Review of Flotsam and Jetsam by 15thDoctor
Ianto vs. The Giant Octopus is my personal title for this story. I was really impressed by Kate Orman’s writing. Taking Torchwood into an unfamiliar environment, making it feel fresh and new, rather than retreading well know story beats. It’s a shame more women didn’t write for Torchwood (I love Random Shoes).
The cheeky jokes work so well when pressed against grounded and novel ideas.
I probably wouldn’t have made the monsters able to communicate with the Torchwood team so directly. I also felt it wrapped up pretty quickly.
But honestly, I mostly just felt grateful that there was a Torchwood Magazine in 2009 paying talented people to write such exciting fiction, written at pace with tonnes of typos. It led to this fresh and exciting piece.
