Torchwood 8 and 9
Wow. They're actually starting to get better, finally.
ep 8 "They Keep Killing Suzie" - I rather liked this one, as it changed my sympathy for Suzie back and forth a bit. :D I never forgot that she'd killed a bunch of people to test the glove, but I had to remind myself a bit about it, and it gave two plausible reasons besides her just being a psychopath - the first being that she was obsessed with saving her dying father, and then after that was disproved, because she was obsessed with saving *herself*. The quest for immortality is a long and venerable tradition. :D
And "There's something moving in the dark" is a line that I find nicely creepy.
ep 9 "Random Shoes" - I liked this one, too. We didn't get any real characterization for the Torchwood people, but they were just being used as a vehicle for the story about Eugene and his life being revealed as made possible by the alien artifact and that's an approach I like.
Both of the episodes had a couple of logical leaps here and there made by the characters, but the rest of the story was interesting enough that I wasn't derailed.
