Dude, why can you guys swear on TV and we can't? 
Just finished Torchwood. With the way everyone was talking on Whedonesque, I was thinking it was going to be horrible. I mean, they were really slamming it. But to be honest, I've seen much worse shows over the years. Then again, it could still get worse I suppose.
It seems Jack has inherited more than a sense of adventure from The Doctor. He's almost as callous too. It seems Gwen has kind of the same function as Rose and Martha, serving as a source of humanity to Jack (as well as the others). Looking forward to the next episodes; I think the show has potential.
(Then again, who am I kidding. I'd watch John Barrowman reading the phonebook. )

UK network TV has a 9PM "watershed" after which it is assumed that all good children will be in bed so it is ok to say
(but not ) and show people . This is workable, becuase when its 9PM in Plymouth, its 9PM in Aberdeen. If you wait until all good children are in bed in California then most of your Adult audience in New York will either be asleep or making their own
Note: I have no idea whether this is true (apart from the "UK watershed" bit), but it sounds awfully plausible so that's good enough for teh interweb.

What about my revalation from the Dr Who thread? Anyone got any comments on the fact that
Select to view spoiler:
James Marsters is going to appear in season 2!
?
Am I breaking an exciting story here or telling something that everyone knows?! I would love to be the first on the scene with the goss! I'm usually the last person to know anything. The last few series I've started to enjoy have usually already been cancelled before I ever heard of them!

Very sorry to disappoint, Emma, but the news broke on Whedonesque about two months ago. But don't worry, I'm sure you'll get you're breaking news announcement one day.

Personally I find these sentiments mildly offensive.
Heh.. each to their own and all that..
Personally I find homosexuality mildly or even slightly more than mildly offensive. I'm not a poofter basher or anything like that.. I can ignore their carryings on unless they try and involve me.
I'm not really trying to offend, I just find gayness unnatural and to your inference that I need to grow up.. i'm past that pal. You cant teach an old dog new tricks.
Heh.. each to their own and all that.
Now me, I find bigoted bb-brained bufoons who equate their own knee-jerk reactions to moral rightness to be more than mildly offensive.
I'm not really trying to offend, I just find closed minds in supposed adults unnatural. Maybe I need to grow up.
Naah. That's your job.

I don't know if he'll be a series regular, but he'll appear in at least two episodes. He was filming in Cardiff recently.

Equating knee-jerk reactions to moral rightness.... umm.. well.. whatever, probably makes sense in your head..
River Tam move over, we have a new mind reader. You seem to think you know me. You're saying that i'm a supposed adult? Hmmm, well I suppose you're correct on that one as I am an adult. You insinuate that i'm closed minded? Well, being a middle aged "adult" I have had a few years to consider why homosexuals are, and the implications and repercussions of their choice..(I must be closed minded because I dont agree with you?) And finally you make the claim that I have knee-jerk reactions??? Knee-jerk?? STUFF YOU! POOFTER (oops.. the bufoon in me in making an escape)

[quote}it's not really said WHEN torchwood takes place(unlike season 3, which we know is 2008), but it is clearly post season 2. jack has the doctor's hand from the Christmas invasion, and there are a couple mentions of the final battle of season 2...
but all in all a good watch
I dont know whether you've seen Doctor who season 3 yet (or end of season 1 torchwood) and I dont want to spoil it but the events in the last 2 minutes of Torchwood S1 and the first two minutes of Episode 11(?) (its the episode called Utopia anyway) of Who season 3 occur (in series time at least) at exactly the same momeht as can be seen by what transpires in those few minutes. So its some time in 2008 but after the battle of Canary Wharf.
This post will only probably make sense if you have seen season three doctor who and the last episode of torchwood season 1
