We are coming. Day One.
Forget the audios for now...
THIS. WAS. FAB!!!
This was bloody great storytelling! Some laugh out loud moments and some freaky moments and some things that absolutely surprised me! And I loved the little details, like Gwen saying "morning!" to a picture of Owen and Tosh.
I can't quite figure out what these dipshit UNIT guys are doing. (Or are they a British force?) Anyway, killing off the people that might be able to help? So either they're doing it for the aliens, or we don't know the whole history of things yet. Or both. That whole "Torchwood hub is a magnet" thing seemed like something you tell grunts so they'll carry out the mission.
I totally thought that Rupesh was going to fill Owen's place. Well, Team Torchwood did too. But BAM. A spy! And it seemed like he had such potential! But this is something that was rampant in Spooks as well - different agencies all trying to put moles in each other. What the HELL are they doing over in the UK??
I also thought that Lois would be taking Tosh's place, but now I'm not so sure. She might help out, but... I just don't know after Rupesh!
The personal stuff was nice too. Gwen and Rhys were sweet, and awww. Gwen's pregnant. And we see Ianto with his sister. (Don't think we've heard about her before, have we?) And then there's Jack. WHO IS A GRANDFATHER. Wow! At first I thought maybe Jack was the father of this kid, but nope. Really strange to hear a grown woman calling Jack "Dad."
But very interesting mystery to this whole thing. I can't wait to see how it pans out! If the rest of the series goes anything like this first episode, I'm totally getting these DVDs!
(Also a side note - they mentioned that Martha was on her honeymoon, so you can cross off that rumor of "Martha and Mickey are getting married in the Doctor Who specials!" STOOPID TABLOIDS. Not that I put anything into that rumor in the first place.)
ETA: Couple of other things I just remembered. How could I forget to mention Jack blowing up at the end? That is going to SUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK to come back after that. Poor Jack. :(
Also, the Jack/Ianto stuff was very very sweet. Poor Ianto though. He always looked like a kicked puppy during that whole "couple" thing.

I don't like lois, i hope she does't end up joining. cant pinpoint why, just don't like her.
I was quite edge of seat stuff. Can't wait for tonights.

RTD was probably cackling away, knowing people would be thinking this.

I think she's sweet. However, maybe a bit too sweet to be working with the brutalities of Torchwood.
