Seriously, if you haven't seen this yet, don't read my review...
OH MY F***ING GOD.
This series just keeps getting better and better....
That was outstanding. (As you can tell, from the fact I'm writing this 4 minutes after it ended!)
The first half of the episode was slow, but good, showing much more detail of what happened in the 60s, with the first encounter of the 456.
Peter Capaldi is doing brilliant work as Frobisher, a man who is watching his life crumble as it all collapses from underneath him...
Johnson (as played by Liz May Brice) finally got to show some emotion other than "lets hunt them all down and kill them whooppeee!"
But that final sequence - from Lois informing the cabinet room that Torchwood are taking over, to Jack and Ianto's entrance into the MI5 building, the showdown with the 456, and then... that twist.
The 456 release a virus which kills everyone in Thames House. EVERYONE. And we all know that Jack can come back to life, but Ianto, poor Ianto.... He dies in Jacks arms.
I have to say, they've got some balls. "I know, we're down to three regular cast.. lets kill one..."
Although... and this is a big although, and possibly just the thoughts of a sceptical mind, but they made a big thing of showing us Ianto's body, and the line "There's nothing we can do.." made me wonder if there is going to turn out to be something they can do....
But I hope not. Because the massacre at Thames House was such a defining moment of this show, that I hope it continues.
The preview for tomorrow just.... well I've watched it a couple of times, and I can't even figure out anything that will happen...
Everything is on the table.. and kudos to the Torchwood team for that.
9 out of 10. Easily.
Looking forward to tomorrow....
