So Nora, what do you really think of Owen?
NASTY.
(oh, wait, that was rhetorical? I care not! NASTY!)
It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Chuck: Kareena is Sarah's sister, right? Or did I make that up?
You made that up. They just worked various missions together.

Owen had a "fuck" in that speech too, as I recall. Are they bleeping for language?Yes but it’s pretty obvious
I don't think I heard "fuck" but I heard all about screwing and coming. So NASTY out of Owen's NASTY little weasle mouth and troll brain.
I know! See, that could have been hot if, say, Jack was saying it. . . I’ll be in my bunk.
Even if that someone was Owen? C'mon now... you're in pain and Captain Logic has abandoned you and Owen's trying to touch you?
Fair point. But Gwen clearly doesn’t have any issues with Owen’s creepiness. Or maybe she’s hate-fucking him.
Also, I don't remember if it was clear before this episode that Owen was (or used to be) a full-fledged doctor.
I’m sure he failed “bedside manner” in med school.

Some of the supplemental material on the BBC Torchwood site (which is pretty cool) indicated, IIRC, that Owen was stripped of his license for questionable activities with patients. Or something along those lines.

Oh, I think she does. I'm guessing she's not going to be loving herself so much the morning after.

Hah! yeah.
OH! I had a Torchwood question from last week's episode. I thought they were supposed to be a sort of secret organization, right?
So, then why does their SUV have "Torchwood" etched on its side?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
So, then why does their SUV have "Torchwood" etched on its side?
Because they are DUMB. Also, in the Cyberwoman episode, didn't they let in that poor pizza delivery girl into their inner sanctum, casual as they please? Or am I misremembering again?

I think Lisa let her in, because the team had fled by that point, after leaving Lisa to be eaten by the pterodactyl.

Because they're badass.
I don't know that they're secret, exactly, because the local police seem to know that they exist. What people probably don't know is exactly what Torchwood's mission is.
