You missed my point there, I think, Fatburt.

Tonight's (both of them) were interesting episodes. Intrigued by the identity of the creatures that invaded Jack's home in his childhood, and the whole memory altering thing.

Next week's was awesome. Great to see Martha come back and shock at what happened to Owen.

Not half as intrigued as RTD who probably left the identity of the monsters vague so that he can slot them into a future episode of DW/Torchwood when he needs to. He's making it up as he goes along....

Possibly. I always had a feeling it might be the Daleks. Jack had known about them before meeting the Doctor (Parting of Ways), and called them, "the most dangerous species in the universe". Calling the aliens, "the most horrible things you could think of" sounds Daleky to me.

Against that however, is the lack of hatred for the Daleks that Jack would show towards them had they killed his little brother.

Will be interesting to see if they can come up with a flawed and convenient way to bring Owen back to life.

I also had a suspision that the monsters would also be Daleks, but the way they were described and the way people reacted to them it didn't sound as if they were.

I swear I heard roaring and I think there were some shadows.

Also, no-one had the typical Death Ray Skeleton-Showing demise that would be present were the Daleks on the rampage.

I'm hoping it's not Daleks.

Well, I'm not sure they can come up with something any better. The great space dustbins are iconic emotionless geonocide machines with great firpower and armour.
I'd quite like to see them lay waste to a planet, especially as it would give an idea as to what the Time War was like.



But it will be interesting to see what the aliens are like and what they do. It does seem unlikely they are Daleks. I think Davies will not overlap the two shows that much.

Depends on whether or not Davies would show them again. If they appear, then they'll be original (no Daleks in Torchwood). If they don't, it could be that they are Daleks, seeing as we saw nobody being killed, just their bodies lying on the beach in the aftermath.

His line in The Parting of Ways when he said they were the "most dangerous species in the universe and then they just disappeared" is the biggest sign for me. He'd obviously encountered/had common knowledge of them at sometime in his past.

We don't know how long the Daleks were a superpower in the universe, or at what time they started their missions of conquest.
And we don't know what time period (or periods) the Time War occurred at.

I was very vocal about how cruddy I thought series one was. saying that, series 2 has seriously turned it up to 11. This series so far is better than series 3 of Doctor who. The episode "ADAM" and "LAST MAN STANDING" were "Buffy" quality. good stuff. (very suprised, myself)

I agree this series is a vast improvement.
