After seeing that part in the pilot, I started keeping a Rape Count in Torchwood, to go along with the Body Count in Doctor Who. As for Jack/Gwen/Rhys, I just feel sorry for Ianto. I don't like Jack/Gwen that much, simply because they have other partners they should be with. But threesomes yay!
I just though the line was great because Lance IS funny. And then there were the callbacks were the spider-critter kept trying to make jokes and failing horribly. So clearly she kept Lance around to try and learn humour from him. It was so endearingly pathetic.
I've been re-reading the Tintin comics during breaks at work, and they're surprisingly racist, although they manage some tongue-in-cheek moments for it too. I'm cutting Herge slack for that because he was tried making up for it a few times, and it was the 30's, so it's unlikely the audience would have read it otherwise. The movie has Spielberg attached as director, and with Moffat writing... even if it's bad, it's gonna be HUGE.
