The real problem I have with this episode is... it turned out Suzie had a lot of it planned? Like the guy Max being caught and locking up Torchwood, but... how and why? Surely she wasn't planning on dying, and if she was why would she have reason to believe her eventual resurrection would last longer than a minute? | The real problem I have with this episode is... it turned out Suzie had a lot of it planned?

Boy, they really revealed Suzie to be nasty, didn't they? Before, we knew she killed a few people... but in a twisted way it was for a good cause, and early in this episode it's suggested the glove might've had a corrupting influence. However, it turns out she'd been manipulating people for years and planning a series of gruesome murders just to posthumously get her coworkers' attentions. | |||
So now not only Gwen/Owen, but... Jack/Ianto? What a wacky show. | So now not only Gwen/Owen, but... Jack/Ianto? What a wacky show. | ||

(First watched 2007-11-10) Nice. An episode of a completely different pace. No threat but getting attached to three people out of their times. | |||
But damn, the writers must not be able to figure out how to use Toshiko, she's easily behind Jack, Gwen, and Owen in attention. Hell, maybe even Ianto. | |||

(First watched 2007-11-17) Weevil Fight Club? Oookay. | |||
Gwen admitting her infidelity to Rhys in hopes of forgiveness while simultaneously giving him an amnesia pill? He was right to call her a selfish bitch. | |||

(First watched 2008-01-13) Though this episode predates it, the time travel aspects of this episode remind me a bit of a dialed-down [[Doctor Who Series 3|Blink]]. | |||
So I was surprised to see that the episode wasn't named after ''Torchwood'''s Captain Jack, but the Captain Jack he ripped the name off of. Considering his omnisexuality, though, it seemed surprising that Torchwood-Jack seemed blind to how gay Original-Jack was for him. | |||
So what was this Bilis up to? He quite clearly knew about them and was playing them, so I'm going to guess the repercussions of messing with that Rift Machine will be in the next episode. | |||
I noticed some "Vote Saxon" papers on a wall, as well as some Bad Wolf graffiti. | |||

(First watch4ed 2008-01-20) What a dense episode, and I mean that in the good way. Enough shittons going on that it felt like a two-parter condensed into one. People popping up from all of time, Bilis being some crazy time-traveling Abadon worshiper, Rhys getting a hell of a short end of the stick, bubonic plague! It just seemed a bit much that in the middle of this shitstorm they had to stop and have breaks to snipe at each other. | |||
The solution was also a bit convenient. Opening the rift seemed to undo all the "little" things in exchange for releasing bigass Abadon, who was then... gotten rid of by sucking too much life out of Jack? So not much in the way of long-term consequences. | |||
The very end with the hand was nice as well, though of course I [[Doctor Who Series 3|already know what that was leading to]]. | |||
