I didn't think I was going to like this episode, as I am no fan of Gwen (and there was A LOT of Gwen here). But to my surprise, Gwen didn't bother me as much in this ep as in "Something Borrowed" (which I think is the worst Torchwood episode ever, but that's a whole other post). I must admit that going against your boss' direct orders (several times!) is pushing it, and had her boss been anyone else but Captain Jack she'd have been fired on the spot, but I could understand where she was coming from. Yes, she was stuck on the idea that knowing what had happened was the best thing, but although she was wrong in the end, I think she persisted because she genuinely thought knowing would be best for the victims and their families. That's a reason I can live with, as opposed to doing it just because she wanted to know herself.
PC Andy. Oh, how I love PC Andy! Ah, yes, PC Andy is lovely. And the poor soul has, or at least had, a crush on Gwen. He's so sweet, and I'd like to see him more often.
Tell me to get visions of Jack/Andy slash out of my head, okay? Get them out of your head! And then you can get them out of my head too, 'cause you're the one that put them there!
Though Gwen says she trusts Jack (and she does) She does, but not enough. You'd think that after everything that's happened in two series, she'd know that when Jack tells her (orders her, in fact) to leave something alone, it isn't because he doesn't care, but because he knows something she doesn't, something that could be potentially dangerous or destructive. I'm not saying she should have dropped it altogether, because that's not in Gwen's nature, but maybe she should have approached things in a different manner.
Love Jack's body. Ooh, yes.
At last - beautiful Welsh scenery. Yes, that was great. I could almost smell the sea.
