This is a cool episode. I wonder if they will remember all of this when it's over.
Well, that answers that.
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Burn Gorman is absolutely brilliant in his transformation. Truly amazing. I know it's called acting, but he sure knows how to do it.
Indeed. Geeky Owen was hysterical. I actually kinda wish he could have stayed around. I'm also curious if Owen SHOULD wear glasses, but chooses to get along without.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Or wears contacts.

Oh, of course. Duh. I never think of contacts because I can't get around the squick of them for me (eye issues), which is why I've always worn glasses.

I'm very annoyed at BBC-America because their timing cut off the show just as Jack was pouring sand out of the box. Very likely that WAS the last shot, but then we also missed the promos. Feh.
Also, while Torchwood took the 48-hour Amnesia Cure, Rhys sure didn't, and wouldn't he be asking Gwen what happened to that nice Owen chappie who was so helpful? Not to mention still being kind of upset about Gwen forgetting him and so on?

The sand pouring was the last scene. I didn't watch the BBCA version so I don't know what they cut.
Again with the Poor Tosh. I really hope she gets a happy that lasts someday. Likely Rhys is used to odd, and they promised to make her right, so her forgetting she had forgotten him wouldn't be out of line.

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

That was my assumption too.

Rewatching the last 15 minutes of Meat reminded me that Owen was a big damn hero with the sedation, and unusually human with his reactions. It's almost like they want me to like him before they kill him. Love Rhys and Gwen at the end. World of awwww.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, but wasn't the whole existence of the alien based on him existing in people's memories, which he would still, if barely, in Rhys'?
Possible I missed some stuff, because I am sick in bed.
Irritated at the poor Tosh stuff. Sleep with someone who's not an alien, Tosh!
Also, freeing Owen of his cynicism makes his vision bad? Personal hot button, but I hate that glasses are the only signifier of weakness.

Heh. I like the theory (too lazy to page back) that Owen always needs glasses, but he's too concerned with his own self-image the rest of the time to wear them.
