Torchwood - The Story Continues #6
Torchwood: God Among Us, Part 3
In times of disaster people turn to God. But what if they no longer believe in themselves?
Cardiff is recovering from a catastrophe. Torchwood find themselves up against the Disaster Recovery Committee – instead of putting the city back on its feet, it seems to be preparing for something worse. There’s a conspiracy to be exposed, a mythical monster becomes real, fights are breaking out over drinking water, and Jack Harkness is getting ready for the end of the world.
6.9 A Mother’s Son by Alexandria Riley
Cardiff has suffered a catastrophic flood. Dozens are still missing. Survivors fill camps across the city. An inquiry has been set up to find out what happened.
Bethan’s come to the city looking for answers. Her son is among the missing, and no-one seems to want to help her find him. It’s starting to look like there’s a cover-up. What is Torchwood? Can it really be behind it?
6.10 ScrapeJane by Robin Bell
ScrapeJane is a myth. A monster made up by an urban explorer. A monster that’s caught on. A monster with forums, with merch, with a book deal. A monster that people have started to believe in.
A monster that’s started killing.
6.11 Day Zero by Tim Foley
They’ve been warning about it for ages. Poisonous mould in the water supply. But it’s finally got out of hand. It’s day zero – the day Cardiff runs out of drinking water.
As people start fighting over the last remaining supplies, the Disaster Recovery Committee takes drastic action. Because there’s one place that still has clean water. And Torchwood will do anything to stop them from getting it.
6.12 Thoughts and Prayers by James Goss
Cardiff lies broken. Torchwood’s leaders are either arrested or dead. In a storage unit something forgotten has been reborn. And underneath the city, a terrible impossibility has been built.
The streets are filled with the prayers of the desperate. Because everyone knows - The end of the world is nigh.

This is the conclusion not only to this imagined future season of the TV show but to the longer arc of the audio “Torchwood Continued” storyline. Although there is a clear conclusion, the ending is left open a little, presumably in case Big Finish wanted to write more about this incarnation of the team. Sadly, though, subsequent revelations about Barrowman’s behaviour make any full reunion of this specific cast now seem unlikely. So, while we might see some characters return individually, this is probably all we’re going to get for this incarnation of the team. Fortunately, it’s a good send-off.
A Mother’s Son – The first episode kicks off some time after the cliffhanger ending of the previous box set as Cardiff tries to come to terms with what just happened. Unusually, the story is told from the perspective of a woman tragically affected by the events. Most of the regular characters do show up, of course, popping in and out of the story as its protagonist tries to uncover the truth, but the focus isn’t on them. This makes a surprisingly effective way of bridging between the relevant parts of the larger arc, showing us how the outside world perceives what is happening, with echoes of government responses to real-world disasters. The campaigning central character successfully brings a human heart to a story that nonetheless still has aliens and SF technology in it. 4 stars.
Scrape Jane – Now we’re over to Colchester and Ng as they investigate an obviously fictional urban legend that seems nonetheless to be real. This, it turns out, is the follow-up to “Cardiff Unknown”, the insert story in the previous box set. That didn’t work so well on its own and is really an overly long teaser for this. Still, now we get the pay-off, and it works well as a violent horror story with an interesting opponent. Initially seeming like an unrelated side-story, it all ties into the larger arc and makes good use of both of its leads, here working without the backup of the rest of the group. 4.5 stars.
Day Zero – Returning to the theme of the first episode, the situation in Cardiff continues to get worse (you’d think that by now, the Red Cross or somebody would be organising humanitarian relief convoys just to get people out, but apparently not). Initially focussing on the human side of events, the SF elements become more significant in the second half, which ties in more closely to the main arc. With the various members of the team caught up in different aspects of the ongoing crisis, there’s a sense of widescale societal breakdown and a feeling that things have changed some of the central characters for the worse. It’s all really a part of the rising tension leading into the final episode, but it does also work on its own. 4 stars.
Thoughts and Prayers – The final episode is suitably apocalyptic, putting the future of the Earth on the line. It brings all the main characters together again and wraps up a lot of what’s been going on in the Torchwood audios for some time. Inevitably, not everyone gets as much to do as one might like, but some have already had their climactic moment in earlier episodes and can easily cede ground to those who have not. It’s dramatic and world-shaking in a way that Torchwood often isn’t, but, if you’re going to go out, go out with a bang. 5 stars.

