Hahaha. This is Torchwood. Much as I've learned to like the gang this season, they aren't so good with practicality. Or logic.
Or interpersonal communications.

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.

Hey, with all the lost time with Adam and Rift adventures and whatnot, I'm not surprised if their logic (and brains) have a few holes in them by now.

I still don't get why Adam's insertion into Gwen's memories would require her to forget someone she's spent a substantial portion of every day with since long before she became involved with Torchwood. I suspect he erased Rhys from her mind just to be sadistic.

Seeing Alexander Siddig's name there made me laugh because I had so much trouble telling Siddig and James Callis apart at the beginning. Not only did they look similar, but they were both Dr. B!

He probably didn't realize that she had a home life.

Richard Dawkins is going to guest star on Doctor Who next season!
(The article is just about the most incoherently written thing ever, but I figured I should provide a link if I was reporting news.)
[eta that there are some spoilers towards the end]

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Does the article mention who Richard Dawkins is married to?

Naturally:
He didn't have the nerve to ask the professor to slip on a latex mask, it seems: Dawkins will appear as himself. "His wife, [the actress] Lalla Ward, used to be a companion of the Doctor. The gays loved her."

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
It does, Tom.
(And the spoiler at the end made me go HA! Also, a note to the 'phobic: Said spoiler is alluded to in the title of the episode in question, so if you're quite sensitive, you'll get unwanted hints from the likes of episode lists for part of the season. Forewarned, etc.)

Ann, that's a ferret.
Non-spoilery bit from Jessica's link:
Davies was born not too far from the birthplace of Tommy Cooper in South Wales, and seems to have borrowed his chuckle from that melancholy-jolly comic.
It's probably just coincidence, but interesting parallel with Gwen Cooper.
