Yeah, I agree with this.

HEY, HOLD UP THAT BABY HIGHER, RHYS.

I think it's kinda retro to have to choose between a family and a job which carries inherent danger. Millions upon millions of soldiers, have had both for...ever. Oh, right, but they've been mostly dudes.

It's interesting how the chose to n"genderswap" gwen's role, in giving her characteristics mostly associated with male characters: She's short-used, impulsive, often tempted to be unfaithful to her spouse, having to leave spouse & kid for the job, etc etc.

I tended to dislike Gwen, but I found this an interesting take on her.

I've always liked her, partially because there aren't a lot of female characters like that. There's a lot of male cops in police procedurals like this, though. I sometimes get annoyed at the way Rhys is written inconsistently - one second worried about Gwen, then excited about aliens, then, "bloody Torchwood!" then proud, then "that was the most terrible time of our lives!" Can you see Jason Bourne's girlfriend or Jack Ryan's wife from the Tom Clancy series spending that much time griping? And I do like Rhys, but he has to see that Gwen's a different, happier person when she has a purpose.

Rhys made sense to me. I mean, I do not like him as such, but I can very much see him as a real person. Now, whether he s the right match for Gwen is another matter. But being "the more adventurous" person in my own relationship, I can sort of see that duality in my boyfriend. On one hand, he's like "my girlfriend should be brave enough to do anything in the world", and he'll even tag along but on the other hand he'd just like to sit watching TV with me.

A lot of my previous dislike about Gwen really did have to do about how she dealt with her personal relationship, and how she as presented to us as the "heart" of the team, while to me she was often equally problematic in nature and morality as the rest of Torchwood - with the exception she rarely owned up to it. While Jack is often presented of very shady morality, and is a terrible flirt - I think I've seen him care more on screen than her. But, like I said - my opinions are changing with the new series. Which is good. And I adore Rex.

The "heart of the team" stuff... a lot of that was in supplemental materials, but she did care about the victims and connected with people from Carys to Beth to Clem. It makes sense to me though, because when you lead with your heart, you're more likely to make mistakes and miscalculations than if you weigh things more clinically.

And now I'm thinking about how doing this doomed so many people to mistakes or unhappiness, like poor Owen over Diane, Ianto over Lisa, Tosh over Mary and Tommy and Adam. On Torchwood you might be better off being clinical about relationships. Jeez.

:)

And Rex! I'm worried about how he'll be when the problem is solved. D :
