Torchwood Season 4, episode 3

Ep #3 gets a little deeper into the main mystery of the "miracle", and why it might be happening and who might be involved. Seems the modern-day sci-fi boogeyman has morphed from terrorism (2000's) to health care (2010's). Anyway, I'll hold off an opinion until I know the full outcome, but I've been getting the hunch that we may be in store for a weak payoff with respect to the Evil Big Pharma and post-miracle palliative care.

But we'll see! I'll give RTD a chance to surprise me.

The other bit of confusion occurred during the (OMG seriously close to soft core) sex scenes. Huh? Rex is dating/sleeping with the hospital doctor who treated him? Did this happen during the course of on screen events, or before?

If before, she certainly can keep a cool head in a crisis (Rex being wheeled into the ER impaled by a metal spike). If after, well, she must like the bad boys because Rex is kind of a dick.
