I've just watched the second Torchwood episode and I loved it. Alright a relatively spoiler free summary and my opinion are following. Don't read when you don't want to know what happens.
Summary:
Torchwood is reunited but Rex arrests them and puts them on a plane to America. Rhys stays behind with his and Gwen's daughter. On the plane another FBI agent tries to murder Jack, who is the only mortal human on the planet now, with arsenic and Gwen tries to help him together with Rex and Dr. Juarez. Meanwhile the situation in the hospitals get worse and specialists get together to find a solution for the problems they are facing. It seems like someone in the FBI wants to get rid of Rex and Esther.
I think it was a really great episode but sometimes I have problems to understand Bill Pullman's character Oswald Danes but that's probably just a problem I have. The episode had some really nice Jack and Gwen moments and you can say what you want, John Barrowman has a nice smile. I thought it was really fun to watch how Gwen mixed the medicine for Jack and then her "I am Welsh" comment. Great. Rex and Esther start to fit in better now. The story behind all this is still very unclear and all the medical problems which are following because of this immortality are huge. Well, I guess we will find out soon enough what is all behind this.
There are a lot of people who whine about Torchwood being too americanized but I think we should all be happy that there is another series of Torchwood. Don't watch it when you don't like it. It's that easy.
Here is the link if you want to watch the episode online.
