more Torchwood

So I skipped episode 2, and watched episode 3 at lunch, which is The One With Gareth In. Quite apart from my usual drooling fangirl "it's got Gareth in, of course it's good" tendencies, I liked it. In fact, I'd have liked it even without the ever-so-subtle fanservice scene in the shooting gallery. It's got my favourite actor, and it's got pretty boys, and it's even got an entertaining story (I'll do without "plausible" so long as it's entertaining). All in one episode. If there are a few decent episodes I can live with the occasional rubbish one. As Chris Boucher said at a panel some years back, with the time pressure on making a series you'll always get one or two dud episodes each season.

I don't know whether it says something about Torchwood or about my own increasingly fallible memory but, though I know thast I saw that episode, I can no longer remember anything at all about it.

It may well be both. However, I have just been having the "if I say three times in rapid succession, 'shut up I don't want to know', that means 'I really, truly, don't want to know', not 'please keep on telling me lots of spoilers'" conversation with someone who insists on telling me the plot of a later episode, so I will refrain from spoilering in my own LJ. :-)

Well, as I'm a commenter with amnesia, you're perfectly safe from spoilers from me. :)
