I enjoyed quite a few of the S1 eps, but they didn't grab me until the TARDIS sound at the very end. But I always went with the lots of shows have a rough first year - especially spinoffs. ATS certainly did and that got better.

They've been doing some great exploration of the characters by shadow doubling, the more so since its been explorations of both characters rather than just hte lead a la ME. I hope O/T do try adn get there. At least she's not calling him horrible names and loves him, so there's hope. Eeep. Has said the hope word - has more ME flashbacks of traumaness.

This was definitely an Owen ep, as it should be, and it makes sense that both Ianto and Martha were sidelined as they're just not that important to him/tied to him as characters. But it was good that they weren't ignored.

I'm not sure about Martha in the mix either, especially with the female lead impications it would bring.

Rhys is adorable.

I found it cathartic as it seems to be another example of Team Cardiff taking what Joss got wrong and fixing it.
