't die". Also, there is some nice Ianto backstory- he loves movies, and he loved going to shows with his dad. Not important, but it was nice to see him so enthusiastic about something!

A couple of memorable quotes/scenes:

Owen: That is you. Right, now I've seen everything.

Ianto: Told you.

Gwen: You did stand up?

Jack: I never did stand up.

Gwen: Okay then - a song and dance

Jack: I was sen-sa-tion-al.

Tosh: I don't believe this Jack, what were you doing there?

Owen: He's part of this freak show.

Jack: Some things never change.

Owen: You being rude about me?

Ianto: It's more than just a cinema. It's the Electro. (included because Ianto was so adorable in his joy!)

Happy Ianto, bored Owen and Gwen at the Electro opening:



But wait! Who's that on the screen? Nice outfit.



The next two episodes, Adrift and Fragments, are much better. I am dreading Exit Wounds, though. The rumors are true. I'm not sure I'm going to watch next season...:(
