Depth of relationships

Revisado: 10-21-16

What made the experience of listening to Torchwood: The Dead Line the most enjoyable?

We always knew how Ianto felt about Jack, but not always how Jack felt about Ianto. It was beautiful to find that out at the end. But Ianto's pain at seeing Jack in a trance-like state was unbearable.

The fact that the "virus" was transmitted through telephones, especially when everyone lives on their phones all day long, was frightening. And, adding that it was a type of "virus" also connected to the use of computer software in today's world. This type of thing could really happen. Hummmmm. Very interesting.

What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The voices of the Torchwood team make it almost viewable. You can almost experience them on the screen in front of you even though it's only audible. Inflections in the voice translate into drama that you can feel. Sometimes novels cannot portray that much emotion.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The part where Ianto opens up and tells Jack how he really feels and the possibility of loosing him one day was heartbreaking. But Ianto tells Jack believing that Jack can't hear him. These two don't talk to each other much or not much about their relationship at any rate.

Any additional comments?

Can't believe I'm talking about love between two men, but it is portrayed so beautifully that your heart aches for them. Maybe one day we'll be able to put aside the stigma's of homosexuality and just call it what it is - love between two people.

The way that Gwen orders Reese around is interesting, but Reese isn't just a follower, he helps Gwen along the way - two very important pieces to a good marriage, even though you belong to a secret organization trying to save the world in the 21st Century.

Gwen and Reese have had many ups and downs throughout the Torchwood series but it's nice to know that after all this time, they are still very much together.
