I thought they were setting Lois up to be the new Ianto.

The big problem I had is that we're always sold that Torchwood is the 10 miles beyond the bleeding cutting edge. Yet, the regular English government guys have hacked them, easily, and had been doing so for years. Hmm... don't buy it.

The more I think about it, and especially after reading your review, the more the sloppy writing seems to sink home. The show was fun as I watched it because it was big and actiony, it kept me on the edge of my seat with lots of flashy distractions, but the meat/heart/soul/what not were missing.

This year is kinda cruddy for Who-niverse fans. No standard series of either Torchwood or the Doc. A miniseries of TW and a couple Dr specials is all we have. And soon Tennent is gone. That alone is super sad...

So, think they're going to work into the overall plot why the Doc just keeps getting younger in each of his most recent reincarnations?
