Does this follow on neatly from the June date given in To the Last Man? Can it help us decide when "seven months" ago was? User: Stripey. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.102.93.19 (talk) 09:59, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Location

The asylum/home where Jonah and the others are kept looks like a real institution. Unless it was a very well-made set, I think it was a genuine location, does anyone here know where it was recorded? If so, please put it on the article. DavidFarmbrough (talk) 20:12, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nikki blaming Gwen?

Perhaps its because of the german dub, but it seems to me that Nikki blames Gwen for showing her, ruining her positive memories of her son. If so, I think it's noteworthy, as it's a rather cruel and unjust reaction of her.--Cyberman TM (talk) 18:52, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This review is transcluded from Talk:Adrift (Torchwood)/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Reviewer: Gen. Quon (talk · contribs) 17:15, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lede: "When bereaved mother Nikki Bevan (Ruth Jones) starts a support group for missing people Gwen..." Comma needed after 'people'
Lede: I'd add Jack's last name in the intro, same with plot, too
Plot: "...that all these..." Change 'these' to 'the'
Plot: "The two women postulate the implications of this, that the rift can take people away and discard them elsewhere." I think there should be a colon instead of a comma here
Production: ""Adrift" was produced as part of its own production block, block seven." Similarly, should be a colon
Production: "Unlike the rest of the episodes in the series this episode..." Comma after 'series'
Reception: "Ian Berriman of SFX rated the episode four and a half stars out of five feeling it to show..." -> "Ian Berriman of SFX rated the episode four and a half stars out of five and felt that it showed..."
Reception: "He felt a sequence where Gwen's husband Rhys "tears a strip off Gwen, then reminds her what Torchwood is fighting for" to be the episode's highlight." -> "He felt that the sequence where Gwen's husband Rhys "tears a strip off Gwen, then reminds her what Torchwood is fighting for" was the episode's highlight."
Reception: "He gave the episode four stars feeling..." Comma after 'stars'

That's all. On hold for seven days.--Gen. Quon (talk) 22:45, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Handled everything you raised. Thanks for the review! AOL TV refers to a different (now defunct) offshoot of the parent company and isn't anything to do with their TV reviews :-) Eshlare (talk) 23:18, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, didn't know that. Happy to pass now!--Gen. Quon (talk) 16:50, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
