The fifth Torchwood episode, Small Worlds, bored me. With Doctor Who (and spin-offs), I want sci-fi. Not supernatural silliness. It annoys me a great deal that almost half the episodes are some kind of ghost stories. I think it's undermining the show's sci-fi status, and I don't even think it's honoring the style of the older Doctor Who serials. They tended to alternate between sci-fi stories and more
The fifth Torchwood episode, Small Worlds, bored me. With Doctor Who (and spin-offs), I want sci-fi. Not supernatural silliness. It annoys me a great deal that almost half the episodes are some kind of ghost stories. I think it's undermining the show's sci-fi status, and I don't even think it's honoring the style of the older Doctor Who serials. They tended to alternate between sci-fi stories and historical time-travel adventures. Not all this supernatural fluff. I don't like it, and I found this episode hard to sit through.I did like one thing, though: the use of a couple of Celtic folk tunes. During the wind-storm on the playground, wasn't that the Lord of the Dance theme? And the lyrics from Stolen Child that finished the episode ("The world's more full of weeping than she can understand") - that was a nice touch.Still, an average episode at best. 5 out of 10.
