I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
The Adama/Roslin scene just about broke me. Adama is mean when he's drunk.
I know! He made her effin cry. Roslin crying is almost as sad as Scully crying.

Just watched Torchwood and saw the teaser for next week. All I can say is that hell hath no fury.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

It's entirely possible, I just don't think we have enough information to assume that.

Ann, that's a ferret.
My observations about TW on BBCA:
Bisexuality, at the least, has been a part of Torchwood for a long time. ("He's very pretty. But not as pretty as you.")
Little girl -- freaky. Beyond that, I got nothing.
Tosh's was the story that got to me. Being blackmailed into spying by people that kidnaped her mother. (Though if I were in Jack's position, I'd have held out the possibility that she would be able to see her mother.)
Sexual tension between Jack and Ianto almost since word one. Though an ideal origins story (okay, not limited to an hour) would have said something about how Ianto got involved in London Torchwood.
Rhys was there, even if he didn't really have anything to do with the framing story. (Although in fairness, the framing story was very minimal.) I suspect that will be a dilemma for Jack down the road -- a civilian who not only knows but plays a role in Torchwood's activities.

I think that it's going to be more of a problem for Gwen. There was a throwaway bit with Rhys saying to Gwen "this could have been you". I think that he's really going to grok how dangerous Torchwood is, and want her to quit because of that.
Also -- Capt. John? Seriously unbalanced.

In fairness, it seems -- reading between the lines of past episodes -- that Jack has long-since relaxed his restrictions on Tosh. She was headed to a family reunion before being sucked back in time to the '40s.
That being said, I'm forced to think about the bit with Tosh seeing a vision of her mother at the end of last season -- I think it's officially unclear whether her mother died sometime between Tosh joining and the series beginning, or if she reacted so viscerally because she doesn't see her often, if at all. The events revealed in this episode certainly add a lot to that one.

I'd completely forgotten about that. Oh yeah, that does make things very interesting.
