Torchwood - New series - Good ?

I liked it as I did last season, its sci-fi without being geeky. Its gritty and fast paced, but plenty of character development. My only negative point is too many gratuitous references (a RTD speciality) Other than that I find it very appealing and the idea of a pre-watershed edit is great news for younger doctor who fans who would like to see more of Captain Jack. But with regard to last nights episode in particular, it was a good start to the series. James Marsters was brilliant, I thought Eve Myles was excellent like last series and find her character fascinating. They tied up the link with Doctor Who nicely and will give a nice story arc for this series, you can see that the team want answers to a lot of questions about Jack. And a blow-fish driving a sports car was a brilliant piece of comic relief - "Bloody Torchwood!." Overall I would give it 8/10, would have given it more had it not been for Mr RTD pushing his uality on to the rest of us.
