confessions of a guilty writer
Kim Rees - Kim Knox
I live on an ancient boundary line, once marked by a Neolithic burial tomb. The tomb’s now a standing stone circle–thank the Georgians for that one–and stirs my mind with thoughts of history and ancient myths.
I mix the essence of the past into fantasy, along with the essential mix of magic and sex. I also write science fiction romance, pushing out into the far future with effortlessly sexy men and the women who can’t resist them.
I'm published with Carina Press, Ellora's Cave, Samhain Publishing, Liquid Silver Publishing and Loose Id.

I know I missed half of it, but that last scene still leaves me shuddering. Most horrific end to any of the episodes so far ;-)
LMAO
Yup!
Its an old SF/Horror trope. The twist being that its all humans after all no aliens/monsters!
Left me a bit cold I'm afraid to say. Didn't affect me. Didn't build up the tension well. Didn't explain how the villagers went from ninja assassins to regular defeatable people. The policeman twist was just obvious. I can't name an episode but I'd bet there was an X-File that did it better and there are novels and films that have played it out better too. They may be able to get away with that because a lot of the audience wont have come across this twist before.
Reinforced my feeling that the Torchwood team need a few weeks at a good training camp. They have cool gear and knowledge but they need some tradecraft to back it up.
Sorry to be so down on it because I like a lot about Torchwood but I'm begining to wonder where the weakness is in production. I can't decide if the scripts are weak, the budget too small, the schedule too tight or what.
