Torchwood

So, Torchwood. Kind of... icky, wasn't it? I think I get the story might be about corruption now. But Gwen is a useless POV character (and I'll never forgive her for what she's doing to Barry Backstory; although I think Burn wotsisname is giving the best performance in the show). I think if I was about fifteen, I might think this was the best TV programme I had ever seen. As it is - well, it's better than Robin Hood. But nowhere near as good as Strictly Come Dancing.

Hey, though! They're showing Crown Court on Legal TV!

I sort of made it through the pilot and was booored. And when I saw screenshots of Lisa the bikini-clad cyberwomen two weeks ago I deleted all the unwatched episodes from my hard-drive in a fit of rage.

This week's reaction posts to / summaries of the Welsh cannibal hillbillies don't really make me regret this decision. Hasn't anyone in Wales seen The Texas Chainsaw Massacre yet? Or at least a few X-Files episodes?

Actually, from what I've heard about it, Countrycide does remind me a bit of the X-Files stories Our Town and Home -- which I, aged 15, actually considered to be among the best things ever, so your observations re: Torchwood might be justified.

If only I had done that. I may have to friend you on the strength of this alone.

It was the close-up picture of the cyber-crotch complete with a lovingly detailed cyber-thong that did it for me.

If you should actually be interested in friending me, just go ahead, please. I certainly don't mind. (One or two words of warning, though: I tend to find my own journal a bit dull sometimes, and I don't get most critical theory. :D)
