I loved the Jack/Ianto moment, I thought that was really nice. 
I found it pointless and added nothing to the overall story line, I felt it was just inserted for the hell of adding in a little gay moment.
I have no objections to them getting together but creating a scene like that just for the hell of it is a completely pointless exercise IMO and was unneeded.
That scene could have been put in another episode where one or the other was off to do something daring that they may not return from.
I thought it fitted in that episode quite well, seeing as that frozen guy was going back home and Toshiko was a bit down about this, Ianto was probably wondering what he'd do if Jack went home. It didn't do much for the episode storyline but it was nice to have some Jack/Inato progression after Jack asks Ianto out on a date in the first episode and then nothing happens in the second.
Oh, and the colour of my highlights has nothing to do with the contents hidden in them, it's just more interesting than black.

Another really good one 2nite. I think the stories that Davies isn't writing are the best ones.

I really didn't like this episode
Obvious gay agenda eating meat "gag" by Jack. If I'm honest if this had been on any other show where gay references weren't so rife it would have been an obvious and mildly amusing gag. In Torchwood it was an obvious "gag" inserted for an obvious reason.
The story was largely poor the only redeeming elemint IMO was the fact that Rhys now knows what Gwen does for a living and that opens a new risk factor for a loved one.

What the heck is the 'gay agenda'? Seriously. It seems to be just a nonsense term used by homophobes as if there's some big conspiracy going on, or so it seems.
Master-FatBurt: No offence, but I'm left wondering why you watch it as all you seem to do is complain about how you don't like it.
Completely unrelated to that, I'm very much in agreement with SithLordDarthRichie.

I'm no homophobe.
I really like Torchwood as well (not the last episode mind) my main gripe is that since RTD took over Dr Who and started Torchwood there has been an overly obvious gay reference in Torchwood and some Dr who.
Maybe I'm an old fuddy (29) but for me Dr Who should have NO romance element at all except for a faint allusion to the companion fancying the Dr.
Torchwood with it being new and more "adult" can cover more adult themes and include romance/sex but ther appears to be a gay message in every episode and it's just not necessary.
RTD is (I understand) a gay activist and while I feel that homosexuals need equal rights in all manners of life, I don't think he needs to emphasise his agenda in every programme he makes

Agreed. The old series Doctors never decended into such things, just because current Doctors are younger doesn't mean they should.
Companions are there to ask the questions we want to know (what is that, who are they etc) and to assist the Doctor, not be his love interest and diverge from the fun of the stories and aliens.
He has always cared greatly for his friends, but he went a bit overboard with Rose I felt.
As for Torchwood - Is it me or is Jack much more no nonsense then he was last series?

But then Torchwood is Torchwood and not Dr Who. Of course Torchwood is going to have some homosexual stuff in it, two of the main characters are gay (and Jack was gay in Dr Who so it's not like it was unexpected) so you can't really avoid it.

I don't see how Ianto is gay seeing how his ex-girlfriend was the Cyberwoman. And Jack is supposed to be "omni-sexual", which means he can get off with a girl once in a while.

I agree and accept that Torchwood will cover more adult themes but I don't feel it's necessary to throw in obvious homsexual remarks/jokes in a purely throwaway way. I feel the same regarding pointless heterosexual references.
Sometimes it's just not needed.
