the Weevils and their newly-appointed King

Oh I wonder who that is... ;)

Maybe it's Weevil, on loan from Veronica Mars.

(Kidding!)

Annoyingly I was out buying a PS3 and forgot to series link (season pass?) this new "week ahead" showing. Guess I'll have to download it (legally! Thank heavens for BBC's iPlayer) and watch it on the computer :(

[Randy G.]

I was wondering where you were. :lol:

----- Added 3 Hours and 21 Minutes later -----

Just watched this episode, and..... Wow! Excellent special effects, great camera angles, and very well written. Owen's black eyes, & that voice, and "Death" was spooky. Several times I was on the edge of my seat. I was nervous, & I think I actually jumped when they were looking for the runaway glove, and it jumped up over the rail, and onto Martha's face. Great age progression on Martha as well. I also liked seeing Jack tip-toeing through the sleeping weevils. Lol!
This episode gets 5+ stars from me. I don't see how they're going to top it next week. :cool:

Thought it was good for sure. Loved when Jack and Owen were in the cell together, and yeah Owen was really freaky with those black eyes :eek: Forgot to add, i love the slight humor in all the episodes..Ianto play its of well. It was pretty humorous the look that Jack gave Ianto when he came in with a field hockey stick :lol:

[Randy G.]

Oh, I almost forgot! That was also funny to see Jack's reaction,
when Owen was projectile vomiting in the cell, then started farting. :eek: :rotfl:

Finally got to see it tonight, found it a bit meh compared to last week's episode. So a 3 for me.

You need to watch BBC 3, i'm always a week ahead and never post here as not to spoil people.

[TMLS]

We always have a thread on here at BBC3 pace - that's how this one started out, you were the first to post on it following its BBC2 showing! This is the first week we haven't had one before the episode even aired - I didn't get to see it last night due to being on the PS3 (Dirt is the best game ever!) so I haven't made it and obviously Randy hasn't had chance to make it either. If you want to discuss it feel free to make the thread, though please make it in the same way to keep it consistent. Subject to include the episode number and title, and a poll with marks out of five so we can compare them all at the end of the season. :)

I got to see this last night and it was ok but not the best. I am NOT fond of Owen at all, so any ep that centers around him automatically drops a bit for me.

I don't know how to feel about the other glove being found. I mean, we know that RTD said that he wanted it (when he talks about "They Keep Killing Suzie" and the line about gloves coming in pairs, he mentions we'll likely see the other glove at some point. I just didn't expect it to be so soon!) and all. But how did Jack know it was there (and who was the little girl at the club?)? And if he knew it was there all along why did he only go to get it now? I don't know, there seemed to be plotholes in this.

Loved Tosh's line "Are we seriously going to act on something she Googled?!" :rotfl:

And Martha...she seemed superfluous here.

Dunno, this just seemed like a filler episode and a gimmick to get Owen back.

So I voted it was just average, for me.