6.9 A Mother’s Son by Alexandria Riley
L'azione riprende dalla catastrofe prodotta al termine del secondo box set.
Seguendo le peregrinazioni di una madre alla ricerca del figlio disperso ci viene raccontato cosa è successo a Cardiff e ai superstiti di Torchwood.
Ritroviamo anche Orr, in una nuova veste e con nuove potenzialità.
6.10 ScrapeJane by Robin Bell
Apparente stand alone con.Mr Colchester e NG alle prese con una leggenda metropolitana un po' troppo reale.
In realtà vediamo come le intenzioni del Dio arrivato a inizio stagione si confermano poco simpatiche per la Terra.
6.11 Day Zero by Tim Foley
Con la compromissione della riserva di acqua, la situazione a Cardiff si fa esplosiva e basta poco per scoccare la scintilla.
Orr e Ng cercano di resistere al piano di Dio, mentre i superstiti di Torchwood cercano di calmare le acque.
Ma, davanti al caos, il Comitato e Andy non si fermano davanti a nulla... come mettere dietro le sbarre Dio in persona.
6.12 Thoughts and Prayers by James Goss
La fine del mondo è (di nuovo) vicina.
I vari componenti di Torchwood si ritrovano alla fine davanti alla frattura, mentre il Comitato (fil rouge delle due stagioni e di molti audio del main range) sta per fare un ingresso trionfale nella nostra dimensione.
Tra rivelazioni e controcomplotti, i nostri riescono (di nuovo) a salvare tutti... prendendosi comunque la colpa del caos provocato.
Il finale lascia qualche filo aperto e una discreta voglia di nuova stagione.
Nel complesso la sesta stagione si è rivelata più intrigante della precedente, che aveva messo le basi per i fatti narrati in questa.
I vari personaggi hanno trovato la loro voce e non si sente la mancanza del team storico. La fidelizzazione è completa, adesso devono regalarci una settima stagione.

Une série d'épisodes qui prennent des proportions assez épiques, même pour Torchwood, avec la ville de Cardiff à la merci de catastrophes qui arrivent l'une après l'autre, après l'inondation, le perte d'eau potable, à la fin, le ciel leur tombe sur la tête et toute la ville est sans espoir et prête à se retourner l'un contre l'autre.
Oui, les épisodes touchent des sujets "torchwoodiens" comme la mort, le deuil évidemment, on explore assez intensément ces émotions avec le premier récit, mais on réfléchit aussi beaucoup plus profondément aux questions de désirs (au sens très large du terme), d'espoir et de désespoir, mais aussi beaucoup d'amour (avec Dieu et Orr, ça prend des proportions assez titanesques).
Ce sont des très bons épisodes qu'on entend, qui réussit à aller dans le plus profond de l'intime des gens, et pas seulement de Torchwood, tout en prenant des proportions mondiales par moment. On passe beaucoup de temps sur tout le monde et j'ai même l'impression que le Captain Jack Harckness est presque sous-utilisé ou peu intéressant dans cette série aux profits des autres personnages (ce n'est pas nécessairement une mauvaise chose) puisqu'il ne sauve pas vraiment personne en fin de compte et joue un rôle très minimal.
J'aimerais toutefois montrer un bémol important avec le personnage d'Orr auquel je me suis énormément attaché·, l'actrice derrière le personnage joue incroyablement bien et les scénaristes ont définitivement fait un travail d'écriture intéressant, mais que le seul personnage non-binaire de la série passe son temps à se faire torturer de la sorte parce qu'iel est faite d'amour et veut simplement répondre aux désirs des gens, rendu au quatrième épisode du coffret, ça commençait à être très douloureux de l'entendre toujours toujours souffrir constamment et d'avoir à peine des bons moments pour iel. Je pense que l'argument de répondre aux désirs étaient déjà très bien adressé dans le premier épisode du coffret, rendu au dernier, ça semblait plus relever de la cruauté envers le personnage qu'un véritable développement ou réflexion sur le sujet de l'amour et des sacrifices effectués en son nom. J'espère sincèrement que ce n'est pas le début d'une "trend" à la "Bury Your Gays", "kill the lesbian" que les personnages non-binaires doivent passer constamment à travers des souffrances inimaginables tout au long de leur parcours. Peut-être était-ce bien écrit ou interprété, parce que j'ai définitivement pleuré en entendant plusieurs scènes de Orr, mais peut-être aussi est-ce parce que j'étais assez sensible à entendre cette souffrance répétée un peu ad nauseam à la fin (même si j'ai écouté chaque épisode sur plusieurs jours), peut-être est-ce un mélange des deux, mais pitié, passons à autre chose.
Presqu'à l'opposé, Colchester et son partenaire sont toujours aussi remarquables et on sent vraiment l'amour qui est mis dans leur représentation et même si des obstacles importants sont dressés dans leur couple tout au long de l'aventure, on garde vraiment un grand respect de ne pas les faire souffrir inutilement par des contraintes scénaristiques.
Orr et Colchester sont vraiment de nouveaux personnages incroyables pensés pour cette suite et j'espère sincèrement pouvoir entendre leurs personnages dans d'autres aventures.
Dans l'ensemble, une très belle continuation de Torchwood, ce qui se fait de meilleur ou presque en terme d'écriture, des enjeux interstellaires, mais avec une dimension extrêmement humaine et le besoin de se confronter à des émotions difficiles.

