Watched season 2 ep 3. Was not impressed. I actually *skipped ahead* a few times because the plot bored me so. The next episode looks promising, though.

*Nods.* I've been enjoying the season, but the only bit I remember amusing me in that particular episode was Jack's asking how they could fail with a dashing hero like him and Ianto saying they did have to admit he was dashing. Oh, that and when Owen reacted to it being the end of the world with "Lets all have sex," and Ianto said, "And I thought the end of the world couldn't get any worse." That's all I remember from the third episode.

LOL! I missed the dashing line. I think that the end of the world bit was from ep 1 or two. Whatever the case it goes to show how forgettable that episode was.

D'oh. The "dashing" bit and the "end of the world" bit were both from the second episode. I haven't got the episode order down yet. First episode is "Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang" with Captain John Hart which I enjoyed. Second episode is "Sleeper" which I didn't enjoy except for those two bits from it. The third episode was "To the Last Man" which I liked because it made me like Tosh more than I have, and because as much as I don't like Ianto I did enjoy his answering Jack's "Would you miss me?" with the same, "Yup," I did. The fourth episode is "Meat" and I'd guess Amanda means horrific in the "good horror-genre kind of way." How the alien in it is treated is "gut-wrenching."

Yep, that's exactly what I meant, beccadq. I can't get that episode out of my head. I think "Meat" is an episode I will never forget.

Thanks.

I'm not sure if I found the episode completely unforgettable, but I was glad to see an episode with the team caring about the fate of the alien instead of seeing it as a threat to be managed.

Interesting. I liked "Sleeper" much more than "To the Last Man" because I cared about sleeper chick. Frozen boy had difficult choices to make as well, but the resolution seemed inevitable. He had to go back, or the world (and the show) ends.

That said, it was good to see a Tosh-centric episode. I hope they explore why she's so insecure. Instead of showing us why she hides behind her work and woos frozen boy once each year, all we got was her angsting over frozen boy. *shrug*

I felt "Sleeper chick's" fate was just as inevitable as Tommy's and I didn't care for her anywhere near as much. I found Gwen's inability to see the inevitable in "Sleeper" far more annoying than I found Tosh's struggling with Tommy's inevitable fate.
