I just saw this episode yesterday (A superb TV BBC series by the way).
I don't know how many people here wateches Torchwood? It's a "adult" spinoff on Doctor Who, and by adult
not meaning pornographic
Lookie here: http://www.bbcamerica.com/torchwood
Torchwood is described as "sinister and psychological...As well as being very British and modern and real." It is further described it as "a British sci-fi paranoid thriller, a cop show with a sense of humour. Dark, wild and sexy - It has more mature content than Doctor Who. Producer Russel T. Davies told SFX: "We can be a bit more visceral, more violent, and more sexual, if we want to. Though bear in mind that it's very teenage to indulge yourself in blood and gore, and Torchwood is going to be smarter than that."
So If you don't know it you now might have an idea about the series.
Well, back to this episode. The villan reminds me A LOT of a thematic demon. The being is only memories, he exists by placing false memories of himself in people, if no one remebers him he's gone. The being actually says it comes from the void, drawn to our world. A dialouge from the episode where our hero finaly caught the "demon" goes like this:
The being calling h?tself Adam can offer the hero access to some lost memories
Adam: "I can take you back there.....Before I die.
Jack: "Why would you do that?"
Adam: "I was in the void for so long,the colours of this world almost blinded me, Jack.
It was so beautiful after the darkness and the stench of fear....You gave me that....Let me do this for you."Really..... This I thought was a superp episode. And something i'm going to try with my group someday. Placing a good friend NPC who really helps the group a lot, perhaps rescuing them a coupple of times wanting nothing but thanks and hugs in return. And then someday one of the PC's will somehow discover that their "Adam" is not mentionend in a log or in a Inn the group frequent. And that he's infact not old freind but a demon who they just freed 2 days ago... How they are going to get rid of it I don't know -they can't do the same thing as Torchwood did? Or perhaps thay can?
hmmm...
Well... have anyone seen this show or this episode?
