torchwood

[Vintage Paw]

OK, I enjoyed it muchly.

I was getting a bit too excited when they were having that raunchy snog.

Then I got even more excited at the thought of Jack and Ianto

I've said too much.

 

[zoooo]

Loved it so so much!

I'm glad Spike's back for another one.
And that Jack's going to have a romance instead of just a shag with lovely old Ianto.

 

[andy2002]

A considerable improvement on the first series but still only about as good as an average Doctor Who ep. Loved the blowfish at the start, the "Bloody Torchwood" line, James Marsters and the references to Buffy. Not so arsed with the rest of it - apart from Jack, the characters are still as dull as cardboard.

 

[Andy the Don]

I like Torchwood it's a load of old hocum & as camp as a scouting jamboree. But why the fuck if you were an alien would you land in fucking Cardiff. You would probably have the shit beaten out of you for not being from Cardiff within 5 minutes of arriving through the rift.

 

[DotCommunist]

poor show. It was good when spike lobbed that bloke off the multisroty though. That and the cheesy barfight were win

Torchwood is pants. I don't think much of Barrowman either: he's one of the most unconvincing actors that I've ever had the misfortune to watch.

I'm coming round to get you

Actually I've seen him a couple of times on stage in musicals and he seems to be one of those actors who are much better and more suited to supporting roles rather than leading roles which is why I think he is better in "Dr Who" than in "Torchwood"

I'd still shag him though

I agree with you and I think he's more of a musical actor tbh.

He'll only shag you if you're gay.

Is Ianto the potato-head guy?

I agree that the human Torchwoody types are all well boring. Never seen it before, but they failed to impress last night. I'll still be watching next week, just for moar Spike.

 

[gnoriac]

Not impressed with the "improved" version, it still lacks any real darkness or mystery, the producers seem to care more about making it glossy - guns, cars, flirting, etc. The average Dr Who episode is way more gripping - there's nothing in Torchwood that'd have yer average 5 year old hiding behind the sofa.

The only thing remotely more "adult" about it is Captain Jack snogging all the blokes and when you've seen it once...

During the bar fight scene I geekishly compared the sex/fight dynamic to that Buffy scene where Spike and Buffy fight/fuck

Yeah - and the other bloke, Owen, looks like King of the Frogmen.

I've just been to the Torchwood homepage and have set a picture of John Barrowman and James Marsters as my screen background.

I feel a middle aged ladys crush coming on!

OOOH any freelancers fancy working on the series??

There was quite a lot of Buffy parallels, I thought. The opening where the team are chasing down a creature while their leader is AWOL, then have to deal with him coming back, was very like the Scoobies at the start of series 3 (although resolved much quicker). There were some more but I can't remember them now because all I can think about is the Spike and Buffy fight/fuck

The way James Marsters' said "Thirsty now" was a nod to the episode where a vampire Willow from an alternate universe says "Bored now" (an oft quoted line by Buffy fans, I believe), and I smiled when he said that the team could "do with a blonde".

 

[innit]

That was very silly.

And, as such, fantastic

I love Torchwood

Yay, I love everything about it especially the crap bits

There are no real jobs available as Torchwood is fictional. We apologise if you thought this was the case.

Oh.

 

[ddraig]

Oh.

......you want to see it again please

 

[zoooo]

Hee!

I wish I'd taped it now...
Although. bbc iplayer?

 

[Belushi]

Terrible show, I only watch it cos its likely to be the only Welsh Science Fiction show ever made

And one of my cousins played a cannibal in the last series

 

[greenfield]

Oh I loved the cannibal episode!

Who are the real monsters, eh?


Torchwood really is so bad it's great.

Yes and yes! Well remembered

*cleans mind*

 

[Belushi]

I like all the overhead, nightime shots trying to make Cardiff look like LA

 

[greenfield]

And the bits where Jack stands on top of buildings for no reason at all!

Do you really have a rift in time & space there? Must make getting back from the pub after a skinful rather difficult.

If it's a rift in space time sometimes you met get home drunk before you've even left and beat yourself up in a drunken rage

Not sure but the city centre on a saturday night is full of things that aren't quite human!
