Torchwood has been keeping a WWI soldier in cryo-freeze since 1918, but they don't know WHY. There is a mysterious box with a temporal lock that will open when it's time for Tommy the soldier to do his "job". (interesting name since Brit soldiers from WWI were called 'Tommies') Tosh plays a vital part in this episode and we see much more of her personality come through. An episode of true heroism and noble sacrifice on more than one character's part.
Hey, it was nicer to pull a cute soldier out of the morgue than pulling Suzie out! (Ok, I loved the episode with Suzie, but still...) Jack spills a small bit of his past to Gwen, a part we already knew - that he was alive during WWI.
Torchwood just keeps getting better and better, mainly because it's character driven. This situation affects each Torchwood member in its own way. And Tommy is anything but a cardboard cut-out character. Emotion is squeezed from every second of this plot, without it being forced, fake, or over the top.
Excellent third episode. Looking forward to more. Blessed RTD for coming up with this ahead of its time idea.
