Torchwood: God Among Us, Part 2
6.5 Flight 405 by Lou Morgan
Flight 405 went missing over 60 years ago, but tonight the plane finally lands. Norton Folgate’s a Torchwood agent from the 1950 and he swears Flight 405 contains the secret to the end of the world, but can Torchwood trust him?
6.6 Hostile Environment by Ash Darby
An app's been launched that allows you to tag the homeless. People thinks they're doing a good thing and helping out. It does seem a remarkable success. After all, since it’s launched, there are a lot less homeless people on the streets – so it must be doing some good, mustn’t it?
6.7 Another Man's Shoes by Tim Foley
Yvonne wakes up in Andy's body - and both have difficult days ahead of them.
Meanwhile, Norton’s making himself very much at home in Tyler’s body, much to Tyler’s alarm, and Ng is worried she knows what’s going on.
Someone's playing a terrible trick on Torchwood. But who will win?
6.8 Eye of the Storm by David Llewellyn
An alien power station is sending out waves of lethal energy, people are turning to stone and the water levels are rising.
As Torchwood set out on a desperate mission, God takes tea with someone who has been playing a very long game.
Has the time come for Norton Folgate to save the world?

The second part of the series continues from the cliffhanger at the end of part one, giving a mini plot arc to dubious ‘50s Torchwood agent Norton Fulgate – who, in at least some of the stories here is portrayed more seriously than he was in his initial outings. As usual, they aren’t kidding about the presence of adult content, and, if anything it's stronger in this one than usual.
• Flight 405 – Following on from the cliffhanger ending of the previous volume, this sees Fulgate joining Andy and Yvonne as they investigate an aeroplane trapped in the Rift. It’s primarily a character piece, with the tension provided by the apparently doomed status of the plane rather than by any kind of monster. So, instead, there is some expansion of the relationship between Yvonne and Andy, and a question as to how far they can trust Norton (bearing in mind what happened in Andy’s previous encounters with him). Even so, the threat does ratchet up towards the end and there is some mild gore along the way. Not the strongest Torchwood story, but the small cast does keep things focussed. 4 stars.
• Cardiff Unknown – Slipped in between the first and second regular episodes of this collection is this 25-minute story in the form of a podcast that explores mysteries and conspiracy theories around Cardiff – some of which are related to previous episodes. It doesn’t go anywhere and feels like filler. While I presume that it will prove relevant later on, taken on its own it’s competently done, but that’s about it. 3 stars.
• Hostile Environment – From there, though, we move on to a particularly dark episode that deals with some strong adult themes of physical and sexual abuse. It’s based around Tyler who is not, it has to be said, a particularly likeable character, but here finds himself homeless on the streets of Cardiff and a subject of the listener’s sympathy. The despair of his situation spirals downwards as things get progressively worse with the science fiction elements complemented by the commentary on social attitudes to the homeless. It’s a bleak vision about loss of control, and not always comfortable listening. 5 stars.
• Another Man’s Shoes – A body-swap story that sees (from the opening seconds) some of the regular characters switching bodies with one another. Naturally, this has quite a bit of comic potential and that’s the main focus, albeit with something more serious going on in the background. (And rather a lot of implied sex). It also allows the main actors to play a different character, something that has mixed results but is generally both effective and amusing. Samuel Barnett, for instance, is doing a voice so different from his usual character, Norton Fulgate, and doing it so well that, without visuals, it’s sometimes hard to remember which one he is… while Barrowman’s English accent often falters. While it does connect to the larger plot, it’s largely a good piece of fun, much needed after the gloom of the preceding episode. 4.5 stars.
• Eye of the Storm – The final story is a tense action piece as the team struggle to shut down an alien reactor in the Bristol Channel amidst a powerful storm. It’s effectively done, and, as the story escalates, there are plenty of betrayals and drama as various threads hinted at in the previous episodes come to a head. Indeed, there are connections to audios well before this ‘season’, helping to build the sense of a big plot arc. It ends on another cliffhanger setting things up for the final box set. 4.5 stars.

