setraBit of a babbling review here, probably nothing very spoilerific, but under a cut just for safety.
Short Opinion: The whole American accents thing is very odd.
The idea is very interesting. And disturbing. In a way I don't entirely want to process at the moment.
Very glad to see Andy investigating along with Gwen too. "Reclaiming Camelot" made me think of it and it makes a bit of sense to me.
Jack not healing is possibly the scariest part of this whole mess.
I feel... a bit like I feel when there are Americans in a Japanese drama. Like this is the UK version of the times when Japan goes "this place is big and mean, it must be America!". Only the British version is "There are guns and the death penalty! Also, people talk a lot and there is a bunch of government intervention that actually helps nothing!"
I'm pretty sure the CIA room is the same room that they used for UNIT HQ in the end of DW Series 4... but moving on.
Interesting for sure. I just hope it starts feeling a little more natural, because right now.... the dialogue and setting is rather awkward. I know that I'm more socially conscious about culture differences than most of the US, but I can't be the only person feeling this.
Anyway, glad to see Torchwood back and definitely curious to see more. And at least it /feels/ a bit like Torchwood.
Also also, my computer made it through the whole episode without freezing up on the video, so that is /very/ exciting. ^_^
