What an Idiot is now Flame Bait


* WhatAnIdiot: Jack Harkness, a professional alien fighter by trade, has just blackmailed the duplicitious, backstabbing British government into letting him handle an alien race who can create deadly plagues and are demanding 10% of the planet's children.\\
'''You'd Expect''': Harkness, drawing on over a century of fighting aliens, would pour all the government's resources into researching the threat in the hopes of finding a weakness or some sort of trump card they could play (as he does ''in the very next episode'').\\
'''Instead''': He marches into Thames House and tells the deadly alien bioengineers "no" like a giant swaggering cock without any sort of card to play, and then has the audacity to act shocked when they kill everyone in the building with a deadly bioweapon.

* GrowingTheBeard: Very contentious, but The general feeling by anyone not already a long-term fan is that this miniseries was is where the first ''real'' critical and ratings success series not only grew the beard but then proceeded to beat up the shark until it begged for mercy. A few long-term fans were in uproar over the show.killing of [[spoiler:one of the favoured if not favourite characters in the series]]. Others think this just makes the beard longer by living up to the AnyoneCanDie reputation.
