In Your Only Memory.
SOMEBODY NEEDS TO WRITE A TORCHWOOD AND SILENT HILL CROSSOVER RIGHT NOW.
That was rather more horrific than things I would usually watch (the bit before the opening credits was horrible. Gaaaah). It had terrifically suspenseful shooting (er, I mean camera-wise. The shooting with guns was not particularly suspenseful). I thought that the opening was very good, but that it sort of lost its way towards the end.
When Ianto and Jack remained behind after the 'who did you last snog?' conversation, looking at each other, do you think it was Jack feeling sorry for him, or guilt from the Cyberwoman incident, or Jack thinking 'you dirty liar, your last snog was me'?
I would rather like it if Ianto got over his Immense Angst and started being quietly longsuffering and witty again, please.
Owen is such a git. Such a git. And there was that Jack torture thing, and, you know, in most things you'll get the impression that the protagonists, although they have some flaws, are basically good. In Torchwood, you feel that the main characters - or quite a few of them, at least - are a bundle of flaws with some stray good qualities. Having your 'heroes' be fundamentally unlikeable or severely flawed in some other way is a brave thing to do, I think. It's similar in House: the characters don't just have few minor flaws; they are deeply and fundamentally flawed and their flaws form a large part of their character.
AHAHAHA THEY GOT THEIR VAN STOLEN. WORST TEAM EVER.
I became sick of flesh-stripped bodies very quickly. It didn't take long for me to start thinking 'wait, they said there had been seventeen disappearances, right? Are they going to show all seventeen?' Fortunately, however, they did not.
It took me an embarrassingly long time to work out that the 'monsters' were actually humans and not just aliens who looked like humans. Ahem.
THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH RHYS. NOT NEARLY ENOUGH RHYS. RHYS DID NOT HAVE A SINGLE LINE. HAVE MORE RHYS, TORCHWOOD. I use the 'CHEATING ON MY WIFE' icon in honour of poor betrayed Rhys. Yes, I know that it is not entirely appropriate to the situation.

Hell, he had placed meeting 'Jacquline' on his best moments list. He always knew he would look stunning as a woman.
You are an utter, utter genius.
For probably the first time in his life Jack Harkness felt physically ill at the very thought of sex.
I have to thank you for this, because I don't think I'd have been able to stomach Jack/Angela. It's one of the only Captain Jack pairings that I just can't endure the thought of. And smiling at her and squeezing her hand and oh, he is lovely. I love the relationship between the two of them here.
