Ghost Machine rewatch
Gun training scene:
Jack goes down there thinking 'work', Gwen definitely starts the flirting, I don't think Jack realises how hands-on he's being until she starts asking where he sleeps and stuff, at which point he starts wondering where she's going with this.
Ghost machine in the flat:
Again, Gwen seems unable to learn from anyone's mistakes. This scene also seems to imply that pressing the button is a choice, not a compunction, so she was just being dumb at the station, but it's still fairly early days for her at Torchwood.
Owen stalking Morgan:
Another who never learns from his mistakes. He's such a creeper
Bernie Harris:
Why is the entire team apart from Ianto there? What is Tosh's purpose? What's Gwen's purpose, apart from pushing things she shouldn't?
And why on earth does Jack let her take the damn thing when she has such a tendency to do that?
Gwen and Jack in the Hub:
She really doesn't get it. I get this far through the series and always wonder why she's still here.
Gwen and Bernie:
I like Bernie. He's a good character, although not nice.
Gwen also going freelance. She really is a liability
Gwen's pity party:
Hard to properly bollock someone who's already kicking themselves over it. Which is probably why she keeps on making the mistakes, because no one really corrects her. (Personal experience jading me here. Little brother used to cry whenever he got told off, so Mum would tell him it was fine and it ceased to matter, so he kept doing it. He stopped when he was about 15, though.)
Yeah, my view of Gwen is rather jaded by my experiences with people I've grown up with. She pushes a lot of my buttons.
Cannot cope with any more Torchwood. certainly can't cope with Cyberwoman right now. More ironing time.

First time I saw these I was only just hanging in at this point, it wasn't until Cyberwoman that I felt at all committed.

Bad firing posture.
Incorrect range protocol.
Bad grip.
Don't get me STARTED on a gun in each hand.
And, honestly, I don't care how good Jack is, you don't get THAT good with guns in one bloody grope and tickle session.

But I've never held a gun, so I wouldn't know.

Fluffy Gwen... how on Earth did she survive?

Having said that, it's hard to know what the director intended. I just think maybe there isn't any chemistry between JB and EM, I find their scenes together the most cringeworthy in terms of bad acting, painful. Still clearly series 4 will see them getting together in a pairing reminiscent of Moonlighting in the lack of any actual passion.
