They do??? Really? How odd. It's been awhile so I don't remember it that well, but I'm pretty sure I found it one of the stronger season one episodes? Not my ~favorite, but definitely above average. It's a good episode for Gwen, if I recall correctly. And I definitely found 'because it made me happy' one of the most chilling moments of classic Torchwood. (I watched the Declassified on this one too, and most of the actors seemed to agree.)
The Welsh stereotyping, I'll admit, went straight over my head, so I'll grant anyone that who found it offensive on that front. I suppose if it was an American show we'd set the episode in the Appalachian mountains . . .
