Series 1 How to cope with Cyberwoman

42 Upvotes

Hello everyone! As a long time dr who fan I've finally decided to watch Torchwood. I've only finished ep. 4 (Cyberwoman), and sure it's not the strongest episode (and the costume choice is.... interesting...)...... but that scene at the end with Ianto and the pizza-girl-turned-Lisa... I'm a little emotionally destroyed rn.

Can someone pls offer any form of emotional consolation? Anything to help recover from that scene? Thank you :,-)

What a great episode man,I liked Suzie so much,it really sucks they killed her off so quick and now that she was here,she's gone again,enjoying Series 1 quite a lot.

I really think she deserved to be brought back for real but oh well.

Series 1 Who Keeps Killing Suzie is great television! Spoiler

53 Upvotes

I don’t know how active this subreddit is, but I’m currently watching all of Torchwood for the first time and, as you might’ve guessed by the title, I just finished watching Who Keeps Killing Suzie, and I love it!

So far the season has gone up and down in quality in my opinion, some episodes are better than others (Ghost Machine is another example of an episode I liked, and even Cyberwoman was better than its reputation in my opinion) but I have to say, Who Keeps Killing Suzie is my favorite episode so far. The theme about death and what happens after is just so dark and honestly is where the show is at its best: it’s a show that’s targeting an adult audience and thus is allowed to cover darker themes and darker stories (Countrycide is another example of a dark and disturbing episode that’s great television) and the pacing of Who Keeps Killing Suzie is great, and the acting is also great! But something that I think it should do better is that, from what I remember, Jack didn’t seem to show any resistance when it comes to killing her, he just straight up said that he’ll kill her, which I think is weird since even though she planned all of this, she was still their colleague.

But overall, great story.

Oh, and while I’m here, could be a common question, but where should I start listening to the Big Finish stuff, when I eventually finish with the show? At the beginning, way back in 2015? Or somewhere else?

Series 1 I love Gwen

55 Upvotes

I finally got into Torchwood after years of being a dw fan and I’ve seen A LOT of Gwen hate, which I sorta understand but also not at all. Like yes she can be a bit self centered but I also think that her and Jack are duo-protagonists. Of course she’s going to think everything is about her because it is! The series starts with Gwen’s intro to Torchwood and Rtd wrote the role of Gwen specifically for the actor who plays her. I think she’s a great protagonist who struggles with a new world and is a bit selfish but that doesn’t make her bad. Just realistic! I think a lot of ppl hate her cuz they see her as a rival of Iantos for some reason which I don’t think they should. Jack chose Ianto and Gwen chose Rhys and never once was there animosity depicted between Gwen and Ianto. Another reason I’ve seen is when she retconned Rhys because of her affair with Owen-which is a great example of a mc who is flawed and makes mistakes, also in the first episode Owen uses some alien mist to make himself irresistible that is also morally grey. Same with alllll the characters of Torchwood

Series 1 Rewatching for the first time in years and…

139 Upvotes

Man, Gwen is such a deeply shitty person. I know they were writing all the mains as flawed in some way, but she is just absolute trash to Rhys. He deserves so much better than her.

Separarely, “outside the government, beyond the police” comes across as so cringe 2000s edgy. There are no cops — anywhere, ever — who are just going to give up their crime scene to a bunch of random civilians with no official standing.

What’s really odd though is how wildly inconsistent the writing is in these early days. For every gross and poor creative decision, there’s a Small Worlds or an Out of Time. Episodes that are still absolute bangers all these years later.

It’s an interesting retrospective to say the least.

She:

Cheats on her boyfriend

At the beginning of the episode, I noticed a pair of glasses hanging off of Jack's lamp. I recognized them, and they're the Spy Kids 3-D glasses. Most likely the ones that came with the DVD. Nothing crazy, but it was funny to see.

Series 1 Plot hole? Spoiler

17 Upvotes

In season one when the whole torchwood 3 team sees jack resurrect they're all shocked because they didn't know he was immortal. At this point owen and tosh (susie as well before she died) had been with the team for a few years, did jack just have a good luck streak? Considering how often he dies it's pretty strange they didn't know sooner.

Can anyone upscale/increase the resolution on this? I'm trying to make a canvas print of it for my kid. They almost died when they saw it for a split second in an episode and it's become a "thing" in our house. This is the only image I have been able to find of it and the resolution is too low to get a good print. Please HELP!!!!

Series 1 i need MORE Suzie Costello!

37 Upvotes

from the beginning of me watching Torchwood, i was always SO intrigued in Suzie Costello! brought to life beautifully by Indira Varma, there was so much mystery and complexity behind her in her 2 TV appearances

a bit of a sarcastic Loner character with an addictive personality and an obsession with Resurrection. i wouldve loved to see why she was recruited, and explore her world outside of Torchwood

Any Recommendations for expanded media stories that flesh her out more? i’ve got Big Finish’s “Moving Target” in my cart rn

Series 1 Cyberwoman Spoiler

I'd imagine it's just a continuity error but on the off chance I'm misunderstanding Jack's immorality...

Towards the end of the episode Ianto punches Jack... blah blah blah cyberwoman. A lengthy amount of time post punch, possibly even a day or two later just before the episode finishes Gwen & Jack discuss Ianto and whether he'll remain on the team. Jack has a scabby, healing wound on his lip. Should that not have immediately healed? Like when he gets shot in the head he's basically Wolverine.
