Review: Torchwood, "Adrift," and an addition to an essay.

I just saw Adrift, and since I saw it, I'm going to add a bit to my essay comparing SGA and TW.

Here's my review of the episode:
You know I've never liked Gwen. I don't really have reasons other than being in love with a man while getting married to another. I mean, sleeping around is one thing: I forgive her for sleeping with Owen and I actually liked that storyline, but to be in love? Ouch, that hurts. And this episode did not help one bit: Worrying about whether or not she changed, fighting with Jack, not listening to Rhys.

I mean, I understand worrying about changing. Everyone does it and everyone worries about doing it. But honestly, did she really, honestly think that the rest of the team were originally cold when they they got to Torchwood? I mean obviously Tosh still cares (ie, Tommy and the missing people) and Owen still cares (ie, Diana, and saving the kid from Death). Ianto obviously still has a heart; he tried to help her in this ep, didn't he? And Jack might not be the Happy Jack from Doctor Who, but he still has one too; caring about the alien manatee is just one example. Obviously, they weren't always hard either, but what, she assumed that she'd be the only one who wouldn't change? C'mon. And fighting with Jack and getting inbetween Jack and Ianto. I wonder if she ever gets tired of the yelling. And not listening to Rhys. I mean, I know she's only human, but for God's sake, you just married the guy and you're already ignoring him? I have no idea how he can stand it.

Oh, but in Gwen's defense, Rhys was really, really out of hand when he yelled to take care of work things at work. That was really harsh, even for words from frustration. I literally said "Ouch, that was harsh," out loud at that.

But, all in all, this episode was good. Though, I had a feeling that Jack was hiding the Rift victims; I mean seriously. He's been alive how long? And Gwen really thought she'd be the first person to see it? I'm kind of annoyed that Jack didn't tell anyone, but it really is for the best.

And here's the part of the essay I'm going to add to the whole thing. It goes in the second big paragraph.
In another two episodes, both of them being called "Adrift," the episodes are about something being lost. In SGA's episode, the entire city of Atlantis is stuck floating through space, with no idea where they are. Not only that, but one of the characters, Dr. Weir, is horribly injured, and the team does everything they can to fix her, but in the end, nothing really helps. Nearly the same thing happens in theTW's episode: Gwen is looking for missing persons taken by the rift, and one person in particular, Jonah, is terribly scarred by a fire, and comes back 40 years older than he was when he went missing. Jack does all that he can, but in the end, again, there's nothing he can do. Also, in both cases, the things lost (the city of Atlantis and the missing persons) are returned, but are never the same. The city is on another planet, far from the old planet, and far from where they were originally supposed to go. The missing people are also found, but they are not returned to their normal state, and many of the people are either injured beyond repair, or driven insane by what they've seen.

(I've added it to my original essay, and when S5 of SGA comes out, I'll add the last bit to the essay.
