I personally think they eat the kids...like caviar. Maybe Jack figured that out at some point and figured a handful of kids would be a good peace offering and get the aliens to think of us as nice people and not want to stomp us flat (agreeing with lefaym in the "protection money" thought). And maybe they decided that handful tasted far too good and decided to make an entire meal of it this time rather than a small appetiser.
Then again, maybe the aliens are actually good...and they're just using the kids to study because their race has no future or something. speculations...speculations.... Now that I could totally understand just handing over a bunch of children, and deciding that it would benefit the future).
But yes, really makes you wonder on the details of the uses on the contact lenses. And if Lois knew what the others use them for would she have been as willing to put them on?
Though Rhys put himself back on my bad side by going back to his usual whining about why Gwen never tells him stuff first. Honestly, I'm so tired of it, though right before he took himself down several notches in my book, he was actually on the rise in that scene sounding like he was nearly a member of Torchwood. And Jack totally knew what he was doing letting it slip he had heard first,...that smug smirk as soon as Gwen had stomped off.
