Torchwood The Last Love Song of Suzie Costello

[beccaelizabeth]

This big finish audio was okay to listen to but I deleted it off my phone because it's mostly good at showing why Suzie ended up breaking down. Sure it's an adventure and she gets to do stuff and have plans and be her dark and creative self, but mostly she gets tricked into falling in love with someone who is created as a trap, then kills them, then gets upset about it as one very reasonably would. Story did what it set out to do, you can see why Suzie would care, and how a very little praise and hope dangled in front of her kept her going where the trap wanted her to... and you can see why she'd end up in episode one despair. Torchwood happened, as Torchwood always happens, and it cuts off all her hopes. Which is well written but not somewhere I personally want to revisit enough to keep it on my phone.

Very good at humanising Suzie while keeping her sharp. Adds more depth to the character.

It's just depths of despair, so, on the whole, not my speed.
