not enough people are torchwood fans in 2023. like, if this shit was airing now instead of like sixteen years ago then tumblr gays would be eating this shit up. if the big finish stuff was more easily available, people would probably also be eating it up. janto and jyler would be a ship war (a heavily to one side ship war, but a ship war nonetheless). the colchester-price fans would be happily eating popcorn at the side. everyone would be an orr and tosh fan. gwen and yvonne would be tumblr sexywomen. there'd be people picking out everything burn gorman has ever been in. there would be essays about why ng should/shouldn't be hated. andy davidson would still be lurking in the background. myfanwy would have more canon appearances.

my opinions on some torchwood characters

[blufruity]

TORCHWOOD. Above the law, beyond the police. Here's Mr. Colchester and Tyler Steele from the continued series over at Big Finish! Who else is a fan? I can't get enough of these stories!

[john-bracket]

Brief descriptions of canon relationships with Jack:

Ianto: Gets asked on a date by Jack in the beginning of s2, they date until Ianto dies in Jack’s arms after confessing his love to Jack

Tyler: Had a sexual relationship with Jack that lasted for a while, fucked him in a morgue once

[qventus]

When I see the new team I'm like

1. Who the fuck are they bring me back Tosh, Owen and Ianto that's not my show !!!

2. OMGGGG THAT'S SO COOL TO SEE THE TEAM CHANGING THROUGH TIME

Rani Takes on the World : Beyond Bannerman Road (1)

After watching the minisode from 2020 called Farewell Sarah Jane, you can't help but think you want to see all these characters back. Lucky for me, when I saw it, this boxset had just come out, and I have to say I was impressed.

Every story is different and better than the last, the characters' evolution is perfectly managed considering the big gap between the TV show and the events from these three stories. It really has the ambition to be a true successor to the Sarah Jane Adventures by putting Rani as the front woman and working on very qualitative scripts.

I honestly cannot wait for the next one to come out and I sincerely hope it catches up on the high expectations this boxset helped build within me.

Here is a story by story review, beware some spoilers here and there, even though I made my best to make it spoiler free.

Here Today

I only have one word for this one: wow. First of all, the time loop is well executed and the urgence of the situation is very well conveyed by the twists, the characters and the music.

I can't not mention the jaw-dropping scene at the end of the first time loop. Absolutely chilling. You have to listen to it to understand how much of a shock it is.

You don't have a second to yourself when listening to this one, the story just takes you and you have to get along.

Destination: Wedding

I'm not gonna lie, it was kind of hard for me to get into this one at first but in the end I loved it so much more than the pilot! You can easily guess the solution to the mystery but never without a doubt.

Gita is just the perfect comic character, every single sentence of her is an instant punchline, and she's also got a lot of heart.

Rani seems to be kind of in a young adult life crisis, because once again she's comparing herself to her same aged peers, even more so in this one with the pressure of her mother onto her. These are themes that resonated with me a lot since I am approximately the same age as Rani is supposed to be in this and I actually am going through all of this.

Also, I wasn't sure I understood it correctly in the first story but now it's clear: Phoenix is a non-binary person! Yay! And they're dating Clyde, a major character!

In the end this one was pretty enjoyable even though it had a lot less action and tension than the one before, but the character work and the mysterious plot make it an absolute banger!

The Withching Tree

Wow, this one was definitely my favourite! So chilling! I started listening to it during a night road trip and it was really frightening!

The plot twist is really surprising and every new happening is a shock.

I really liked that this episode was kind of an episode of Rani's podcast, I hope they do that on the second series as well.

It was very well orchestrated to make the tension build up to the great reveal, which is so satisfying to listen to. Honestly a great piece of drama.

This is the first time I had heard about Tyler Steele because I didn't listen to any of the Torchwood stuff, so at first I was like "Who does he think he is? Why is he so ok with aliens?" but then I looked him up and it made a lot more sense.

I also loved that the Blue Box Files were being mentioned since I'm also currently listening to Doctor Who Redacted so it was a really nice touch from Big Finish to make Rani and Samira talk about them!

Tyler's trip

*muffled club music, snogging sounds, Tyler and his dealer talking* *door being opened* Colchester: I beg your pardon? Tyler: Whaa-? [dealer]: Is there a problem? Colchester: *angry* I should coco. [dealer]: Don't like gays? Colchester: Let's just say, if I had the two of you together, I'm not getting a 10. And Tyler's an 8. Tyler: *slightly confused voice* Ah... thank you. *sounds of a struggle, likely Colchester manhandling the dealer away from Tyler* [dealer]: *indignant* Hey, hey! I've been waiting all night to get a turn on that! Colchester: Find someone else to prey on. He's in no fit state. [dealer]: Let go of me! Colchester: With pleasure. *throws him away* *door closes* Colchester: *sighs* Tyler: *confused noises* Where did... where did thingy go? Colchester: *patient* Elsewhere. Tyler: Ah, not your type? Colchester: *still patient* Not anyone's. Tyler: Eh, that doesn't mean you get to... *swallows, attempts to collect himself* you get to... *seems to give up* you know. *little breathy laugh* You jealous? Colchester: Not really. Look at you. Tyler: *petulant* You're not my daddy. *pause* Not unless you want to be. Colchester: *exasperated sound* Tyler! Tyler: *annoyed* Come on!!! I just wanted some fun. *suddenly thoughtful* We could pull over and fool around. Colchester: *disbelieving voice* 'Fool around'! *disbelieving chuckle* What have you taken! Tyler: *almost dreamy sigh* Stuff. *almost wistful tone* Lots of stuff. Colchester: *blunt* You're a mess. Are you up to this assignment? Tyler: Of course I am! Just taking the edge off. Colchester: *reprimanding* Mr. Steele! Tyler: You don't have to do what I have to. Spending all day scrolling through all that shit. Ah, the stuff people... *cuts self off, swallows* The things they say. All day. Reading it, I... *raises voice suddenly* You know, I'm not like you! Stuff gets to me! Colchester: *sighs* Tyler... Tyler: *briefly sounds like he's fighting tears* I just want to be numb for a few hours, okay? The stuff I let people do to me, you know I- I- I deserve it. 'Cause of what I let them say about her. It's sick. *working himself up* Bullets on her doorstep. *sputters helplessly* I mean why do they leave bullets?! Colchester: How long were you in that club. Tyler: *desperate* Not long enough. Don't you know? *bitter* You're following my every movement. And loving it. *huffs and puffs* Colchester: *picking his battles, trying a different angle* The tracker is not in your phone, so don't bother throwing that away. Tyler: *bursts out angrily* Just stop following me! Okay? Petra's a friend, and I wanna keep her safe. *petulant* Not that you'd understand that. *swallows back tears again* And I know what they wanna do to her. *on the verge of crying* Gosh I just wanna feel nothing for a few hours, alright? Colchester: Well next time just ask me, I'd be delighted to hit you with a rolling pin. Now, let's get you home. Tyler: *wet breath, wet voice* You're nice. You're nice to me, you're nice. *another deep, bracing breath; voice picking up again* How do I stop them killing her?
