I absolutely adore this episode!
It’s the most horrible thing I’ve seen and I love it

OH actually I meant to write about this.
Because it’s a really dumb part of an otherwise excellent episode.
Gwen is the one to initiate the conversation and she knows that she was probably Owen’s last snog, plus the thing with Ianto, it was just such a badly planned conversation

With how much Owen gets around, she probably assumes she wasn’t, and/or is forcibly repressing the memory for now
As for Ianto, the whole thing with him in Season 1 is that everyone overlooks and forgets about him, so that kinda works for me

Yeah I’m not saying it was a bad scene - it really hits hard when everyone is laughing and joking and Ianto is just sad, because they forgot already.
Just it was such a bad self-own on Gwen’s part.

One of the best of the season definitely, I love the twist that there is no alien no rift shenanigans, just some of the worst of humanity in an old Welsh village.
It also gives us Ruddy Great Tractor so it gets extra points for all the times me and my wife have joked about that

They’re so much more of a pain to setup but having stayed in some like this once, they’re surprisingly nice. Warmer than the more plasticy modern ones anyway

This has always been one of my favourite Torchwood stories, its stuck in my mind and I’d say is one of the best TV stories. Definitely love the fact that it is a very human threat and thr remote location is lovely.

This is in my top 3 episodes of Torchwood. It’s a proper horror, done right.
