This episode has a very simple, almost minimalist plot, for a 50-minute time travel episode.
A time rift is due to open in a Cardiff military hospital between 1918 and sometime in the future. Torchwood's solution is simple -- pluck a young soldier from ground zero, cryogenically freeze him until the future is now, and send him back through the ( Read more... )

We're only three episodes in. Let's get at least three more down before we start to speculate that deeply.

I thought this was a beautiful episode, the Ianto/Jack scene and final Owen/Tosh scene especially. They were understated and subtle but still full of meaning and emotion. Ianto and Jack's conversation, like all their personal conversations so far this season, have several layers that work wonderfully. We basically saw Jack tell Ianto that he loves him and judging from that lovely kiss Iatno understood Jack. (And can we get more kisses like that pretty please) And I really like this Jack we're seeing so far this season.

It's nice to finally see Owen with some range and depth. When he tells Tosh she was strong and saved the world, I thought it was genuine and beautiful.

Tosh moved right? I'm not crazy am I, this is a new house/set? And has Ianto called Jack 'Sir' yet this season? I don't think he has.

Tosh moved right?

Looks like it.

And has Ianto called Jack 'Sir' yet this season? I don't think he has.

"How are you, Ianto?"

"All the better for having you back, sir."

That's the only time so far.

Something to do with Gray, perhaps?

The "Gray" story is connected with the "home" theme, yes.