6.5 Flight 405 by Lou Morgan
Norton Folgate, evocato da Yvonne al termine della stagione scorsa, coinvolge il nuovo capo di Torchwood 3 e il povero Andy in una missione di recupero fuori dal tempo.
Gruppo interessante e finale che riunisce le due sottotrame principali della Torchwood Big Finish.
6.6 Hostile Environment by Ash Darby
Praticamente un assolo di Tyler, con comparsate degli altri, che scende nell'inferno dei senzatetto.
Crudo e realistico, storia apparentemente slegata dal contesto.
6.7 Another Man's Shoes by Tim Foley
Scambio di identità tra i vari componenti del gruppo. La risoluzione dell'inghippo si ha alla fine, per i tre quarti della storia si seguono varie scenette che incasinano la vita ad uno o all'altro degli "scambiati".
Rivelazioni importanti sulle varie talpe, anche se abbastanza telefonate.
6.8 Eye of the Storm by David Llewellyn
Finale epico per questo secondo box set, con potenziale distruzione di Cardiff come esito.
Il rappresentante del misterioso Committee (la minaccia ricorrente degli audio singoli) discute con Dio (quello arrivato alla fine della quinta stagione e che ci accompagna in questa) sul piano di utilizzare una centrale aliena (dei Sirvix, antagonisti della scorsa stagione) per distruggere la Terra... o ripulirla, biblicamente parlando.
Episodi apparentemente scollegati si riannodano in questo finale, spiegamdo comportamenti ed alleanze e lasciando nuovi dubbi e un grosso problema da risolvere nella terza parte.
Protagonisti sempre in parte. La presenza di Norton Folgate è un ottimo acquisto, anche se il suo destino è incerto. Il ritorno di Mr Colchester, preannunciato nella prima parte, non è ancora chiarito del tutto ma è grandemente gradito. NG, liberatasi dal doppio ruolo NG/Gwenn, ha acquisito carattere e Yvonne è semplicemente Yvonne e non importa aggiungere altro.
Gli altri fanno il loro dovere, ma si mantengono sui binari tracciati dalla serie tv.
Il bix set finale dovrà sistemare molte cose e, probabilmdnte, porre le basi per una nuova stagione.

Torchwood God Among Us has a brilliant beginning, so I immediately wanted to continue with the second set which also has a one-of-a-kind advertisement release for the series called 'Cardiff Unknown'. I'm excited to see where this series takes us next, the first set was wild, unpredictable, and fantastic!
Flight 405:
Norton Folgate is back with a message that the end of the world is coming. Flight 405 is about to escape from the rift after 60 years. But Norton, Andy, and Yvonne must prevent it from crashing for something inside the plane could potentially destroy the entire city, if not the world. But can Andy and Yvonne trust Norton, what is he up to?
Lou Morgan has written an incredible script that is atmospheric, experimental, and at times chilling. It's fascinating to see a new side to Norton Folgate's character where he's actively terrified throughout the narrative of this story. I've had mixed feelings about Norton as a character from what I've listened to but honestly, I really loved his character here and it has me interested in the Torchwood Soho stuff now. He and Andy are always great together. 10/10
Cardiff Unknown - October 2018:
Jeff and Nimah run the Cardiff Unknown Podcast and together they try to get to the bottom of what's really going on in Cardiff.
I'd love to know who wrote this little short piece not going to lie, because even though it is an advertisement piece for the series, it's honestly a lot of fun with a spooky vibe. It's fascinating to see the events of what goes on in Cardiff being witnessed and discussed by people who simply live in the city day in and day out. It's something we never see, really close up so it makes for a nice change. 8/10
Hostile Environment:
Tyler Steele is homeless and the streets are depressingly vile, people walk by either giving change or spitting at him. But there's something far worse out there, for drones are going about the city and people with apps on their phones are tagging the homeless. The drones find them and give them a choice, drugs or death? The answer's quite obvious really.
Ash Darby's script is incredibly bleak and haunting. Drug trials being subjugated on the homeless is a messed up idea in itself. But seeing the day in and day out of a homeless person's life is very harrowing and demeaning to witness and honestly this audio made me so uncomfortable to a point where I just wanted to break down into tears. This is a messed up story that is unfortunately very relevant, but it's written so incredibly well. 10/10
Another Man's Shoes:
Something dreadful has happened to team Torchwood, everyone has swapped bodies including Sergeant Andy Davidson. He and his new girlfriend Yvonne are in a pickle, but how about the rest of the team? They will be challenged and tested in each other's everyday lives whilst a sinister force lurks in the shadows.
Tim Foley has written a terrific script that makes for a unique and solid story for character development. It is a hilarious and at times heartwarming story that starts giving us a solid idea of how The Committee come into this story arc and what they have in mind for the people of Earth. 9/10
Eye of The Storm:
An alien power station is about to explode, releasing lethal energy. Torchwood have a mission and God is on their side. But traitors will be revealed and plans will go disastrously wrong. It's Norton Folgate's turn to save the world, but at what cost?
David Llewellyn has written a terrific script that is very finale-esque in scale and by god is it intense and epic. A very atmospheric story filled with twists and surprises. The cliffhanger to this one is shocking! 10/10
Overall: 39/40

