I know some people are raving about it on other boards.
I dunno why but i didn't take to it.


What about the ardent WHO fans here, Whats your take on it?

(Although seeing PC Gwyn Cooper lessing off with a 19 yr old was fun, i got a slap off the wife for Whooping at that)

[Kie99]

Really liked it, I thought it was better than large parts of this years Dr Who.  It got the highest ever non-sport non-terrestrial ratings.

[IPAndrews]

I'm a casual Who fan and I casually liked it. Can't say I'll go out of my way to watch it in the future but if there's nothing better on then sure I'll tune in. I wouldn't mind seeing how the Captian Jack is Captain Scarlett thing works out. I do wish they'd stop ramming the bisexuality thing down our throats in such an obvious fashion though.

[redmenace]

Are you talking about the season finale?

[Kie99]

No.  Spin-off from Dr Who, with Captain Jack running a Torchwood institute based in Cardiff.

[IPAndrews]

Oh it was always going to be Cardiff wasn't it.

[redmenace]

oh, interesting. Although I am not sure I could stomach the whole bi-sexual/metrosexual nonsense.

[Colonol Dekker]

There were 3 bi-references in Ep 1 alone, I think the writers hiding something...........

Still, CSI cardiff reference should get the Beeb thinking

[vyper]

Wait is this like... male bi or female bi? I will endorse the latter.

[an0n]

I feel I should note a few things about where I think they're going with Torchwood....

The hand in the jar? The one the aliens cut off the Doctor during the Christmas Day Invasion. And I reckon Jack's studying it to find out how he's able to regenerate.

Then there's the matter of the 'giving life' thing, which we've seen the Doctor do in Rise Of The Cybermen.

And we know from Doctor Who that he's a time traveller, which means he's brimming with the time-radiation used by the Daleks to power certain technology and which probably comprises the bulk of the make-up of the Time Vortex.

So I reckon when the Bad Wolf (the Time Vortex inhabitting Rose) brought Jack back to life in the Season 1 finale of Doctor Who, she did one of two things: She either over-did the energy and infused him with ****load of time-radiation, effectively making him some kind of demi-God, or she flat-out made him a Time Lord.

I'm hoping it was the latter, and they explain his presence in present-day Cardiff as him having used some half-assed TARDIS to skip across the Rift.

[starbug]

i for 1 loved the show, i am doctor who fan and i think this goes well with it, Also like the fact that its more of an adult programe and a bit more darker than doctor who and its captain jack harkness, i can't wait to see episode 4 which is about a half converted cyberman(woman) from Doomsday, and from what i have read the final eps are ment to have a big battle in, dunno if thats true.

Britich TV just cant do good SCI FI.

[Fineus]

Britich TV just cant do good SCI FI.

Are you kidding me? British TV is responsible for some great sci-fi (Dr Who being one of them).

Admittedly we don't tend to have the big-budget capabilities of Stargate, Star Trek, Firefly, BSG and so on - but I like to think that what we don't have in quantity we make up for in quality.

[aldo_14]

Britich TV just cant do good SCI FI.

We can, however, spell 'British' and use capitals correctly.  And in the end, isn't that what really matters?

[Flipside]

British TV cannot do good special effects, they do, however, do good sci-fi.

[IPAndrews]

He wants his flashy special effects or he'll cry like a girl.

[Bobboau]

I'm still interested in hearing wether it's man-bi or girl-bi.

[Mefustae]

I'm still interested in hearing wether it's man-bi or girl-bi.

There's a difference? ...Other than the latter being much cooler to hear about than the former...

Lol, Bi females are just a waste of Lesbian.

[IPAndrews]

To put you out of your misery Bobboau, we saw both.
