I thought it was a good episode. Nothing more however cause there wasn't much drama.

It seems that week after week I am amazed by the originality of Torchwood and this episode didn't dissapoint. I especially enjoyed the effects of when she pulls out that soldiers heart.

After finally watching it last night, I can say that I very much enjoyed this one. I thought the writing was very well done for all the characters, especially Tosh. Interesting to note it was done by the author of "School Reunion" from Doctor Who series two. Anyway, I gave this one a 9/10 because I think it deserved it.
Oh, and did anyone notice that Jack was just full of awesomeness for the entire episode?

I gave this a 9, much better episode than last week, I think the cast gave their best performances of the lot, especially John Barrowman. Though he is one of my favourite actors so I could be slightly biased ![Stick Out Tongue](http://forums.dannystewart.com/images/smilies/toung.gif) .

To be honest I'm not surprised that this episode was so good - I just discovered that it is the first (and unfortunately, only) episode this season written by Toby Whithouse, who also wrote the brilliant Doctor Who episode School Reunion.

" Greeks Bearing Gifts"
Nice pun
Sorry, I just had to say this before he edits it... (hah, as if he would have ![Stick Out Tongue](http://forums.dannystewart.com/images/smilies/toung.gif) )
I'd have done the poll myself but I'm a bit ill at the moment. ![Frown](http://forums.dannystewart.com/images/smilies/sad.gif) As always, I'll watch the Ep tomorrow on BBC 2 and let you know. I'm really missing out on my weekly Spooks dosage so Torchwood will have to be even better to make up for it.

He just kept talking in one long incredibly unbroken sentence moving from topic to topic so that no one had a chance to interrupt him it was really quite hypnotic.
*Officially the most likeable person since the last one*

I like the fact that each cast ember has a pretty much even part.

That keeps him mysterious, which I imagine is what the writers want.
Oh, also, did anyone feel incredibly painfully sorry for Ianto in this one? I felt awful about how he felt so much pain all the time.
