Some people have complained that the released creature is sub-standard CGI - but I think that this was supposed to reflect or play 'homage' to a typical end of level 'Boss' and as such was intended to be more computer game graphic than Hollywood. As such I think it worked well.

The actor that plays the original Jack Harkness in 1940s Torchwood episode is Matt Rippy, an American actor who has been in England for the past 13 years. You can find out more at his website: www.mattrippy.net

I think that this series has been the best i really admire Gwen Cooper she is great in both Torchwood and Doctor Who. Please bring out a second series with more exciting characters in. thankyou for this wonderful experience

I think this was the best episode in the whole series. It was quite scary and the end was sooooo sad. I cried a lot.

Absolutely fantastic! A truly brilliant finale as any finale should be to any series! The cast really excelled themselves, bravo!!

Damn it, how did I miss the rest of this series? Loved every minute of the finale and really trying to find out who plays the "real" Captain Jack in this episode. He is too hot for words! Any ideas anyone?
