Torchwood: Uncanny Valley

Hey Guys,

welcome to the 5th big finish Torchwood adventure ‘Uncanny Valley’, which is a typical season one adventure. This was the weakest story so far but that doesn’t mean that it is a bad story. The Story is playing after ‘The Conspiracy‘ but i am still not sure when it should play.

I know what you are thinking

Jack is like the last time telling the story directly to us. This time it is not explained like the last time with a phone call, what actually a little sad but it doesn’t really matter. The kind of narration is placing you in the story and it gets you. It is a really good story for Jack Harkness. I for myself have enough of all the sex in the tv shows and i don’t want to tell to much but we have some here. Big Finish is here again remembers us of one thing that got a little lost in the fourth season. Jack Harkness is not gay. He likes guys, women, alien, anything you can have sex with and that was always why i liked him. Because he doesn’t care about something like race or gender. Also his way of seeing beauty is not bound to our sight. It is good that this is not forgotten.

What makes you human?

The story is nothing new but Torchwood don’t has any rules or no goes. So this is a story about someone that get something like a robot. This is a copie of him, which should do his life in the world for him because after a accident that put him in wheelchiar. Of course in this story it goes how this robot becomes kinda like human. It is his job to become like his owner but when you see them interacted or acted. They are very different from each other. But this is not what the story is about. It is more about how life can change you and that everything can turn against you. Even the comitee is not on the focus here. The Robot has to do with comitee, but we never got real information about what their plan is or what they are. It is more a drawing of a relationship that grows and breaks in the end. It doesn’t ask big questions. It makes all this question seem like it is totally normal.

It was fun to listen to John Barrowman again. Can wait for the next episode and the second season!