God Among Us 2 was my favorite box set of all the Season boxes so far. The stories are constantly good and just beg for tons of re-listens. What do you want more?
Flight 405 - 5/5
Yvonne Hartman, Sgt. Andy and Norton Folgate trying to land a crashing plane is the most hilarious thing ever. I loved every single minute of this. At first some things really don't make sense at all, but the story gets picked up later on and I just LOVE all the little details in this story. And I just LOVE listening to Norton, definitely one of my favorite characters out there.
Cardiff Unknown - no rating
This is attached to Flight 405, but can also be downloaded for free on the Big Finish Website. It's made in the form of a podcast and very entertaining and informative. They take a look back (and into the future) on all the strange things happening in Cardiff. I think it's great to see it from the perspecitve of outsiders. Also the voices of the two bloggers do a really great job.
Hostile Environment - 5/5
This one has an extra warning before the story that Torchwood includes adult themes and is NOT for children. That makes it quite clear we go into heavy stuff with this story. This story focuses on Tyler Steele who had quite a rough time since the Major of Cardiff disappeared. And this story drags him even lower. I always liked Tyler, even that he's not always on the right path, but I know not everyone likes him. If you don't feel sorry for him during this you have no heart. I caught myself at least twice having tears in my eyes. I really like how dark this story is and that it really takes no prisoners, figuratively speaking, the end included.
Another Man's Shoes - 5/5
Body Swap story at it's best! What a laugh!!!! Everybody, really everybody is doing such an excellent job! And having tons of fun, you can hear that all the way through! I found it almost scary how in character some actors sounded, all the Torchwood voice actors are so talented! But the story is not just plain fun, it also brings the overall story line forward and gives us some revealing insight what is going on. This season just gets better and better.
Eye Of The Storm - 5/5
We've got a real old school mission! I hadn't realized so far, but we don't get that so much with the audio seasons. So the team heads out to shut down a secret Sorvix Power Station that is in danger of explosing after a heavy storm. So far so good - until all hell breaks loose. The best thing about this story is to see that the team is finally working well together. Another Man's Shoes was kind of a team building exercise and it really warms my heart.

Torchwood Gods Among Us Part 2 - 3.75/5 stars
6.5 Flight 405 by Lou Morgan - 3/5 stars
Fucking Norton Folgate invades current-day Torchwood and manipulates Yvonne and Andy. Great comedic value ensues.
6.6 Hostile Environment by Ash Darby - 5/5 stars
Homeless. Tyler Steele discovers a plot where people scan homeless people with an app and drones attack them giving them a choice. Be a Trial Drug Testor or Death. As his life falls apart he struggles to pull in money to get Torchwood to take notice. This made me angry with the Torchwood Team and heartbroken for Tyler. When he uses the drones against their creator I felt like he was justified in getting them to burn their creator alive because the creator said it was just a way for him to make money, disgusting. Tyler now living at Torchwood’s hub was a good way to end this story.
6.7 Another Man's Shoes by Tim Foley - 4/5 stars
Funny Freaky Friday episode with Yvonne and Andy swapping bodies. Jack and Colchester swap bodies on Colin’s birthday (Colchestor’s husband). And Tyler and Norton swap bodies, Norton, a gay man from the 1950s discovering modern gay life and Grindr and poppers.
6.8 Eye of the Storm by David Llewellyn - 3/5 stars
The world ends and poor Norton Folgate traps himself in a time loop for eternity.

Toujours une saison excellente et ambitieuse avec l'épisode Hostile Environment se démarquant des autres épisodes (incluant un épisode un peu comique d'échange de corps) par la dureté et le réalisme des thèmes abordés et sa possibilité bien réelle (l'entrevue après l'audio va dans plus de détail sur une application qui a réellement été développée à Londres pour identifier les itinérants). Le dernier épisode avance beaucoup plus dans la narration et offre des développements auxquels je ne m'attendais pas du tout donc compliment pour ça aussi.
On n'est plus dans des questions de deuils dans ce coffret (contrairement au précédent), mais si ce coffret a un thème, ce serait probablement celui de l'exploration de la marginalisation. Beaucoup beaucoup au niveau de l'homosexualité, mais un peu aussi au niveau de l'itinérance (avec Hostile Environment).

I think they did a marvelous job with an obviously busy-with-other-commitments cast. I wish John Barrowman would have been more present in the episodes, like the last episode.
