So, you know, first just to indulge my obsession, we actually got someone saying something in Welsh zomg! When Gwen gets off the helicopter, PC Andy says, "Croeso i Gymru," which, if you're curious, means "Welcome to Wales." From the way he said it, Andy's not a fluent speaker, but it's one of those phrases most people here know and recognise. I liked it, it was a nice touch.
Now, on to the actual series.
( It's like they're suddenly pretending the first two seasons were as weird as I thought they were... )
( In fact, I think I would have liked this a lot if I'd never seen the first two seasons. )
( But what of the fallout?! )
( Torchwood vs BSG, the obligatory finale comparison: for the record, I think they're opposites. )
Yeah. Maybe that's it. This should have been the start of an apocalypse. And it wasn't. So it just comes off as unendingly dark for the sake of it. A few beautiful moments in there, and when I think about it as a standalone, a surprisingly good story from this creative team, but ultimately, I find myself thinking, if this wasn't really the start of the end of everything, then what was the point?
