Torchwood

Phew! I was really glad to find out it will be back on late January.

I knew Bilis was gonna turn out like that. And now I am starting to get an understanding of....

The Dr. Who references.

1. The Captain Jack stuff is so hot.

I like the show, and those little extras sure don't hurt.

[GreenPartyVoter]

2. Torchwood is an anagram for Doctor Who. I never thought of that before.

[redqueen]

10. I didn't know that...

neat. :D

[GreenPartyVoter]

11. Learned that from the Torchwood wiki :^D

[DarkTirade]

3. Mmm... Captain Jack...

[AllegroRondo]

4. I say this with an unblemished record of heterosexuality

he would make me consider switching teams.

[DarkTirade]

5. Unfortunately he's taken in real life. :(

[GreenPartyVoter]

6. He's a cutie all right

[Deja Q]

7. When the show was geared for a mature audience, I was hoping for "more complex storylines".

Oops.

That show has no substance whatsoever.

I've sat through the first three episodes, don't ask how I got to the third one.

[Greyskye]

8. no kidding

I set the DVR to record them before I saw any. Then I started watching them. Then I deleted the DVR timer.

Concept had potential. Execution a big miss. Very disappointing - I think you made it through more episodes then I did. I think the 'mature audience' thing was in reference to the sex in the bathroom scene in the first one. :evilgrin:

[redqueen]

9. Or the SUPER HOT GUYS kissing.

*lusts*

[supernova]

12. Seriously,

That's hot!

:blush:

[redqueen]

13. I am so glad I'm not the only one who thinks so.

I can see what makes lesbians such a turn on for guys.

[DarkTirade]

16. That's odd... because I don't see it...

Then again, I never claimed to be a normal guy... :P

[Dervill Crow]

15. I'm glad the show is on BBCA three or four times each week.

I couldn't watch the first time, second time peeked thru my fingers, and third time quite enjoyed it.

It was on again Sunday morning . . . pretty cool.

As stated upthread, I lurves me some Captain Jack.

[Dervill Crow]

14. Wasn't Captain Jack on some eps of Dr. Who a couple of seasons ago?

I lurves me some Captain Jack.

[redqueen]

17. Yup... his character first appeared in either Ghost Child

or The Doctor Dances.

I'm not sure about which one, or whehter those titles are correct. :P

[GreenPartyVoter]

18. I guess now I need to start watching Dr. who?

[redqueen]

19. Eh, if it's just to see him maybe not...

He was only in those two I think... no, there may be one more.

But it's a great show regardless, so... :7

[GreenPartyVoter]

22. I'll try to remember to check it out

[philosophie_en_rose]

28. Jack is in at least eight episodes of Doctor Who.

The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances, Boomtown, and the last two of series 1.
Utopia and the last two of series 3.
He's also going to be in series 4.

:bounce:

[redqueen]

30. Whoa...

I knew I was wrong by one or two... I haven't seen many of those.

Hehe... something to look forward to.

:)

[Bridget Burke]

34. Captain Jack first appeared on "The Empty Child"

"Are you my Mommy?"

[Anarcho-Socialist]

20. I was disappointed with Torchwood

It switched frequently between awesome and bad, with too much of the latter.

I also found it difficult to imagine an important organisation above the government and the UN, spending its time chasing inconsequential aliens around the Welsh countryside.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

21. Torchwood is currently my favorite show ...

and John Barrowman has become my latest obsession. Just YouTube him.

[supernova]

23. As good looking as John Barrowman is

It's still strange to me to look at a Scotsman with a Chicago accent! :P

[redqueen]

24. But... his character is an American,

Did you mean something else?

:shrug:

[supernova]

26. That's his real public voice

that American accent. I watched him get ready for a music video.

It's not a problem, it's just a little incongruous to me, that's all. :-)

[redqueen]

29. He's an American actor, isn't he?

I'm really getting confused now!

[supernova]

31. Born in Scotland

but lived in Joliet IL for a while growing up, ergo the Second City accent.

:-)

He's not an American living in the UK so much as a Scotsman who went home. :-)

(Yes, I've read way too much. :P )

[redqueen]

32. Hahahahahaha... well now I know.

Fangirl! :P

[philosophie_en_rose]

33. nothing wrong with fangirls. . .

:blush:

[Bridget Burke]

35. And he wore a kilt to his Commitment Ceremony....

[supernova]

36. Squeee!!

His partner is as cute as he is!

:D

[truebrit71]

37. Ahhh, that explains the obvious gusto with which he snogged the other fella then...

...Personally I preferred the snogging in the earlier episodes...Holy Crap was that hot!!!

[Bridget Burke]

25. It's great that we're getting Torchwood's Season 2 so quickly...

We'll only be a week or 2 behind the UK.

There's a lot on the 'web about the next season. (And I'm trying to avoid spoilers.) The scripts are going to pay more attention to character development--& not just Gwen's character! Jack won't be quite so dark--more like the charming fellow we met in Doctor Who. And there will be more background on Jack, Torchwood & the Time Agents (Jack was introduced as a rogue Time Agent). Perhaps the Torchwood crew will get to show their skills, rather than just their screw-ups. (Last season, they couldn't even order pizza without causing a bloodbath.)

I'd encourage anyone who hasn't seen Doctor Who to catch the three seasons of New Who. You'll get to meet Captain Jack; he's introduced in the first season & shows up at the end of the third. And both New Doctors are pretty cool, too.

[philosophie_en_rose]

27. Torchwood is a fun show.

It's not Masterpiece Theatre, but it's fun.

You really should watch Doctor Who, as well. The DVDs are on Netflix and the files are all over the place on the internet. Not that I would get them that way. ;)

[truebrit71]

38. I'm looking forward to the return of "Life on Mars"...

...brilliant first series...can't wait to see what happens this year as it wraps up...
