I really enjoyed this. I don't think there was a single time I felt the lack of visual - the whole thing put a clear enough picture in my head. It's from the same writer who did "A Day in the Death," (and also the person who wrote Martha's Myspace blog, but we'll just forget about that, shall we?)

From what it sounds like, this takes place after "Exit Wounds" but before "Journey's End." And one thing given a large amount of play is the team dealing with the loss of Owen and Tosh. It even becomes an element to the plot.

Martha guest stars, getting the team to Switzerland to investigate strange goings on at the LHC facility - something that's actually being tested in real life today. (Fun little tie-in to a real world event.) At different times, Martha gets Jack and Gwen to talk a bit about Tosh and Owen. Jack feels incredible guilt about it. And when Gwen talked about it, I got a bit sniffly.

Ianto also goes through it since he's the one who winds up "hearing" Owen, Tosh and Lisa. (Wow, the Lisa history hasn't disappeared off the face of the Earth!) But even more important, I laughed out loud several times, and they were all Ianto lines. :D (Ianto getting to be the Ambassador from Wales with Jack as his personal assistant? MWAH.)

And it all had a sufficient amount of crack considering Jack solved it all at the end by reversing the polarity. *snickers*

So thumbs up here!

P.S. Keep an ear out for a line that's a throwback to Nine in DW's S1.
