rm | Torchwood, season 2

Meat

What the fuck was up with Jack? Between his emotional response to the creature, which I really liked (also note his calling it "friend" -- Face of Boe moment for me), to his wacked out moodiness about Gwen -- he was just so fragile all episode. What the hell?

Also all the looks everyone gave everyone else during the "well, it's impossible to have a relationship and work at Torchwood" was really funny. Ianto and his beer! And Jack's smug little nod at him!

And then Jack being all telling Gwen she can stand down because she loves Rhys and that's difficult and it's like oh, right, Jack, you're special, you're the only one who can deal with people you care about being in danger -- like I get that Jack has this long string of war-time boyfriends behind him, but way to go asshole with the doublestandard. I imagine Ianto was not impressed.

The creature was very very sad and very very disturbing.
