Setup for the last episode and fills in missing history... all while breaking continuity, yay!
So, Jack was recruited over 100 years ago... so he was working in Torchwood during Small Worlds? And during To The Last Man? Really? REALLY? Chris, you do know your own series, right? Right? Guess not. And still doesn't explain where Torchwood was during the UNIT years and such.
Anyway, Toshiko... apparently wasn't involved in the Space Pig episode actually, but she is a genius from the start. And easily blackmailed. Good to know.
Didn't quite realise how ingrained in Torchwood London Ianto was, but where was Lisa? In the back seat of his car?
And why would Owen ever trust Jack?
In fact, instead of giving away details, this just raises more questions about why these people are in Torchwood, but it does explain how incompetent they were in Series One.
But the worst part of everything is that there is a "huge" explosion and nothing happens to anyone! The worst is a dislocated shoulder and a broken arm, easily mended, so no long term repercussions at all.
Nice try to fill things out, but I'm not sure anything gotten better.
Next week (well, two weeks it looks like): he's back and is the Big Bad for the final episode... which looks like a generic Big Bad final episode from any number of series...

ye gods, this sounds terrible!
Thre opportunities to refer to the team's pasts that are already partially documented and taen as fact by fans, and they overwrite them? There's got to be a reason.
Unless it's a false history we're being fed?
And Torchwood during the UNIT years - I suspect Chinn from 'Axos' was probably in there...
By itself, it's just... meh
But when putting into the history they themselves established...
"Didn't quite realise how ingrained in Torchwood London Ianto was, but where was Lisa? In the back seat of his car?"
I wondered that too... maybe he rented some storage space somewhere.
"But the worst part of everything is that there is a "huge" explosion and nothing happens to anyone! The worst is a dislocated shoulder and a broken arm, easily mended, so no long term repercussions at all."
That was hilariously stupid, given that the characters were all standing only a few feet away from what looked like sizeable explosive devices.
