Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang

Ahhh, Torchwood.  I'm so happy to have it back.  I needed some good, wholesome crack in my life.  It's even better than Heroes.  I have no appropriate icon, so I'll use David Anders because he's pretty and he can't die, either.

Before I get snarky, let me say that I only snark because I love.  If I didn't enjoy the show, I wouldn't bother watching it. 

Although we'll never see it, I think it would be terribly amusing to see the Doctor meet the Torchwood crew.  "This is what you made in my image?"  Someone needs to write that.  Not me.

1. I did the "Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope" routine about twenty seconds before Hart did.  Snort.  Nice.

2.   Poisoned lip balm?  Uh, okay.  I had to pause the show while I laughed my ass off and did my best Auric Goldfinger impression.  Is it necessary for every villain to leave their victims incapacitated and facing a slow death?  (This is part of the reason I loved the Master's disappearance in the TARDIS at the end of Utopia so much.)

3.  We saw Rhys, and not his bare ass.  Thank God for that.

4.  If Jack said no to the Doctor's invitation, he sure as shit wasn't going to say yes to Hart.  Uh-hunh.

5.  As for Jack's rather spectacular death: I think I tried to do a backbend like that in yoga class once and couldn't stand up straight for a week.

6.  Why didn't someone just cut Hart's hand off?  I heard someone suggest it although I didn't catch who.  I suppose it avoids the overly complicated resolution.  Did Owen and Jack really have time to mix up a martini a blood concoction and then arrive just in the nick of time to save Gwen?

7.  They chased the blowfish who was kind enough to let the old lady cross the street down and then they just let Hart go?  Don't they have a whole dungeon to play with?  (Yes, Ianto, I'm looking at you.)

7. I know they're going for a Doctor vs. Master thing with Jack and John, and for the most part it's working, but couldn't he have just escaped on his own without them letting him go? Surely it couldn't have been that hard for him to do, just make a dash for the rift.

True, but then he wouldn't know where/when he'd end up, and there was the teeny matter of the bomb. Wonder what poor bunch of slobs got a bomb rudely tossed at them?
