Torchwood’s new series has definitely found itself on stronger ground. Whereas series one had more than a fair amount of shaky episodes (Sex Fogs? Never again!) series two has managed to produce a good run so far. Particularly, the characters are a lot strong this time around, and significantly more sympathetic.

Even Owen, which I think is something of a miracle; he is something of a wiz with a chemical set, though.

Last night’s episode, Meat, dealt with the team investigating the source of extra-terrestrial food entering into the Welsh food chain (which would probably only be beneficial). I think the X-Files and the Fantastic Four both had this same plotline, but handled quite differently.

Overall, the season is improving. I wonder how much of it is a need to reduce the sophmoric sexuality to a minimum in order to keep the pre-watershed edition from being 8 minutes long.
