NOTE: Spoilers ahead for those who haven't watched this episode I originally mis-heard the villain's name. It sounded to me like the "Tracer's Brigade" - not Trickster. However, the Tricksters Brigade was mentioned in Turn Left, in which Donna stayed with the Colosanto family (who were eventually sent to an internment camp). Angelo's last name was Colosanto. Coincedence ??? I do think we finally know the symbolism of the Triangle. When the three men agree to 'use Jack', they grab each other's arms forming a triangle. Whether they are working with Angelo, or as a separate entity is still to be determined. I did notice that Angelo used the phrase 'Blessing' in this episode. Given the dates in the episode, Angelo would be over 100 now. Another good episode DavidTony J Case said:I haven't seen the episode yet (and no, I'm not mad about spoilers, so don't panic) but man - I would have never thought that a Who Villain (well, more accurately a Sarah Jane Adventures villain - but close enough) would have been behind this! Just yesterday I was discussing Torchwood over Chinese and said to my dining companion "You know, I bet The Risen Mitten has something to do with this! But naw - RTD would never bring in a plot device from 5 years ago in an episode that nobody in the Starz viewing audience* would have seen. That way lies fanwank madness!" Guess I was proven wrong. The Trickster is even a MORE obscure villain/plot point than the Risen Mitten! *well, a statistically low number at least. Sure there are the established Who/TW fans who are watching - but I mean of the average, Not-We demographic. The majority of the Starz viewers would never know about old villains beyond perhaps Daleks and Cybermen.
