Very cute.
I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

I think that it wasn't a real invitation, it was a dismissal,
That was exactly my take as well.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
But Jack's "I know best, and you need know nothing" management style really irked me.
Yeah. I mostly wanted to smack him in the head with a two by four for that. I mean, he KNOWS Gwen was not going to let go. Her tenaciousness and her compassion were the qualities he recruited her to TW for, fer crying out loud. Of course, the condescension was paralleled in Gwen's treatment of Andy, so this might have been intentional, but still.
I still think Rhys doesn't have the temperament to be married to someone in law enforcement.
I'm a bit "OMG Gwen + Rhys OTP!!" when it comes to these two (they are pretty much the only romantic relationship I'm invested in on the show) so I might be biased, but I think Rhys adds a terrific deal of balancing sanity to the show. He's good for Gwen. I buy his exasperation with her, but at the end, he always ends up supporting her emotionally. Without him, Gwen would be a lot more broken than she is now.

Absolutely. And she would have hit a dead end and it would have been a non issue if Ianto hadn't gotten involved.
Oh, and did anyone else see the enormous plot hole in that Gwen's access code got her into the facility? Shouldn't Jack and Ianto been the only ones who could get in?

When they were having sex? Oh, they so totally planned to get caught at some point.

No, I mean when Gwen first found the facility on the island. She said that her authorization was Torchwood something something something. You'd think that it wouldn't work.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

The whole island thing was great foreshadowing for Jack getting back bug fuck crazy Gray.

Ann, that's a ferret.

It's only "getting caught" if you don't want anyone to walk in on you.
And while I agree that Rhys keeps Gwen grounded in a real world, he needs to realize that she isn't working a 9-5 job. And that she can't know in advance when 5 will be 7, or 11, or next Wednesday. Though she should have called him so he could make other plans.

but her job may prevent her from doing that. Better way to deal with it would be for her to call to confirm plans. If she doesn't call, then it's off and he can make other plans.
