Episode 4 is a strange episode but strange in a good way. Written by Catherine Tregenna who penned two previous episodes from series 1. The story was about Rhys who is a character that had been portrayed as a clown and silly figure who was only popped up to make Gwen seem the most normal of the Torchwood crew. After 16 epsiodes they managed to make the Rhys character the exact opposite of what he is perceived and that was done by throwing him into the middle of the story. The story itself would have been average had it not been for the Rhys element. I liked the idea that there was this group that were selling alien meat because they had captured this alien that didn’t seem to be intent on world domination or anything but just had the misfortune of been in the wrong place at the wrong time.
There were several moments that I thought were particularly interesting. The first was the moment when Rhys went into the Hub. Instead of taking him through the boring entrance Gwen took him down on that pavement slab that Gwen went up with Jack in 1.1 – Everything Changes. The monster itself was well created, the CGI used was some of the best that I have seen for a monster that I have seen in Torchwood and the end bit where Jack and co are infront of it after it died was quite impressive. Speaking of the monster the moment when Owen had killed it I found the moment rather sad as Jack showed on screen.
The fact that Gwen didn’t give Rhys the amnesia drug indicates that he is likely to play a bigger role in the series which is a good thing. Had this story happened in Series 1 then it might not have worked but as its come this year when we are ready to accept Rhys it works and works very well. Great story, Great acting and it maintains the high standard that the series has created so far. Very Entertaining
