shapinglightSpoilers for the episode behind cut, and yes, Captain John is still enjoying the whole thing. In fact, he's just ordered another drink and settled down to watch ep 4 with his faithful poodle Bubbles.
After what I felt was a slight dip in quality in episode 2 (not the whole episode, just the silly rescue scene at the end), ep 3 was back on form. Terrific performances from pretty much everyone, though if I had to pick a winner, it would be Peter Capaldi, who was bloody brilliant. The first negotiation scene between him and thevomiting aliens 456 was so tense I was on the edge of my seat.
I couldn't really pick a favourite scene, but everything involving Peter Capaldi, Ianto's sister and her family (Ianto b-i-l's wheeze with the £10 babysitting fee was wonderful) and Jack's daughter were fantastic. Nice to see Nasty Stormtrooper Lady meet someone almost as tough as she is.
Mind you, though it worked perfectly well, the revelation about Jack at the end could be seen a mile off. Also, does anyone else have the nasty feeling Jack and Ianto might have just missed their last chance ever for a s**g due to Rhys's cluelessness?
Great stuff. Roll on ep 4.
