The thing about Azkedeliah - to me, is that she resembles any number of women in Flash Gordon and that just prejudices me against her.
I realize that the actress isn't actually in Flash Gordon but it's an irrational thing.
Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

Poor Ronan.
Saved by the chance to do violence.
He already had the chance to do violence where it would do the most good—removing Walter from the Stargate shows forever!

I thought the payoff of Abadon was lamer than an lame thing at lametime.
I thought it was lamer than that, on a show that leans on "scientific" or "alien" causes for events. It was like they opened the rift and Cthulu and the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man jumped out.

I liked Owen's reaction to seeing Jack again.

I enjoyed the Torchwood. I thought Gwen's happiness with Rhys at the beginning and her loss at his death was very Whedonesqe or Minearish.

I missed Gwen's reaction to Rhys' death (I changed the channel) but I'd seen it before and what I liked was how raw it was and how real. They are definitely not worried about looking pretty during grief.

I agree. The characters just seem to be pretty raw, that makes Brit TV so much more satisfying than most US TV.

I also liked Jack quietly washing the blood off of Gwen's fingers while she is sitting next to Rhys in the torhwood morgue.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The big monster bit of the finale was pretty said, but there's some great character stuff. Everything surrounding Rhys' death, Owen's eviction from Torchwood, Owen shooting Jack, everyone's reaction to Jack's resurrection. (Jack and Ianto making out.)

Jack got some serious snogging in these last two episodes.
