For me, the momentum of the show, the pounding and raw grit of everyone's emotions totally overshadowed what some (not me) thought to be a sub-par CGI effect. For me, the only quirk I thought could have been better was that the demon was dispatched so easily. But then, that wasn't the point of the episode. The point was the group becoming truly one, truly a family, a single unit with Gwen becoming the true heart of the group ... then having that unit ripped apart again in the cliff-hanger when Jack goes missing. So the less-than-a-minute the demon was on screen didn't ruin a thing for me. Well, I guess to each her own.

The Weevils are scary, those evil fairies were deadly looking, most of the "creatures" in the show are truly frightening but not that thing. It was too much. I'm a huge fan of the old Irwin Allen shows and on Lost in Space, I buy Bumble attacking the Robinsons but it ruined the impact of Torchwood for me. Not this time though. . .

Sure, the monster-demon was CGI created, but it was only on the screen for a minute. The point of the episode was the character interaction - the life and deathness of the world ending, how far could you be pushed till you break, the crisis that had Owen shooting Jack (and doing so NOT knowing Jack couldn't die), and the unwavering belief Gwen had that Jack would live. Allowing a minutes-worth of a CGI demon to overshadow all that emotional impact seems a bit shallow and missing-the-point-ish.
