Freaking cool indeed! After some hit and miss eps this season, I just loved the latest two. It was timely "lightness" for me too given the past few days. They really know their fans and know which buttons to push, scenes and kisses to give ;) I enjoyed Ep 12 more for some reason -- maybe it was to see some teeny backstory, all the Jack on Jack moments (hee for gay!), the WWII setting (I've a weakness for historical war romances), Ianto developing a spine in his face-off with Owen, or just a slightly more believable plot - as far as wacky TW plots go - compared to the Ep 13 rift, which I never really got back in Doctor Who. Though the ending with the Tardis? Priceless.

On that note, as a Heroes fan, didn't you also feel some strange deja vu what with the samurai warrior, Tosh speaking about destiny to her mom in Japanese, and the scary monster at the end?

PS - You're one of the few on my flist who posts about Torchwood. Yay you!
