Torchwood's big first series finale, I definitely appreciate it a little more in idea than execution. I love the ties to the Beast from the Satan Pit and Impossible Planet. It feels much closer to what I sort of expected going into Torchwood as a spin-off of Doctor Who, and it is something I feel the television series very rarely achieved.

So I have a bit of a soft spot for End of Days, even if it is a little uneven and filled with over-the-top drama and acting. It's *enough* fun - just enough to be an easy watch, easy to get through, and put at least a decent bow on the very inconsistent first season of Torchwood. I also like how this is a direct consequence of the previous episode. It feels good to have our heroes not able to resolve the last problem without their being consequences of a larger villainous plan going on, that stuff and the appearance of Bilis is pretty interesting. On the other hand, Owen's troubles and the stuff with Rhys feels way overplayed and drags this story down a bit. Still, it is at least worth watching and has some cool ideas.
