TW 2x13- a powerful finale
Overall a terribly powerful episode. It had some problems, some unexpected solutions and several big bangs.
I'm very glad they made the quick mention of Tosh filling in for Owen for the pig-alien from DW S1. That was a nice touch by the writers to fix a previous plot problem.
I had assumed Owen was getting the heave-ho in one way or another this episode, but I hadn't expected Tosh to leave too. Her death shocked me. And why wasn't there a glowy kiss of life? Jack hasn't done one all season- have the writers forgotten about it?
Jack's sanity is amazing, and a bit unrealistic. As is whatever fabrics his coat and shirt and pants are made of, damn it. Really, after nearly 2000 years in the dirt and Jack's sanity AND clothes are intact? Rather unlikely.
I *love* the John twist (he's not a twirl mustache crazy bad guy, but being forced to do what he's done)... but was a bit saddened by the Grey one.
I'm confused about Grey calling him "Jack" before skewering him, especially after "Adam" and how they were careful NOT to name him as a kid. Are we to believe his first name actually IS Jack?
Gwen's performance was excellent- I loved her in the police station taking charge.
I'm a bit confused how the Weevils were 'trained' to take out the people in charge though- did John do that and we just didn't see it?
I'll also admit that in a way I'm glad the season's over. Although it's unlikely things will calm down much considering DW's starting up immediately, but with luck at least some of the rabid fanwank and shipwarfare will die down. I'm looking forward to a time I can have a comm other thantorchwood_meta on my Flist and not be overwhelmed by the insanity and backstabbing for in the posts there.

I miss fandom so much. I miss people in fandom. I miss being able to chit-chat and interact and play. I hate, hate, hate stress. I just. GOD I want a break.
