Torchwood No 27 Sync (Spoilers OK)

That was a lot of fun. Always great to hear Suzie Costello. Hopefully we'll get more with her in the not too distant future.

Damn, I love both of these actresses, and hearing them together was gorgeous.

Suzy is a terrific character, but it makes you wonder why Jack ever trusted her in the first place. I get that he's a huge optimist, but he's also a usually a little smarter about people. I get why he has the Torchwood team he has. Even Owen, with all his bullshit attitude and heavy handed misogyny, you feel like the core of him is just the opposite. That he's deeply wounded by his loss and uses his asshat-ery to hide that pain. But Suzy? Just the opposite. Uses a show of being helpful to hide her complete selfishness and narcissism. Which makes her fantastic to listen to in these stories.

And I can't say enough about Annette Badland. She takes that evil glee and shines it everywhere. I love that woman in everything I've seen andh eard from her, not to mention the lovely chat we had in the ladies' room at LIWho a few years back. More please!!

Well that was a bit of fun! It's not my favourite Torchwood entry, but there is always room for a well-written drama involving two characters who are constantly trying to kill each other! What is it they they say? What doesn't kill you makes you stronger? Strangely, this shared concern brings these two terrific characters closer together in a strange way. And it works so well because the story has just enough twists to keep things interesting, and the (virtual) two-hander is brilliantly acted - as we might have expected, really - by Indira Varma and Annette Badland. What a terrific double act!

LOL!!! This never even occurred to me! 

Another enjoyable Torchwood release, honestly these single releases are probably one of the most consistent Big Finish ranges. Suzie gets some more fleshing out and Margaret plays off her wonderfully. 

There still is a lot of potential with Suzie. Would be curious to hear her opposite a proper Torchwood team member (which we do get a hint of here briefly) or how/why Jack recruited her for Torchwood in the first place. 

Loved it and want more with these two.

I am surprised not more people here are routing for this.
I have only just started to dabble in Torchwood and still have not seen the TV show, so I had (and still have) not much clue about who Suzie is (except I gathered that she must be a very morally grey character).
However, this is a really fun piece.
I was afraid that it would be too much juvenile humor like in Aliens of London, since it has the Slitheen, but as said above, this is is more Boom Town than Aliens of London. I really like Boom Town and I certainly loved the characterization Margret gets there- she becomes a really great character and villain and it is a bit sad that there was not much chance of seeing her again (until now).
All in all, this is a good release and the two main characters play off each other wonderfully. It all comes together as a fun romp.

A good deal, which I've took advantage of.
