Aww, look, it's School Hard Spike! Except he's all withered and wrinkly and brown now.

Heh, this made me laugh because it is too horribly true. I enjoyed Marsters' performance, but you're right -- he could do it in his sleep.

For the record, I wanted the Doctor and the Master to kiss like Jack/John too. Oh well.

This episode was unmitigated cheese, for all the reasons you've mentioned, but I still liked it. It will never sully how I feel about DW, so I'm fine with the fromage that is Torchwood.
