katikatThis was the "Owen-episode", a nice - but creepy - insight into his character. Creepy! Though I really liked the suicide-attemptee...
You know, TW is really chilling. Not their cases or the special effects - I'm talking about the show's vision of afterlife. There is no hope, just more horror and darkness. Just thinking about it gives me the creeps.
And I was idly browsing Amazon UK and when I stumbled across this TW tie-in, "The House That Jack Built" by Guy Adams. I really like the synopsis: Jackson Leaves: an Edwardian house in Penylen, built in 1906, semi-detached, three storeys, spacious, beautifully presented, and left in good condition to Rob and Julia by Rob's late aunt. It's an ordinary sort of a house... except for the way the rooms don't stay in the same places. And the strange man that turns up in the airing cupboard. And the apparitions. And the temporal surges that attract the attentions of Torchwood. And the fact that the first owner of Jackson Leaves in 1906 was a Captain Jack Harkness...
