What's it called?
"Reset"
Who's it credited to?
JC Wilsher, writer (The Bill, Daziel and Pascoe) and Ashley Way, director ("End of Days", "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang")
What do we know?
Martha Jones joins Torchwood for a three episode arc! Here, she's brought in by Jack to investigate a series of mysterious deaths, that all link back to a drugs testing clinic...
Major guest stars?
How about this for a line-up - Freema Agyeman as "Martha Jones", and Ugly Betty's Alan Dale playing the sinister Copley.
Reviewing the reviews
Excellent! There's a feeling that Martha Jones fits in much better with the Torchwood team than she ever did with the Doctor and his TARDIS. And landing Alan Dale as a guest star is a major coup - and there's a hint of a very shocking twist in the tale...
When's it on?
Tonight, BBC Two @ 9pm. It'll show tomorrow (again on BBC Two) from 7pm.
What about America?
"Reset" should air on BBC America Saturday 1st March, at 9pm. The BBC America schedule can be found here. You can also catch the episode in High Definition - on HD-Net - March 17th.
Look to the future...
Next week there's a chance to see a "Dead Man Walking", as the team attempt to come to terms with recent events... And then, in "A Day in the Death", Owen Harper seeks absolution; but is it too late to help him?
Excitement level?
***** - This is it; the episode we've all been waiting for, ever since it was first announced last year that Martha Jones would be joining the team. Hopefully they'll be some nice, juicy conversation between her and Boe... sorry, Jack. And from what I hear, her arrival sets up a brilliant, epic three part story arc. Bring it on!

Well I thought that Owen's death was decidedly lacklustre.... I don't know if it's cos I knew it was going to happen (Thanks to Torchwood.tv) but Burn didn't milk it enough for my liking!!!
No way. I didn't know it was going to happen, so it came completely out of the blue, and the fact that it was so downplayed made it all the more shocking, and real. Death leaves a horrid sense of anti-climax (to put it mildly) and disbelief, not a sense of calm closure. I thought it was really well done.
So Owen wasn't dead after all, the undead monkey had a fight with death. He became an undead monkey vampire and ate a pile of bones.
(VAMPIRE Ohh! Ohh! Ahh! Ahh!)
