Torchwood: We always get out alive
Hey Guys,
welcome to the next Big Finish Torchwood adventure – We always get out alive with Gwen and Rhys. A lot of you guys know already that I didn’t like Gwen but love Rhys. So I was sure that this would be the weakest story of this season. Which is not hard with how amazing all the others were. But this story is amazing and it doesn’t have to hide behind the other stories. The story of them plays after the season Miracle Day.
The long drive home
Gwen is already working again as Torchwood and Rhys is helping her. Their daughter is at home with the babysitter when they are out hunting. This story starts after they finished a job and they drive home. It doesn’t sound like much but this simple theme is amazing. Of course there is an alien out for them. But mostly it is just them driving home. I promise you it is not boring at all.
A Car drive is funny
These two go through everything in this car drive. They flirt, they argue, they fight, they understand and they are frightened. It changes so fast. One moment they fight they next they make jokes. There are a lot of deep things in it. It is about Gwen loving her job, about Rhys being afraid that someday they will not get out alive. It is about how the job influence them. How you deal with the stuff you go through.
But in the end it is about love and trust. These two found their way. They may stubble and fall a few times but in the end they go in the same direction. They know what they want and that is this life together. It is great.
Listing or not
Definitely go and listen to it. It is amazing and they are so much going on in this little car drive. Also I like to see how far Gwen and Rhys came. In season 1 and 2 I hated this pairing, because I always thought that Rhys deserve better. Gwen didn’t really love him. She just married him because Jack would never asked her. I hated this so much. This is the biggest reason why I disliked her so much. But over all that happened she start to see him, to see how much luck she has to have someone like him. When I listen to this adventures I really love them together.
