- Quotes
Eugene Jones: [narrating] The average life is full of near misses and absolute hits, of great love and small disasters. It's made up of banana milkshakes, loft insulation, and random shoes. It's dead ordinary and truly truly amazing. What you've got to realise is it's all here now. So breathe deep and swallow it whole because take it from me, life just whizzes by.
- ConnectionsFeatures A for Andromeda (1961)
At least this time with Torchwood, they haven't included any god awful CGI. There's no attempts at CGI, and it makes it all the more better to watch, as we don't have to witness some awful contraception on screen. In fact the sci-fi element is this episode is excellent - there's no larger than life, forgettable aliens, sci-fi is instead used to tell a very human story about redemption.
This episode isn't particularly memorable, and doesn't offer much for a rewatch, but nevertheless, it's still a good episode.