So here we are at the end of the road, Torchwood God Among Us is coming to its conclusion, and it is the end of the world. I've loved this series and so far I've agreed with everyone that God Among Us is (so far) the best stuff to come out of the continuation series by Big Finish. I'm very excited to find out what happens next and how it all concludes.
A Mother's Son:
Cardiff has suffered a catastrophic flood and hundreds of lives have been lost. Survivors fill up the camps and an inquiry has been put together to find out what happened and who's responsible. Bethan has come to the city to find her missing son, who's presumably dead. But she won't give up until grieving families across the city finally get some answers and that means standing up to Torchwood.
Alexandria Riley has written a fantastic script that makes for a harrowing listen, the ideas here are bleak, the atmosphere is hopeless and the characterization is top-notch. This is a very emotional and gloomy listen that focuses on a character outside of the team and gives us a perspective of what it's like to be someone who's lost a loved one at the hands of Torchwood, even if unintentional. The ending of this one made my jaw drop. Yvonne is a great character, but she can be cold and ruthless!! 9/10
ScrapeJane:
Cardiff Unknown is doing a story on the mythical boogeyman of Cardiff, ScrapeJane, but when one of the podcasters is murdered out of the blue it seems the legend might be true after all. Mr. Colchester and Ng have a mystery to solve, faith can be beautiful but also extremely dangerous as well.
I was sad to find out Robin Bell passed away before this audio even came out because it's a bloody good story. They've written an incredible script about faith, creepypastas, and the obsession of fans over the internet. It's a very creepy and atmospheric story with some very gruesome and terrifying scenes. It also has some very interesting scenes to do with Mr. Colchester suffering from an identity crisis after his apparent death. 10/10
Day Zero:
It's Day Zero and Cardiff has run out of water, the city predictably is set aflame, and the chaos begins. Sergeant Andy Davison has lost faith in Torchwood and now he's after them.
Tim Foley has written an incredible script that is very bleak and dire in tone, seeing the city burst into chaos over such a simple thing like water and what people are willing to do to get it, is nothing less than disturbing and all so horribly human. We see the worst in people trying to survive, we see faith lost and the start of the end of the world. It's a very atmospheric and grim story that ends on a jaw-dropping cliffhanger that implies that nothing will be the same ever again. 10/10
Thoughts and Prayers:
Cardiff is broken and Torchwood is gone. The end of the world has arrived and they've run out of time.
James Goss has written an incredible finale that wonderfully ties everything up from this series in a spectacular way. This is a very action-packed and intense finale with some very emotional scenes and a blood-pumping climax. The ending to this one is very sad, but not surprising. Very interested to see what happens next for the crew. 10/10
Overall: 39/40.

Mother's Son - 3/5
Mother's Son is a story told from the outsider's view which works very well in this situation showing Cardiff after the Tsunami. It also does a pretty good job to show where everyone (almots everyone) of the main cast is at this point in time and the fallout of Eye Of The Storm. The voice actor of the mother did a really great job! But in general I prefer stories that center around the main characters, so I won't listen to this one very often I guess.
ScrapeJane - 3/5
I liked the general idea of the story and ScrapeJane was definitely very scary. So for the first half of the story I was certainly hooked and it was a good horror story. The second half wasn't so convincing. I really liked the parts about ng's own nightmares, but overall I lost track of the story. I also am not sure how they beat ScrapeJane in the end. Maybe it's not enough sci-fi and too much magic for me.
Day Zero - 4/5
We are back on the main storyline and it really punches you in the guts. The story just gets darker and more hopelessly by the minute. I really like how realistic it all feels... what would happen if the water runs out? I'm sure exactly this. Just look around how humanity fails in so many ways at all around us.
Thoughts & Prayers - 4/5
I had been wondering if BigFinish would manage to bring this epic story to a satisfying end and I have to say they did! It was epic, but still had enough room for all the characters to have great and emotional moments.

Torchwood Gods Among Us Part 3 - 3.125/5 stars
I think this set suffers from following such a status quo-changing and ambitious cliffhanger. It's so bleak and there isn't just the fun story that lightens up so that you can be calm for the heavier stuff. There's no Norton to make you laugh and all the characters really seem over it.
6.9 A Mother’s Son by Alexandria Riley - 3.5/5 stars
After Cardiff is destroyed in the last boxsets cliffhanger, a mother arrives to find her son who she finds out that he had died during the tsunami. In her quest, she brings down Torchwood. This one was fine. I liked it.
6.10 ScrapeJane by Robin Bell - 3/5 stars
A fake Eldrich horror is killing people. Colchester and Ng find a way to stop it. This one was fine.
6.11 Day Zero by Tim Foley - 4/5 stars
ACAB. Cardiff is struggling in the aftermath. And now the drinking water is gone. A nasty news crew is sensationalising the situation to make money. Orr starts to make water from their body to try to make everyone happy.
6.12 Thoughts and Prayers by James Goss - 2/5 stars
Andy becomes Mike Yates (from Invasion of the Dinosaurs). Um the plot was a bit of a mess and it fizzled out with no real conclusion and left it open for another series which was probably postponed due to a certain Torchwood actor being blacklisted from the BBC.
