They had something there. It was totally unpredictable. Completely out of the left field. It left you flailing at the screen and wondering what sort of drugs the writers were on when they came up with this, but still, it was exciting. Yes, exactly.
I think what was most disturbing about Owen's death is that is was so absolutely pointless and out of the blue. No one (speaking from the unspoiled/team position) saw it coming, no one was prepared. And I can understand why Jack didn't want to let it go. I mean, who knows how many people he's seen dying and if I was in his position I think I would have tried to "make it right" too. He did it, of course, in his usual 'lets not care about the consequences' way and made everything worse. I sometimes really wish the Doctor would come by and put his head straight. ("Leviten lesen" and all that.)
And yes. Everything was unexpected, because you didn't know what was going on. I mean, yes I knew Owen was Death when his eyes turned black the first time but then again... you never know what's gonna come out of it.
And I really liked the way they went from funny to serious and back again. This way the episode didn't appear too emo/over the top. It made it a bit ridiculous, but not in the 'I don't believe it' sense. More in the 'I can't believe this is happening sense' - the way that the Team must have felt, you know.
And oh dear... talk about tl;dr. Torchwood seems to do that to me. Why? I could talk about it for hours.
I sometimes really wish the Doctor would come by and put his head straight. That'd be nice, if only for the shiny Jack/Ten interaction ;). The Doctor isn't any better, though. He makes it up as he goes as well. It's just that he has about 700 more years of experience ;).
I seriously want a Torchwood/DW x-over ep soon, though. I want the TARDIS landing in the middle of the hub. I can picture that shot in my head.
Yeah, as I said, I though the ep was rather shiny. I'd watch it again ;).

While I agree wholeheartedly that would rule, RTD seems pretty staunch against never letting the Doctor be on Torchwood because of his status as a "children's show" (anti)hero or whatever.
I wonder if we could get the Torchwood crew on a Doctor Who episode? *sigh*
P.S. For LULZ, I recently wrote a Martha/Tosh/Ten fic and the TARDIS landed in the Hub in my story. The best part was it landed right by the couch and blocked Owen's desk -- to which he was quite annoyed, but it was funny. Of course, the other funny part was when the Doctor came out of the TARDIS, Tosh and Martha were in the middle of making out on the couch. It was TEH AWKWARD. LOL.
because of his status as a "children's show" (anti)hero *facepalm* Sheesh. Better the Doctor on Torchwood than the other way around, I'd say. The kids who don't watch Torchwood will never know what the Doc gets up to when they're not watching him, and the kids watching Torchwood, well, I guess for those all hope is lost anyway xD.
Ahaha I can so imagine the Doctor walking "in" on Martha and Tosh. Esp since the Doctor probably wouldn't even realize how awkward the situation was until Martha would tell him to please turn around and walk back into his TARDIS until she's found her bra xD.
