Haha SPOILERS DON'T READ

In Russell's world, bumsex with Russell Tovey pretty much fixes all your emo manpain, no matter how vast, yeah?

That's pretty faily right there. Not as faily as that thing with Martha and you know who, but still pretty fucking offensively faily. As was that thing with Donna. Wow, that's a lot of fucking fail to heap upon an awful lot of companions.

DON'T LET THE DOOR HIT YOUR ASS RUSSELL.

Also, did Simm just disappear, never to be mentioned again, or did it just seem that way?

Personally I'm more than happy to give GDL 95% of the credit for taking the little they gave him and managing to make enough of it to make a deep connection with the audience. 5% to the writing since they didn't really do that much with him and even that RTD only gets a small fraction of the credit for since he only wrote two episodes of Torchwood in the three seasons. I will give him credit, though, for letting his little friend, as you pointed out, do most of the thinking in this case and keeping GLD on because that, I think, is one of the smarter decisions the show ever made.

So the episode. Yeah. Not much to say. Not as bad as the first part, but after all that set up not much of a pay off and while the goodbyes were nice (I'm ignoring the Mickey/Martha get together because that was too lazy even for RTD)it killed the momentum Ten's death/regeneration moment giving him twenty minutes to wonder around saying goodbye to everyone and I hope they sort out the music next series because honestly it's often so OTT and this was no exception.
