Torchwood... Page 50

We also saw how the medical establishment was scared, the evil bloke began to trend and we met an evil publicist.

You weren't paying attention.

it was essentially 60 minutes of a gay man

You're like, obsessed. He didn't even do anything gay in that episode, and yet that's all you see... *shakes head sadly* Obsessed.
Why don't you just bum him.

I liked her, the actress played her well.

I only speaketh truth. And yes, sometimes that's painful to hear!

Mmm, should I take this palpable hint and not watch this on iPlayer?

Don't be so easily led, Godot. Tut tut.

Or at least, not by chipolata. ;)

I'm always led by my dick.

so you do listen to me!

It's defiantly odd and cheap and therein lies the charm

I wouldn't say it looks that cheap. And one of its faults is that it's not nearly defiantly odd enough. That's not to say it's without charm, just that it needs a darn sight more.

After seeing the first episode I fully expected this to be very slow, so I made the concious decision to just enjoy whatever good bits came along, and sit through the slower parts, but even so, it was still very boring. For me, there just wasn't enough time spent on the Torchwood crowd. The whole thing inside the CIA HQ was tedious, although I'm sure it'll be great when that top CIA chap played by Wayne Knight finally gets round to doing some proper comedy.

Apparently Jane "Buffy The Vampire Slayer/Battlestar Galatica" Espenson wrote this weeks episode. Should be interesting.
