I love Adam, though I pretty much watch the Gwen-and-Rhys parts and the Ianto-is-a-murderer thing. But I watch those parts over and over again. Jack's family history and Owen and Tosh are just boring to me. But yeah, the episode wins mad points for not making much sense in the end.

Randomly, I've also been watching Something Borrowed a lot as well lately, but again, just parts. It's funny that those are the two you mentioned. :)

Yeah those are pretty much the parts that I watch too. I kinda skip over Jack's family stuff too though... I only really watched the entire episode a few weeks ago... Till then I didn't even know that Jack's father's name was Franklin.

Something Borrowed gets me, cause SO many Jack/Ianto shippers take offense to Gwen and Jack's dance at the wedding... I feel like I'm one of the few that don't, it didn't other me then and it doesn't bother me now...

Oh, Jack/Ianto shippers. It seems to me that most them have no understanding whatsoever of Jack. The idea of Jack being in love with Gwen while simultaneously being in love with Ianto (and Owen, Tosh, Rose, The Doctor, Martha, real!Captain Jack, and who knows who else for that matter), with neither love being better or worse, just simply different is preposterous! It's quite obvious that Jack is capable of this. Hell, he was still in love with Estelle after all those years.

But I like Jack/Gwen, I just think it's so badly handled on the show. Or maybe Gwen just can't handle being in love with two people at the same time the way Jack can (which is probably more the case than anything), I just hate the consistent feeling that she settled for Rhys. I ♥ Rhys.

What gets me about that episode is the end: everyone wakes up in the Hub. No one remembers going to sleep in the Hub. They've lost any trace of the last two days (no internal CCTV either). And they all go, "Huh, okay, moving on." I would have expected them to be at least a little worried about the whole deal. *g*

I don't quite see it that way... It feels more glossed over to me, like they got to the end and didn't have any more time...

I do love how Tosh says that the CCTV's been wiped and we don't see Jack or anyone else actually do it or talk about it.
