Torchwood 1x06 - "Countrycide"
 

Plot Summary
Concerned that the space-time rift is spreading, Torchwood investigate a series of gruesome deaths in the Brecon Beacons village of Brynblaidd. What sort of creature could cause such shocking injuries? Stranded without communications or equipment and isolated from one another, the team confront a terrifying enemy.

this one was better than last weeks, so fantastic would fit well...it's hard to vote as if you vote for one with good, very good, great etc, then next episode could be better but you could still want to vote as the same level as the last episode. It's harder than it looks

I gave it a 7/10. I enjoyed it, but some of the language was a bit overly colorful for my tastes, like when Owen had Gwen up against the tree... Still, overall enjoyable episode, even if it was just a bunch of silly humans behind it all. But the scene where Jack came in and utterly destroyed and obliterated everything was quite awesome.

Wasn't too bad I suppose. Im glad we finally ended up with a non alien cause, because strictly Torchwood isnt supposed to be pure unadulterated Sci Fi. Gwen shagging Owen right enough, I knew it as soon as I saw her by that window, but it was rather unexpected.

Also... the name of the episode, does anyone have any ideas as to the reasoning behind the spelling?

By the preview of next weeks ep, I see there's some more girl on girl stuff. :D

As someone said on OG, the timing was right for it, which makes sense to me. This was the first thing she couldn't handle -- she couldn't understand.

Sure! Suicide --> Homicide --> Genocide --> Countrycide! :P

*sigh* Silly Ross. :P

Thanks for clearing that up, Danny.
Muahahahaaa. Also, it's a double whammy cause you get to see Tosh in action aswell. :)

Sure. It's actually kind of clever when you think about it. ;)

LOL. Yes, okay, I'll admit part of me is looking forward to it, but that's all you get. :P

LOL Muahahaaa I got something at least. At least now there's a reasonable guarantee that there will be 'action' every week now that Gwen and Owen are... you know. :D

LOL! Oh, Ross. Oh, Ross, Ross, Ross... :P

I don't think he's the only one looking forward to next weeks episode...Torchwood is now a big part of my Sunday schedule.

Mine too, except I usually end up seeing it some time around midnight or 1:00 in the morning!

Thanks for the warning guys, I will certinatley Not be watching next weeks episode.

Why no it'll be great but also quite can anyone tell me what the girl on the trailer has been in before I'm sure i've seen on telly before.

Why's that? The girl on girl action? Doesn't look like it'll be much, and the episode itself actually looks reasonably good.

Are you kidding? Try watching the preview more slowly. It does look like it'll be much. :)

But yeah, looks good next week.

LMAO. Okay, I hadn't noticed. I'll check again for you.

What a great episode - probably the best of the lot so far. 9/10.

I see MI7 doesn't think much of it. :confused:

I really disliked it yes. The other episodes had me hooked but with this I had urges to turn over and watch something else. The plot was really random and Jack jumping in at the end and capping those foo' s like Tony Montana seemed a bit contrived.

Just my honest opinion, sorry. I expect some science fiction in my Sci-Fi shows :P. It felt more like The League of Gentlemen.

I do agree that it felt notably sci-fi-less. My initial reaction was just "what?! it's just a bunch of humans! what the hell is Torchwood doing there?" However Jack jumping in and kicking everyone's ass was highly enjoyable, you must admit. :P

Oh yeah it was enjoyable, just sort of deux ex :P. I have to edit in some Scarface quotes to that scene I think.

Harrumph. . .

well, if you think about it, their job is to investigate possible alien threats...that was a possible alien threat was it not?

It doesn't really matter to me... MI7 said it best when he said he wants science fiction in his sci-fi. I feel the same.

Uh, as I recall it said in the description that this show isn't total Sci-Fi. I thought it was a welcome change from doomsday aliens.

Well that sucks. I don't want a non-sci-fi Doctor Who spinoff!

So I guess it's "Crime" as well though Sci-Fi is still the primary genre and the most common thing it's listed under :P. If I wanted a story like this weeks I would watch The Texas Chainsaw Massacre or The Hills Have Eyes, not Torchwood.

Thank you very much, MI7! See, Ross, it is considered both science fiction and crime drama, which means it should have both and not just one of them!

Over a series, not one programme...when aliens kill, it can't be considered a crime because they're alien.....they don't live by our laws.

Hush you. :P

Ive just put that all together so I can say I pwned Danny. :P

You can say that as much as you want. It doesn't make it true. :P

what does pwned actually mean anyway

I dont quite know actually lol. Just beaten or something I think.

I thought it must have been something like that, it's not to bad, I could be one of the people that think lol means "Lots of Love" (like my mum), but I'm not...Lol (laugh out loud):P

"Pwned" is the "l33t" form of "owned."

ah...huh? What does that mean in that sense of the word?

Owned. Means you had your ass thoroughly kicked. :P

ah, I SEE. Thanks, I thought it must have been something like that
