I think it is the intent of the writers is that Jack is a really bad manager
Interesting. Well meaning but flawed nobility. I can see that.
Cacophony. That's pretty. What's it mean?

I thought it was Graham. Really, I have no idea what it was, but I thought I'd throw in that possibility.

Also, could have been "Greg" with an accent.

looked like a smaller hand holding a larger one in the flashback - which I'm not sure I want...
I kind of like the flawed leader thing - but it could get old. Gwen's meaningful looks are not growing on me. Well, sorta off and on.
Ianto was very funny. also, the fight scene? loved the way they handled that. could have done without the commercial commentary, though.

Oh, I had a thought. How did the blowfish know who they were and what their issues were/are? I'm assuming that the blowfish arrived first and found the first bit of the puzzle, but was he working with John, or was John following him for the diamond?

I thought he was working with John. . . but also - Torchwood seems to have a higher profile - - otherwise how would that little old lady know who they were? So, if he'd been there longer - he would have heard of them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My read was that things had gone to hell in a handbasket while Jack was away and that the old lady and the fugu guy's knowledge was symptomatic of that.
I also wondered if this Grah (I heard it as Graham, cut off) had anything to do with the best friend Jack watched killed when he was little. I mean, we know how little dead counts for.

I assumed that the blowfish was telepathic. Bu I think my mind tends to be forty per cent handwavium when watching tv lately...
