Torchwood

[altariel]

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!

Burn Gorman's a v. good actor, but seriously - would you go for him over Capt. Jack? I had a more disgusted look on my face during their hot'n'heavy tree passion than with any of the gruesome corpses.

Would you call two of your central characters such similar-looking names as Owen and Gwen?

Tosh is obviously meant to fancy Owen. As if. I can't stop seeing as her Saffy's best mate in Absolutely Fabulous. They nearly all act as if they're in an episode of Hollyoaks.

Still enjoyed the Welsh cannibals though. Creepy. Much creepier than aliens. That's where "Jeepers Creepers" went wrong, IMHO. Once you realised the baddie wasn't human, he wasn't nearly as scary. Agree with the posters about those two X-Files episodes being some of the best TV ever (Mulder's line - upon discovering that suspect X had produced suspect Y by having sex with his own mother - "you mean he could ground his brother when he stole his toys?"). Also like "Humbug", despite the comparative lack of inbreeding plotline.

Finally say the first four eps of Boston Legal. I love it. "Denny Crane." Is it just me, or is James Spader actually really sexy?

I wouldn't go near Owen for a second, even with Jack so strangely subdued.

What did you think of this week's episode? I thought it was the strongest yet - the first time that the plot of the week and the characters seemed to be in alignment. Owen'n'Gwen become rapidly less and less attractive figures (if that was possibly with Owen).

I knew you'd like it, it's just brilliant.

He is sexy, but in such a way that you can't quite believe you're finding him sexy. IMHO. I can't stop watching him on-screen, even when Shatner is standing next to him and trying to steal the scene.
