I watched Torchwood 1-11 Combat.
Torchwood is not giving me feelings today.
I am just in a very different mind than I was when I first watched.

All that with the fight club seems tedious and annoying.

Gwen does evil. Drugs her boyfriend. Like when Willow used memory erasing on Tara. Very wrong.
Gwen wants her feelings fixed without paying attention to other people's feelings.

Torchwood are bad guys. Don't get me wrong, I'm still listening to Big Finish and I care about the characters as individuals, but Torchwood, experimenting on aliens and letting them loose to act as bait? Bad guys.

And it might be Jack's idea but Tosh just asked for clarification, she didnt actually do anything.

Jack isn't a good boss. Not useful or effective. Employees are out drinking because they are not in fact working, he calls them back in. They are running around with guns, drunk. Bad boss.

Torchwood needs way more people to do even what we see them do, without being disasters at it.

And yet, if they were not disasters, would I care about them this much?

*sigh*

I think I'd rather listen to audios than rewatch this again, but, a lot of character mileage happened here.
