I had to look that episode title up because I could not remember it. After reading the plot, I can still hardly remember it! is it the one where the guy had all patterned lines all over his face?
Oh, came across this from one of the Torchwood writers for Series 3, quite interesting:
I can't believe people are actually sending in threats and so on, and I also read that people have said they have deleted all Barrowman's music off their Ipods because of what his CHARACTER did in Torchwood.

Yeah, I agree. They were already dying of the airborne virus (which I'm not sure how the 456 released either), opening the door would have released poison into the room but it also would have killed the 456 as they were met with Earth's atmosphere.
I think the whole deal with the child that was hooked up to the 456 was the creepiest moment in Torchwood for me. Normally when watching disturbing elements in a science fiction work, I think 'Thank god it isn't real,' but this time I was definitely unhappy watching that. And the revelation that the kids were being used in a drug trade... ugh. Damn the 456.
That would have been better off being shown. Still, it is only a niggle.
42 was the one on the spaceship and the living sun being and the fact that you have entirely forgotten it (not even caring enough about it to hate it, it was so generic) is what I call the Chibnal effect.
James Moran, pon the other hand, also wrote Sleeper, one of the better Torchwood episodes.
Though to give Chris his due, he wrote Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, which was not bad either. He just messed up that plotline at the end of the series.

The reverse is actually true- Who is normally better than Torchwood. But CoE was very good and if Torchwood carries on in that style it will have shown great improvement.
