Mean UNIT, treating her like that! The lesson we can gather from this episode is: never trust mysterious government agencies, boys and girls. They'll screw you over six ways from Sunday.
This is where I have a problem (see own review). Not with the principle, but with it being UNIT. And I suppose it will be the divide between New Who and TW only watchers on the one hand, and Old Who watchers on the other, because much as it's possible that a organization would change post 9/11 that way, it still is an emotional slap in the face for it to be one of the most loved parts of DW (old school canon). Imagine how you'd feel if in a hypothetical future where someone other than Joss does a new revived Buffy on screen every single member of the Scoobies other than Buffy is shown having joined the bad guys.
