I'm a bit more ambivalent about the Captain's Blog scenes. I love the one posited for 'Adrift', but I really dislike the one for TKKS. I have a sort of Ianto-ish reaction to that one, in that some fetishes are best kept to oneself, at least from a mass-media point of view. (It encourages much more creative fan-fic, that way.;))
I agree with you about the date in KKBB, on all counts. To me, its absence has made for some wonderful speculation and fic, but it'd also be lovely to see them on a date at some point, even if it's not that date.
I have to say that the fact that they haven't shown us everything has made for a very strong and active fandom. It seems as though the writers do understand the fans in many ways, including their desire to speculate and create around the series. Heck, even GDL's website allows the use of Torchwood images when fans are submitting fanart. I hope that will continue with the next series.
