Lol, It took me a while to work out why her voice was sounding so strange...O_o Or why she was saying such strange things.

Oh Jack, trying to be like the Doctor...between this and "Owen Harper" the other week he seems to suck at creating unique aliasas though!

Also, did Random Assassin guy's explanation of who "they" are remind anyone else of the Anonymous?

The Anonymous? :s And I feel like they've been nudging ~alien involvement from the beginning though, by pointing out how impossible it all is otherwise...

I was already laughing at her and Jack holding hands and their outfits and then as soon as Eve spoke that was all I could focus on. "HOT DIGGITY" is my favourite rofl Gwen what American tv have you been watching?

LOL I liked him using Owen Harper! It was like Ten using James McCrimmon in T&C.

Oops that originally said "the Anonymous slogan" and then I was just going to write "of Anonymous" and forgot to get rid of 'the'.

I mean, it's Torchwood so I assume alien involvement by default. But I'm also feeling like for the random uninitiated American viewer this might be the first big hint that something ~not of this Earth~ is going on, and that Big Pharm is probably not the real Big Bad.

Yes I did love it of course, it's nice to hear that name after two seasons! (I'm kind of hoping Gwen might use "Tosh" at some point as well so all their names are mentioned in the end). Wait, when did Ten use McCrimmon? (Was that they guy who died in Tooth and Claw? Or the alias he used then when he played a Scot? Who had that been again?)

And huh I've never seen that "Anonymous" thing before...

True...I wonder how the random unitiated American viewer is keeping up, especially with the whole "I used to be immortal" thing with Jack...:s It's too bad Starz couldn't have marathoned COE at least first or something...

I would love a Tosh reference because Tosh was my old favourite but I think Gwen is a bit too white to go around introducing herself as Toshiko Sato lolol.

James McCrimmon is how Ten introduces himself at the start of Tooth & Claw to Victoria's guards ("I'm Dr James McCrimmon from the township of Balamory") -- Jamie McCrimmon was one of Two's companions and as far as I can tell the only male companion the Doctor was especially tight with.

LOL Yeah I do wonder about American viewers. And like, Amazon is now selling a boxset of s1 through COE, and I just imagine some poor American who's really into Miracle Day buying it and being so curious and busting out s1 and being like "WHAT THE HELL".

LOL HER AMERICAN ACCENT. A lot of my friend over here try to do an American accent when they talk to me. It's always bad. ALWAYS. And then they try to get me to do an English accent and I'm like "I shall keep my dignity, tyvm."

Actually I think my favorite part was when Gwen was telling Rhys how "horrible" LA is.

LOL WAS THAT NOT THE MOST AMAZING THING EVER.

EVE MYLES' AMERICAN ACCENT: STILL BETTER THAN DAVID TENNANT'S SO I AM NOT SURE THAT GIF IS APPROPRIATE BECAUSE HE HAS NO RIGHT TO BE LAUGHING AT THIS.

LOL THAT IS ACTUALLY A THOUGHT THAT WENT THROUGH MY HEAD but I'm not sure I have an appropriate substitute gif from an actual American.

Karen Gillan is pretty awful, maybe it is a Scottish thing.
