Thanks for this post. I agree on the parts that touch on COE, though I tend to the think more and more that the problem is COE was conceived to be virtually standalone. That's why they don't mourn Owen and Tosh, it's why Jack and Ianto get tacked-on families, and why none of dynamics match the last series. And no pterodactyl.
Death scene -- yes, stupid. I especially like GDL saying he worked to get the ILU changed because he wanted it to be "pointless and a waste" as opposed to "sweeping". which is funny, because what I saw was a big ol' Romeo and Juliet death scene, which actually seemed out of the style of the rest of CoE.
