This episode of Torchwood was actually pretty good. It follows the concept of reading into everyone's mind, but has an interesting take on it, mainly due to the idea of the moral guilt of invading people's private thoughts. It's interesting, as throughout the episode the amulet achieves mostly good. It stops the murder of a family, it prevents Owen from doing anything stupid in the hostage situation, and grants Toshiko a wider knowledge of her team around her. Yet, because of Toshiko's morally rigid code, she views it as bad, and is weighed down by the guilt stopping someone from having privacy, as well as feeling like she is a God.
Toshiko is interesting in this episode. So far in Torchwood, we know so little about her, as the show has only ever focused on Gwen and Captain Jack. The viewer really gets a grasp of her loneliness, and her inability to connect with everyone around her. Probably the best episode in Torchwood so far.
