Torchwood Episode Three: “Ghost Machine”
By stephanie - Thursday, November 16th, 2006
In this episode, the Torchwood crew finds a device that displays echoes or ghosts of the past. (This episode features Gareth Thomas, aka Roj Blake, of Blake’s Seven.)
The series does seem to be centering on Gwen instead of Captain Jack (perhaps because he’s bigger than life?) but so far it’s working OK. This particular plot is a little more thoughtful, and we get to see Owen fleshed out as a very human, compassionate character. Gwen and Captain Jack have a very sexy scene in the shooting range as well – one of the highlights.
An interesting side note: I’ve seen a few folks complain about the soundtrack, saying the music is overbearing and distracting. I had not even noticed the music, so I suppose my American ears have been blunted by our loud media here.
