Add content advisory. Did you know Edit. Trivia By the end of this episode Jack is over years old. Goofs Jack Harkness is not Captain Jack's real name, as we all know; as he's from the Boshane Peninsula in the 54th century; his real name has yet to be revealed. Quotes Owen Harper : I'm gonna rage my way to oblivion! User reviews 5 Review. Top review. Season 2: Solid sci-fi that improves greatly on season 1 without itself being brilliant. Torchwood was infuriating in its first season.
The story of the shadowy group investigating and controlling the alien presence on earth was clearly meant to be a Dr Who spin-off for adults but for some reason it decided that adults wanted to see lots of girl-on-girl kissing and sexual playfulness.
Anyway, while not completely removing this aspect of it, the writers seem to have realised this and as a result season two is a more assured affair.
The stories are better and, within these the characters also stand-up as more interesting and engaging. I particularly liked the themes that the stories explored as these are what makes it more interesting than just a simple sci-fi about aliens and guns.
This is not to say that it is brilliant of course, because it is not. We do still have a touch of silliness about the whole thing, with perhaps a bit too many Eastenders scenarios for my liking across any specific story. That said it is darker and more interesting than season one, with death, loss, love and other themes handled pretty well. The cast are given more to work with as a result and they respond by mostly improving their performances. It is the rest of the cast that improve through.
Myles is less annoying than before although I still found her grating at her worst. David-Lloyd is better but still not great while Owen has more to do and adds the fresh eyes that usually helps this type of thing.
Mari Lwyd. White as moonlight. Rattle-bagged and broken backed. Steed of winter who the pale men carry. Slow and ceaseless, yard by yard, house by house, and door by door. The Mari Lwyd is a fine Welsh Christmas Tradition - the skeleton of a horse roams the streets, begging to be let in for food and warmth. Once she knocks, only the most cunning can send her away.
Ianto Jones has come to a remote village for a quiet Christmas. But the Mari Lwyd has come knocking. In addition to being sadistic and vengeful, Gray was ruthless and showed no remorse for committing murder, shooting Toshiko Sato and fatally wounding her.
Gray was horrifically unforgiving, refusing to give Jack absolution even after his brother had forgiven him for all the horrendous crimes he had committed. He claimed that, after everything the aliens put him through, his hatred for Jack was the only strength he had left, clearly implying that without it, he would be nothing. In the end, Gray just wanted Jack to understand the pain he had gone through. Tardis Explore. Main episode list Classmates.
