"Are you always this dressy for a murder investigation?"
"What, you'd rather me naked?"
"God help me, the stories are true."
-- DS Kathy Swanson and Captain Jack Harkness, Torchwood: "They Keep Killing Suzie"
Hello again, everyone! My partner in time Jesse Jackson and I are back with a new episode of Next Stop Everywhere: The Doctor Who Podcast! This time, Torchwood Month returns as we discuss "They Keep Killing Suzie", the eighth episode from Torchwood Series One in 2006, featuring John Barrowman as Captain Jack Harkness, Eve Myles as Gwen Cooper, Yasmin Bannerman as DS Kathy Swanson, and the return of Indira Varma as Suzie Costello!
In this episode, Jesse and I discuss things like not having a special guest companion, Jesse playing on the disabled list, getting more backstory about ex-Torchwood member Suzie Costello, Indira Varma reprising Suzie Costello in Big Finish audio adventures, my being a Mission: Impossible movies, Yasmin Bannerman as Seventh Doctor companion Roz Forrester, The Avengers episode "They Keep Killing Steed", original plans to have Suzie come back in Series Two, Emily Dickinson's poetry, DS Kathy Swanson having zero time for Torchwood, Jack having to ask DS Swanson and the police for help getting out of their own headquarters, Jack's easy decision to try and kill Suzie, the initial reaction to Torchwood being for older audiences instead of the whole family, Tosh calling out Suzie for dishonoring Torchwood, Team Torchwood feeling guilty because they like Suzie's replacement Gwen better than Suzie, Suzie's insane arranged plan to have someone kill innocent people to manipulate Torchwood into bringing Suzie back to life, Suzie manipulating Gwen into taking her to see her dying father so she could kill him, Gwen realizing that Suzie is stealing her life energy like a Silver Age comics supervillain, wondering why the Resurrection Gauntlet exploded when Tosh shot it, Suzie's ominous warning for Jack, our favorite quotes of the episode, my Reverse the Polarity segment, new feedback from Holly Mac and Dave Proctor, psychotic fans issuing death threats against Wyatt Russell for replacing Captain America, our three attempts to finish recording this episode, and more!
