The team go to LA
Tweekums5 August 2011
Warning: Spoilers
As this series continues things seem to be getting worse for humanity; with nobody dying there are reports of outbreaks of serious diseases like typhoid around the US. Jack and his team leave Washington to investigate PhiCorp in Los Angeles. Here they intend to trick their way into PhiCorp's server room to steal one of the servers than they believe will lead them to just who is running PhiCorp and what they have to do with Miracle Day. Their task isn't made easier by family problems which may lead them into danger. While the Torchwood team are in LA Oswald Danes is finding his positioned in the spotlight threatened by a Tea Party politician leading a 'dead is dead' campaign.

This series continues to maintain the viewers' interest by ratcheting up the tension and putting Jack and Gwen in direct danger from a hit-man who knows far more about Miracle Day than anybody encountered before. The secondary plot with Danes remains interesting; Mare Winningham made a good rival for his publicity but somehow I doubt she will feature too much in future. While there was nothing overly gruesome shown there were a couple of wince inducing moments where nasty things happened just out of view.

One MAJOR oversite

Warning: Spoilers
So this global pharmaceutical company has set all of this up and the secure server that only the highest at the company have access to is accessible using the biometrics of a guy who has NO SECURITY!!! This is the mother of all oversights if you're doing what this company is allegedly doing. Even though Torchwood gets the biometrics in a very gentle way, the guy in the dark parking garage that this walking key is in, does not. But even Torchwood's methods would have been sniffed out had there been even a mediocre security detail watching Mr. Nicholas Frumpkin, as there most certainly would be in this scenario. I know, the building has security, but that doesn't explain leaving the key under the mat...
