And reading the transcript is disheartening.
Yeah... :(

And why anyone, man or not, would think an elite soldier (and that is what they should see and understand her as) would consider wearing such an outfit is just ridiculous.
Well, it's supposed to be what's underneath the main casing. I can understand the concept, and it's not a bad one, they just shouldn't have gone for sexy as their leitmotif.

I can understand wanting to revoke images of sci-fi history, but it could have at least have been done well and it could have been done without the objectifying male gaze and it is possible to sexy without being largely naked.
To which the only reply is... Torchwood. To be fair, Torchwood was pretty equal opportunity, when it came to objectifying people, but that one went a bit too far.

Also re snogging Ianto back to life…I never understood why the both of them seemed to regard that as kiss in Countrycide….
They did? I remember Ianto saying that Lisa was the last person he kissed. Although it most definitely WAS a kiss (Jack/Ianto, I mean). Nothing close to CPR.

It makes no sense to me why they decided on only two seasons with the original team – I miss them!
Me too! *sad* RTD thought that Torchwood 'could be anything', but he was wrong. It worked very well as it was, and then he broke it.
