I think this is great but would like to add a few things.

Everything Changes
She got a man killed because she wouldn't listen or pay attention to all the "Keep Out" signs. Also, I don't think she's resistant to retcon. Her memory was jogged when she was delivering coffee and saw an exact drawing of the ALIEN weapon. (I still want to know how they got an exact description of alien tech)

Day One
Where did she get off telling more experienced agents that they shouldn't be using other agencies' systems or accusing them of not helping Carys just because they were having lunch?

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
I don't think Gwen was in charge. Maybe in her own mind but I don't see any of them following her orders. Especially after the "grieving widow" crap she pulled before Jack woke up.

Re Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, I think the rest of the team let Gwen think she was in charge, mainly because they had actual work to do and she didn't.

I believe that too. What does she actually do in series 1 and 2? I don't recall seeing or hearing her liasioning with the police. And her 2 or 3 attempts at profiling were laughable. Not to mention does she even know how to work a computer? When she did her thing in Day One and Adrift she printed all these pictures up in haphazard fashion without any notes and still didn't seem to know what she was doing.

At the end of Everything Changes when Suzie is holding the gun on Gwen, she confessing to leaking the info on the knife to the police.

Ok, it's been awhile since I've seen it. Leaking info is one thing but the drawing was so exact what did she do? Send them a picture? Even with leaked information they shouldn't have been able to draw the precise weapon down to the most intricate detail.
