Torchwood Mr Invincible

[beccaelizabeth]

This leads on from something mentioned in the previous audio and does give Jack the chance to charge to the rescue about it but in a way that leaves Gwen completely out of her own story so that's boring.

I can't think of much to say about this one.
It sort of happens around Jack and to everyone else, and I cant see much to do with character or theme in there.
It didnt feel much like a Torchwood or Doctor Who story, more of a mutant super powers out of control thing in the end. Someone discovers their half alien heritage and has to wear a necklace about it. People get killed but its all random and on accident. And I never get the point of stuff that's random and on accident.

I mean the girl wants her dad to be cool so then he has superpowers but they wear off so he dies.
Yet we never see her talk to her dad or anything.

It could be a story about fathers and daughters, or daughters who think their dad can save the world, and that's solid Jack Harkness guilt stuff, and yet, no, it doesnt really add up to that.


At best I feel this could be rewritten with the same ingredients to have actual story in it.

But I like it less the more I think about it.

Which is a bit sad for the last one in a box set.
