TW 2.04 and a pterodactyl sighting!

[donutsweeper]

Overall, this episode just made me hate Gwen more.  I'm sick and tired of her being shoved down our throats with her supposed magnanimous soul and overall good heart.  Oh please.

First things first, let me just say Jack+waistcoat=delicious.  And he wore a pocket watch too, interesting.

The 'set up' and plot points were ridiculous, Jack doesn’t notice Rhys following the TW SUV?  COME ON!!!  Jack is not that stupid!  And then later after seeing that thing in the warehouse Rhys still isn’t able to accept aliens?  Oh please.

Interesting things- the dragon theme continues- a big red dragon on a banner behind Rhys in the truck.  AND Jack immediate associates with the creature's captivity and pain.  *sigh* kudos to JB for his  acting there, very believable.  ("What have they done to you my poor friend?")  Of course then Owen took it upon himself to kill the poor alien.  Well, that just sucks on many levels.  Poor alien comes to earth only to be harvested (and GROSS on that btw)

on the bad effects front... the invisible lift still looks dreadful and lighting for the warehouse was a little annoying and unbelievable but Owen shooting up alien thing?  *Sigh* if you can't do it and make it look good DON'T

Gwen... *big sigh*  I don't want to hate her, really I don't , but... her fight with Rhys  was terrible, her giving herself up to the bad guys was dumb and they way she stormed the Hub?  Made me want to slap her.  She is so horrifically self centered.  Demanding she won't drug Rhys, and that they couldn't possibly understand?  Jack "...we understand how you feel."  Gwen "No you don't"  Get your head out of ass girl, you know how long Jack’s been around you don’t believe he couldn’t possible have ever loved someone?  Or been conflicted about the greater good?

Random other thoughts-  Tosh is flirting with Owen?!  Be a little more obvious kiddo!  Cheese and pickle sandwiches?  But Rhys asking Jack if he’s gay- jokingly- and not expect an answer was a cute bit.

Gotta like clever Ianto, getting his hands untied, and then he showed his stuff- stunning the bad guys

and YAY for the pterodactyl being alive!!!!!

Re: the promo- Well, they solved the question of ‘who is Grey’ in a hurry.  Not sure if I'm relieved about that or not.

and question- Did anyone catch how much money does evil!guy slipped Rhys?
