Torchwood S02E03-To The Last Man

It's that time of the year again for Torchwood. That time of the year when they must once again thaw out a WWI soldier named Tommy. That time of the year they must wait for 24 hours to see if Tommy's mission to save two time periods has come. That time of the year when Toshiko fears that very day and the end of her romance with Tommy will end. Unfortunantley, that time has come. It's time for Tommy to save the world...and say his final farewell to the woman he loves.

While not as exciting as the first two installments of Season 2, this episode was still pretty heartbreaking. It was nice to see Tosh in the spotlight again (looking hotter than usual for her day with Tommy). It does suck though that she has such terrible luck with romance, a Torchwood constant. First, it's a life draining lesbian, now it's a WWI soldier who, once his mission is done, she will never see again. Is love a curse for this team? On a side note, Tosh/Owen shippers will love the small yet tender interactions they have in this episode. Perhaps they will find comfort in each other eventually, but then again, that's still a ways off I'm sure.

Next week looks pretty exciting though. It will be cool to see how they bring Rhys into Gwen's world and how her revealing her secret life will affect their own.

Rating-7/10
