yes, actually i have seen it all, but there is 1 SMALL difference in those events, that as of yet anywho, we can't really explain away (rest in spoiler mode as not to ruin it for others)
Select to view spoiler:
In the end of torchwod, the TARDIS appears/disappears(w/ Jack & the Hand in tow) INSIDE THE HUB, and in Utopia, The Doctor "parks" the TARDIS UP ON THE PLAZA,( to recharge the systems via the rift energy) and Jack comes running Towards the TARDIS with a knapsack on his back containing the hand.
that is my 2 cents anywho.
if you Wish to compare, PM me, i can put together a DVD with both scenes.
on an unrelated note,
as far as Marsters goes, is his character gonna be American, or a Brit. just wondering if he'd be reviving the Spike Accent(which over time turned into a Tony Head impression), or his own SO CAL accent( which still after all this time weirds me right the fuck out)
Just curious...

Lovin' Torchwood so far. Yes, the second episode was kind of a rip-off of "Lonely Hearts", but I still really enjoyed it. I don't know why I've heard people bashing it so much.
Obviously The Doctor's leaving really messed Jack up. He nearly blew the whole case over that severed hand. On the other hand, I have to applaud him. He told Gwen to go home, to enjoy her regular life, whereas The Doctor would have taken someone away from it. Jack understands the value of human ties, something I don't think The Doctor will ever grasp (or at least will be very slow to do so). Definitely looking forward to the next episode.

Okay, I'm about to become real unpopular around here. 
I actually liked "Cyberwoman". Yes, the costume was god-awful (a metal bikini? High heels? Yeesh). But the story itself wasn't really that bad. And poor Ianto. He really went through the ringer. Torchwood may be no Buffy or Angel, and the writing isn't always up to par, but I think this has a lot of potential.
And if we're gonna talk about bad TV, we can always tune in to Moonlight. Yuck.

Its enjoyable, but a bit variable. Main problem is that Torchwood is trying to be adult, gritty and disturbing while sharing a "universe" with Doctor Who - which is aimed partly at children and has traditionally had a camp, B-movie tone (Cyberwomen wearing metal bikinis and high heels would fit right in there). Sometimes the result is (to quote a friend of mine) "not really adult - just unsuitable for children" with sex scenes and bad language dropped in just for the sake of it. The plots also veer between quite good, original ideas and silly "monster of the week" capers.
I think what really disappointed me was the last episode when: (minor spoilers)

They start off with a really good idea - time travellers appearing bringing historical plagues with them - then forget about it in favour of "Evil villain awakes giant monster for no adequately explored reason" (and becomes its first victim - don't evil geniuses ever watch horror movies!?)
Now, if you really want adult entertainment, we lucky peeps in the UK have just been treated to Billie Piper (yup, Rose from Dr Who) in "The Secret Diary of a Call Girl". Not sure if that will make it stateside...
(...and its all done in the best paaaasible taste)
(...except perhaps the opening 5 seconds which were a very unsubtle reference to Rose's first appearance in Dr Who...)

Umm, raise your hand if "ewww"?

Just finished "Countrycide". If Gwen was gonna screw a team member, for the love of God, couldn't it have been Jack? Or Christ, even Ianto? Owen's a complete ass. I knew she wasn't going to stay with Rhys, but icky. I was hoping she'd have better taste.
Not the greatest episode, but okay. One thing I've enjoyed about the show is the fact that they show each character's flaws (which in many cases tend to be monumental). Too often in American TV, we have these superheroes that have no faults. Torchwood, on the other hand, is full of fuck-ups. Kind of refreshing, really.

Nothing remarkable - just that they both started with some nice postcard views of London followed by Rose/Belle's hand reaching out to turn off her alarm clock. Coincidence?
(Unless I'm hallucinating - I don't have either recorded just now)
