Hee hee. I thought of a few more.

E: It’s leadership, Stupid!
How to hold your staff to account when they violate protocol/jeopardize their team members/almost cause the end of the world for trivial personal reasons.

F: It’s a hostage situation, Stupid!
Why you NEVER put your gun down in a stand off with cannibals, regardless of the threats they make to your team member because they’re just going to eat you anyway.

G: It’s the official secrets act, Stupid!
You’re the best of the best. This means you don’t talk about your work to complete strangers in bars because you got a little drunk and then shag that stranger and then take them into your black ops base.

H: It’s leadership, Stupid! Part II
Why putting an operative who has just attempted suicide and admitted as much to you right back into field ops is just asking for trouble. The kind of trouble the triggers the end of the world, Abbadon-style.

I: It’s a cyber-woman, Stupid!
Why keeping a cyber-babe in a metal wonderbra in your secret base might backfire horribly, and why this should be obvious to anyone with an ounce of common sense.

J: It’s leadership Stupid! Part III
Why a staff member who does the above should be fired so fast that their useless arse barely touches the ground.

K: It’s rape, Stupid!
Why using Alien hormones to get a girl into bed is rape, and why no viewer can possibly like your gerbil faced team member ever again after they do this.

L: It’s black ops, Stupid!
Why putting the name of your secret organization on the side of your SUV is possibly detrimental to your low profile operation.

M: It’s leadership, Stupid! Part IV
After an entire season of displaying gross incompetence, selfishness and stupidity at every turn, as well as generally causing more problems than they solve, your team have just shot you and almost wiped out the planet. Against all the odds, you manage to correct their stupidity and save the human race. What does decent leader do next? We discuss the following options:
A: Shoot them in their traitorous, useless faces and hire some decent operatives?
B: Reprimand them all, make a note never to trust them again and spend a great deal of time putting them through UNIT training courses to make certain they can do their jobs next time?
C: Grin like some rent-a-Tom-Cruise impersonator and bog off with a Time Lord, leaving Torchwood and the future of the human race in the hands of the gerbil faced rapist who shot you?
