Oh the cellular.... we are talking a "Torchwood" phone aren't we? One that pulls a signal out while in an underground tunnel? If you prefer a more reality based idea, an attic antenna and repeater system is not hard to do if you want to spend the time and money and that boosts the signal level from a 250mW level of a handheld to a full 5 Watt system.
Episode 2 fell on a holiday weekend that competed with the theatre release of Deathly Hallows Part 2. I have a feeling that many, such as myself, recorded it to watch later and that will skew the viewer numbers. I finally got a chance to watch Episode 2 after dinner on Monday.
All in all, I prefer the episodes from Cardiff. The Starz network so far is very full of special effects, guns, and explosions but very short on plot development. Both of the first episodes feel like they should be a half hour of story but filling up an hour with a series of big badda booms.

Camelot's been axed 
Damn I was getting into it, typical I sometimes feel like the DEATH of shows
Second episode of Torchwood didn't seem as slow to me and the 'head on backwards bit' was brilliant!

From Spoilertv.com:
Camelot is now officially cancelled, Starz decided not to pick up the show for a second season, 3 weeks after the airing of the 10th episode and season One finale, now series finale.
The reasons of this cancellation are unclear but while the ratings weren't so bad, the production costs in Ireland were probably too high to keep the show going under the circumstances (Camelot often had mixed or bad reviews).
