On the down side, it's EVERYONE'S FAVORITE TORCHWOOD EPISODE!! On the plus side, Jack looks quite lovely on this cover.
Captain Jack Harkness is dead, and that’s the simplest thing that’s happened to him in the last few days. Even the manner of his death is surprisingly complex, especially when it turns out that he hasn’t come back alone.
While Torchwood try and cope with a new mayor and a terrorist cell, they also have to deal with what, at first, looks to be a plague, and then turns out to be something far, far worse.
Tropes
- Crack Ship: In-universe, this episode is pretty much the only way that Jack and Gwen could have a thing.
- Hotter and Sexier: Yes.
- Squick: The episode.
-
Broken Base: If you can't tell from the numerous YMMV examples, this is a very divisive episode, as it exemplifies many of the problems found in previously disliked episode Day One - Fan Disservice: Mostly rape. Lots of it.
