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!

Owen was the only interesting bit, though I'm puzzled. They spent two episodes establishing that he was a nasty bit of work, and last night he's got the Tarrant-style "We've got to rescue the rest of our team" role.

I don't think there's necessarily any conflict between being a nasty bit of work and being loyal to a group (see football hooligans, soldiers who commit atrocities, etc). Did we see Owen displaying a 'run away and abandon the rest' attitude before? As far as I can recall, he's always pretty much on side and ready to get into the action.
