Why would the 1950s refugees be impressed by a pair of automatic doors at the local Tesco, but seemingly not when they'd presumably been driven from the remote airfield to the urban wonders of the capital of Wales in an adapted Range Rover covered in more tacky neon lights and plasma screens and bleeding edge technology than you could point a startled Woodbine-clamping hand at?

actually, i think that is an almost believable bit. On first arrival they wouldnt be able to comprehend what all the flashing crap was in the car (and it is just a car, even if souped up a bit), so it would probably just be ignored. But doors that just open?? That's spooky man. And mundane enough to be the conduit for freaking out.
 
Taped last weeks' Torchwood...just watched it - blatant, total nutter shameless rip-off of Fight Club ..... :(

Shameful - and sad, as I've pretty much enjoyed all the others. Bah.
 
slightly better last night. lets jsut hope that the season finale see's Owen & Tosh (has there ever been a more appropriate name?) brutally slain, and Ianto held hostatge by malicious aliens who will enjoy chaining him up and prodding him every now and again with a very big stick, just to punish him for being the worst actor in the world. Meanwhile Jack undertakes an end of year performance review and sends gwen off to do her actual job of police liason rather than being such an appaling investigator.

Then, they only need to find some half decent scriptwriters whose idea of 'adult' drama is kiddy crap with a bit of swearing and (very very) bad sex thrown in.

So you're a bit of a fan then?
 
Spoilers kinda speculation

In the next episode Jack meets Jack but is it Jack or is it someone whose identity he knicked? Because RTD is supposed to be against multi doctor episodes(5 doctors, 2 doctors etc) so wouldnt it be a bit stupid having a mutli jack episode?
 
Well, it was quite good until the two hundred foot high and suspiciously lightfooted CGI creature came along...
 
It's certainly made up for the last few extra-shit episodes.

So where is he gone then? Is this linked to his original appearance in Dr Who or is it a fresh appearance at a future episode I wonder...
 
Thought Jack kissing Jack was a bit shit. Died in a burning plane shouldn't he be in a cell somewhere? I think the tardis noise and the fact the doctors hand was glowing and such made a link to doctor who pretty obvious.
 
A typical scene in Torchwood...

INTERIOR: TORCHWOOD HQ, 'THE HUB'. GWEN, TOSH AND OWEN ARE HARD AT WORK LOOKING AT COMPUTER MONITORS, ALIEN RELICS AND SHIT. ENTER IANTO.

GWEN: Hi Ianto, what have you been fucking doing?

IANTO: Shagging Jack.

OWEN: I bet you love the look on his face when he comes, don't you?

IANTO: Fuck yeah.

(Enter Jack)

JACK: Are you all fucking talking about me behind my fucking back.

OWEN: So what if we fucking are? What are you going to do fucking about it?

JACK: Calm the fuck down, Owen, you're overreacting. Again.

(Owen pulls out a gun)

OWEN: Shut up Jack, or I'll shoot you in the fucking head.

GWEN: Owen, even though you're a really good shag, I don't think you should be doing this.

TOSH: Is now a good time to point out that I might be a lesbian?

(Owen shoots Jack in the head. Jack falls on the floor, seemingly dead)

IANTO: Fuck, he's killed Jack.

TOSH, GWEN AND IANTO: You bastard!

(Tosh is looking intently at a computer monitor)

TOSH: Oh no, the fucking rift is opening and disgorging a load of unconvincing CGI aliens/monsters/demons.

JACK: Shit, better let me see that.

GWEN: But aren't you dead?

JACK: Am I fuck.

OWEN: Anyone fancy a shag?

EVERYONE: Yes please!

THE END

In fairness, my flatmate likes both Who and Torchwood, and never twigged that the one is a spin-off of the other. Be quite entertaining to see what he'd make of the final scene...

Actually, I was very excited when the Dr's hand started to glow and we heard the sound of the tardis - Jack's back to Dr Who, which is as it should be. Torchwood was ok, but I'd easily bin it if the payback was Jack in Dr Who as a regularish character :D :cool:
 
Oh! It's the Dr's hand is it? I didn't get that. Why is it his hand, btw? Did I forget an episode of Dr Who where the dr lost his hand?:confused:

:D :D :D

The logic of the plot was seriously threadbare in places last night.

Tosh needs a 'more permanent' way of writing a message for 60+ years in the future.

Message 1: Written in ink, so she decides to use an Polaroid photo of it instead, then sticks that into a gas meter cupboard outside.

Message 2: Written in pencil. Not permanent enough, so she writes in blood, then sticks it into a coffee tin in a cupboard.

Polaroids and blood are more permanent than ink and pencil? :confused:

Sorry, what was Jack snogging Jack all about? Maybe there were no Messerschmidts and the good Captain's underlings actually shot him down the day after?

How did opening the rift bring Gwen's boyfriend back from the dead? He hadn't fallen through time, he'd been stabbed.

So much else. Disappointed.

2005 Crimbo special where the Sycorax (sp?) leader chopped off Tennant's hand and (as he was still regenerating) Tennant grew a new one.

Actually I've known all along it was linked to Dr Who. LilMissHissyFit didn't quite understand what I was asking. Was just wondering whether Jack's departure related to the appearance he made in Dr Who last season (the 2WW two-parter) or to a fresh appearance in the forthcoming series. Never mind, it's quite inconsequential anyway.

I'm gonna be stiff as a board for the rest of the day now! :mad: :D
 
If Abaddon was destroyed in the Torchwood episode, how does he reappear a couple of thousands of years later and light years away to be destroyed by the Doctor?
 
Nah it was a different thing..... one was only known as "the beast"

The other is Abaddon

interestingly there is an article about Abaddon in Wiki:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abaddon
 
Urrgggh, the bit where Jack did his Christ risen from the dead bit and hugged Owen "I forgive you", most-cringeworthy thing in the entire series.
:( :mad: :(
 
Well, I haven't a fucking clue what all that was about :confused:

Why was jack snogging that bloke in the dancehall? Was it him? Why did he kiss Ianto. :confused: :confused: :confused:
 
I thought the BBC skipped the pages in the history books regarding homosexuality in the 1940's with that ep. Especially in the army.

Innit :rolleyes: Everyone standing round, smiling sweetly. They'd have had their heads kicked in within 2 minutes.
