Adam
Really liked the premise of this one: we are our memories. They're our reality, so that's what's real. But there were a few things I was confused about, like the ending. And the box. I did not get the box. Did the sand have something to do with Jack? But I thought it was Adam's memory box. And why exactly would all of Jack's memories of his father disappear by taking the short-term amnesia pill? And if you think about it, how could Adam have sprung into being in the first place if he survived through people's memories? He would need to start somewhere, but how could he do so in the first place?
Why do you hate my brain, Torchwood? WHY?
I'm not quite sure what to think about Jack's childhood memories. I mean, beyond how real they were. It was a huge traumatic event in his life, but it was just a snapshot really, and it's not really meshing with Jack's character to me yet. Eh, maybe it'll come.
(Also, please stop giving emo scenes to Jack, because... Yeah. kthxbye.)

And now I'm off to watch Project Runway.

- Hello, Martha! Okay, I admit it. I went into this really wanting to love Martha, so I went in with a bias, but... WOO! Torchwood!Martha > DW!Martha! \o/ Set her free from that character arc millstone of mopey pining, and... Okay, I REALLY liked her in this. :D And I liked Jack when he was with Martha. That's the most life I've seen in him on Torchwood yet!
- There were a couple of things about her I had some trouble with, though. Like exactly how much time has passed since "The Last of the Time Lords?" The show's fuzzy timelines are giving me a headache. It'd have to be a couple of years, wouldn't it? I mean, Martha needed to go through residency yet. And then it seemed sorta like she'd been doing the UNIT thing for a little bit, at least. Enough to get a boyfriend who'd saved her life. (So, it's probably NOT hot!pediatrician from LotTL, but most likely someone from UNIT.)
Also, the conversations with everyone about Jack's sex life seemed a bit...silly. But it's Torchwood, I suppose. So of course you have completely random conversations about someone else's sex life with people you just met. You're so cheesetastic, Torchwood. And doing an incredible cheat from actually showing JB's ass, dammit! - The Doctor got Martha her UNIT job. Awwwwww. :) (*wonders if that will get the Doctor out of the sex he apparently owes her*) And of course the Doctor would quickly put her with UNIT as he'd want to keep her the hell away from Torchwood. Awwwww!
- INTERESTING new information about time travelers! In Doomsday we saw that time travelers have that kind of glowy energy around them, or whatever it was. But this said that people were actually genetically altered from it, and have extraordinary immune systems because of it. VERY interesting. No wonder Sarah Jane looked so damn good at 58 still! :D
- Oh, Owen. Why do I have the feeling that he's not dead? Even though Martha will apparently autopsy him in the next episode? This is sci-fi. He's not dead.
And now I'm off to watch Project Runway.
