I just wonder, what Captain Jack Harkness we'll be seeing in the final Doctor Who's. How can he not be broken after all of this?
I'm kinda wondering that too, but DW!Jack has always been a somewhat different character from TW!Jack -- much lighter, less emo and moody. We saw the Torchwood team briefly on DW last season, after Tosh and Owen's deaths, without much sense of gloom despite the events of the finale. It would be odd if they don't address it *somehow*, though. (And, man, this is really making my heart twist, thinking of Jack circa season one of DW -- carefree and lighthearted, at least relative to how he was later, a playboy and action hero rather than the tragic figure that he became.)
The drugs thing was really inspired -- all along you're wondering what they need the children for (do they feed on them? use them to communicate? as an energy source?), but in the end it's something so incredibly petty and useless. And, yeah, the scenes with the children being taken, and the parents fighting back ... that, and the (extremely dark) end to Frobisher's arc, were just fantastic -- dark, brutal and fantastic.
