Reading that line again, made me tear up. Even weeks after I watched this episode. That speaks for itself, I guess. :)
Yeah I didn´t really feel that Grey storyline either. I know what you mean.
Right I remember that Hoix scene from Dr. Who :)
Oohhhh I didn´t even notice that Tosh was in Dr. Who.... WOW, thank you for telling me. I didn´t put that together :)
I didn´t notice that "Jack" calling by Grey. But you´re right, it´s strange.....
Hahah that shirt part is funny :D

"Because you're breaking my heart." - Toshiko Sato, "Exit Wounds"
Everyone cries at that quote.
The cast were affected as well when they found out about the Torchwood team deaths in the series - John Barrowman on the Declassified said: "I was shocked. I just stood there - didn't know what to say - and Eve ("Gwen") just burst into tears."
Tosh's struggle down the steps to the autopsy room was well filmed - we really feel the pain from her injury.
I did not get invested in the Captain Jack/Gray story. Possibly it is the coldness of Gray, but for me it just feels like some random bad character taking revenge on one of our heroes rather than the emotional pain that Captain Jack should have of his brother doing it.
Owen sedates a Hoix at the hospital. Where have we seen one before? The Doctor and Rose were chasing a Hoix in "Love & Monsters" - the scene with the doors and the buckets.
As Stephen points out above, Tosh was in "Aliens of London". Some Torchwood viewers did wonder why Tosh was doing the autopsy which wasn't really her role in Torchwood (she was credited as Doctor Sato in that episode). And now we find out she was covering for Owen. We love Tosh. And it means that Tosh met the 9th Doctor.
Captain Jack had some serious ageing during this episode. He was reviving and dying again for nearly 1900 years and then after that he was frozen for another hundred. Do they have to fill in overtime forms in Torchwood?
A minor issue with the script. Gray calls out "Jack". But we know that Jack Harkness is not his real name. Or perhaps this means that "Jack" is his first name after all - we just don't know. Or a script error.
And again we have a minor costume problem. Captain John shoots Captain Jack with the machine guns for several seconds - but later his shirt seems reasonably unaffected by it other than a few blood stains and some bullet holes. Just because you are immortal, it doesn't mean your clothes are.
"It's always the same - nobody cares until you tie them up" - Captain John Hart, "Exit Wounds"
