That's typical of the laziness of TV writers these days. They think the fans won't notice, then they're surprised when people complain. At this point I honestly don't care that I missed the series. Watching John on Dancing on Ice was better. TV writers go for cheap shocks instead of intelligent writing.

I almost hope there isn't more Torchwood being filmed because it'll just serve to destroy Jack further, sacrificed at the altar of Gen Cooper. Frankly, Gwen should't be in charge of anything, she'd trough anyone under the bus if it served to make her look better or give her more power. She didn't grow at all throughout the series as far as I could see, just got more selfish and know-it-all. Her 'fame' went to her head.
