That said I wasn't prepared to give up on it straight away. Episode 2 felt much stronger. That's not to say things are back completely on track but I'd say it was several steps in the right direction.
Oswald Danes is creepy as hell. Everytime I see Bill Pullman on the screen I have to reach for my cushion to hide behind he creeps me out completely. You can see his character suffering from being constantly poisoned and his logic is beyond reason yet you get why he reaches some of his conclusions.
It was ace to see Dichen Lachman as an evil CIA agent and her faceoff with Gwen is awesome. I loved the not gay air steward.
I like that Jack has got to get used to a new set of circumstances and that Gwen is very much the dynamic protector.
I'm still not keen on Rex at all but Esther is kind of sweet. They feel like Tosh and Owen mk II respectively but I'm not convinced.
Lauren Ambrose as Jilly is great, she seems to be everywhere and she seems to be in on things.
For that matter, I was left speculating as to how much does Oswald know, I think its more than we currently think we do, also Jilly, she has to know more.
So overall a big improvement, but still nowhere near as good as Torchwood at its very best.
