Spoilers - Owen Harper - Just in case you haven’t seen BBC3’s episode on 20th Feb 2008

So Owen Harper (played by Burn Gorman) has now joined the ranks of the undead. (video preview inserted to give spoiler space)

Having a strong liking for what started as a rather shallow character in series 1 of Torchwood and actually showing an amazing character development throughout the first series, I was a little amazed to see the character killed.

No I am not one for spoilers - so if anyone knows what happens to Owen in the rest of series 2 of Torchwood please do NOT let me know. But I will say that I can see the character now going in one of three directions

1) Undead Owen Harper. Unkillable but tormented (like Angel?)

2) Restored to full life. I would say this is boring, but I feel that there is enough depth to what is set up to be a shallow character to keep him of interest for the rest of this series and the next.

3) Dead, Deceased Owen. Thats it - after an episode or two his character is forgotten (or replaced)

I would prefer to see option 1 for atleast the next dozen episodes or more. Then followed by option 2 / 3 as another unkillable member of the team might start to drag and take the danger out of situations.
