Amen to that. I was SO looking forward to this one. I had no problems with the heavy "Sapphire and Steel" and "X-Files" over-tones (hell, two of the best creepy cult shows ever made!) but the plot-holes irritated the hell out of me and Jack's back-story aside there was too much "oh so THIS is what it all means". Nothing made any sense, even for a Torchwood episode! It was so much of a wasted chance because the central idea was wonderful, the relationship side of the Jack/Ianto "thing" was built up so carefully, there were so many hints of back-story ("sent by who?" "long story", not to mention the WAY GDL delivered that line about knowing the mental hospital. And potential future fodder in the old lady's comment to Ianto that they had 'touched' him). But the plot itself? Gah!
Might be interesting to see if there are any missing scenes on the DVD release.
