I won't belabor it either. Other than to say Gwen never had a problem speaking to or correcting Clem in other situations. It just sticks in my craw :)
They had more than Lois' lenses by Day 4, they had Lois. They had plans she'd delivered and descriptions of the place and a very good read on how these aliens operated from Ianto's transcriptions. Jack's whole approach was naive, and for someone with his experience, I would've expected more.
I loved that TW was a bit of a mess, I agree completely. But being a bit of a mess and managing to pull it off is like underdog heroes, scrappy and fun. Getting people killed so frequently, not so much.
I guess I take particular offense because a major part of my (now previous) job was to ensure all systems had a disaster recovery plan in place, and our business had little to do with daily risk and disaster. It is all moot, though, innit? It's over and done with. The writers did what the writers did, and I disagreed with so much of it despite great editing, a rollercoaster pace, beautiful camera angles (at times), and some fabulous things done with truly lovely secondary characters. It just wasn't the show I'd fallen in love with, and I still get angry about it.
Whoops, I belabored it after all, didn't I? Sorry. You ARE right, just doesn't mean I like it :)
