2) Owen is Making An Effort To Be Nice, at least to Tosh. I think he really does like her, but he's only good at picking ppl up in bars and inadvertently falling in love. But he's smart enough to know that intense snark won't do him any good with Tosh, and he doesn't want to hurt her feelings. He's not very good at Being Caring (in comparison to Jack), but it's still a tremendous improvement. I'm excited for him, actually. And unlike Jack and Ianto, Tosh and Owen are both in a very similar place, in terms of emotional experience.
3) Well, I was wondering if Tosh would pull some kind of impulsive Gwen trick; very relieved that she didn't.
4 and 5 and 18) I should pay more attention to the background. Embryonic TARDIS? I didn't miss the wristband, what with the kiss with Ianto if nothing else, but why wouldn't Jack wear it?
8) I think Tommy worked, in the story. Ordinary person in extraordinary circumstances who has to do something hard. I really liked his instant connection with Tosh, how he trusted her - and in many ways, she's the most trustworthy one on the team, which I like to see as a Tosh thing instead of a Model Minority thing. Tosh wouldn't have left a team she was leaving without a word of warning or explanation - she'd at least have arranged some kind of message, should she be unexpectedly called away.
The position Tosh was put in was interestingly difficult, underlying plot was solid if unspectacular.
10) Misgivings?
11) Actually, I wondered why Gwen was acting like a stereotypical Person in a Haunted, who is surprised and confused by the ghosts, when she was expecting to see ghosts and when she's seen weirder and more threatening things, and acted much more calmly. Gwen was blah, except for her frozen boys line ; )
