I didn't read those, mainly because I assumed they'd be spoilerific.

Personally, I really enjoyed it. It was lightly humourous, bit of action, reasonable plotlines. I mean - it's no Firefly, but it was good fun for a Sunday night's entertainment.

Oh, and FWIW (for those that don't already know) Torchwood is an anagram of Doctor Who.

I thought the joke Matrix reference was risky too. Ill-fitting leather and enough water to ruin the coiffure looks dangerously like no-one cares.

Someone in Costume should speak up. They must know that the Hero in the Big Coat needs broad shoulders and narrow hips - not the other way round. John Barrowman is making a decent attempt at the difficult task of turning a guest role into a leading man, tho.

Someone in Fight Arrangement should speak up. They must know that if you haven't got the budget, you shouldn't even try.

Like they say, the first six episodes are a pilot. Lots of time to decide.

on the contrary, they just tease enough to make you want to see them.

I did know that, the anagram thing, its what they labelled the early scripts and stuff to throw would be leaks off the scent or somthing.

John barrowman looked good in the costume - he looks everyman and very attractive - theres this tendency to make the enitrie cast of everything super gorgeous, and i think this cast, though very attractive, looks normal enough, i thought he did a good job - the question i would ask about the costume is why is he in millitary stuff? Wasn't his appreaence in the blizt part of a scam of his - i thought he was a traveller like the doctor and it was just a disguise, so why have they put him in it now?

But yes, it was fun, and entertaining, and it does look like they're going to get some great writers in.

Isn't sanity really a one trick pony, anyway?I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking! But when you're good and crazy...ooh hoo hoo hoo... the skys the limit!
