And so it comes to this. The final episode of Torchwood - and what an episode it was.
There's only one word to describe this episode, and that's 'epic'. It has everything! Action, character moments, memorable speeches and plenty of twists and turns.
Gwen has two killer speeches in this episode alone (one about her Dad and the other about death returning), and Jack has one that would be worthy of the Doctor regarding humanity's progress in the future.
That twist regarding Rex transfusing himself with Jack's blood was ingenious! What a clever idea. And the pay-off at the end where it turns out he is immortal is so clever. It feels earned, because this series does such a great job at establishing just how unique Jack's blood is.
Such a shame that the teases at the end for future series never went anywhere. A bit similar to Class in that regard. I would have loved to have seen what they'd have done Post-Miracle Day, although I know Big Finish have kind of made their own continuations on audio.
