TorchWood

[Pygmy_Hippo]

Well that wasn't great.

Maybe i'm not the best one to judge, because despite a good premise and an engaging leading man I thought Season 1 was only marginally superior to Hollyoaks, still making it less fun than contracting the Norovirus.

Did show an improvement over S1 - did anyone else feel that James Marsters looked a bit like that Robson Green bloke?

^Lol

I enjoyed the first episode, I never really got into Torchwood as much as i would of liked to, I kept missing the episodes.

The minute he walked into the bar I saw that kiss coming a mile away. :huh:

And in the previews it seems that "spike" since I can't remember his name in the show, John was it? comes back at a later date due to the preview for the series.

And what was the name he mentioned at the end, Grace or grey?

To be fair, I felt it suffered from the ame issues that series 1 suffered from:

1) It's BBC & British

It's far too british and underproduced. The music never feels big enough, the sets are too bland.

2) It doesn't know what it is

Is it for teens, adults, who?

3) Needless "adult" material

All the adult conversations seem bolted on at the last minute. They don't feel natural. The "Oooh, I am Bi" thing feels like a novelty rather than a character trait.

It's as crap as ever. The only bit I liked was the arrival of Captain John Hart. His scene was very well done. Other then that a load of crap. The two good episodes was the angel one and the airplane story.

I find they are forced to say stupid things and the exposition with the asian bird and her gizmos very annoying.

Quality of the picture and the direction always seem fine, it's the story and music which is very weak. I felt the person playing John Hart outacted everyone. Njlouch I agree with the underproduced, they use sex and kissing to progress the story. As for the british bit, well it's a low form of wit which is causing it being rubbish. A good script will always use this sparingly.

I find the producers let way to much crap get through. Compared to Dr Who, this should be an all out adult. Insteads it's utter tosh and lots of kissing and sodomy. I find Dr Who much better, considering it's got to appeal from ages 5 to 70. So they mix ****ty child storys with slow moving good quality ones (aka Moffat and Cornell episodes).

As for Touchwood, it needs to be refined.

Not a bad episode, I liked Captain John Hart, Awesome Character!, More ever him please and I will be happy.

Btw what was the song when John said something to Jack saying somethong about "I found Gray"?

yes kissing scenes are quite annoying and unecessary. :(

I still watch it for some strange reason. I suppose it's nice to track everything

i know it has with weird drawing power :p

i guess its just fun to watch regardless of all the bad points.

[Pretend]

I know Owen was gonna die when Martha Jones turned up doing his job beter that him :/

[Pretend]

:| When Russell T. Davies was talking about why they killed Owen he said "This kind of show needs a death every once in a while." OMGZ crap reason :/

[Rappy Veteran]

I watched my first episode ever of torchwood tonight purely because the Brits were boring me and wow good show...tacky death tho.

[Pretend]

:o you haven't saw Torchwood :o :p

It is usually a better show than what it was tonight, much more weird creatures e, ect.

The death was tacky, but he was a good character and as I stated before.

[Rappy Veteran]

I think I will have to watch all of Season 1.

[Corris Veteran]

Twas a good episode, I enjoyed it.

I enjoyed the one on BBC three better, "Death" was interesting, well, it was an interesting take on him, instead of a robe sorta thing he was a skeleton surrounded in black fog.

And after watching Owen die, I knew they were going to bring him back, though I'm not sure how happy I would be living and not having certain "parts" of me work anymore. :p

[RDPaul]

Twas a good episode, I enjoyed it.

Indeed it was. I cant wait for the next one now.

[Rappy Veteran]

I sky+ the BBC 3 one and I shall watch later tomorrow :D

[Rappy Veteran]

I just watched BBC 3's

Does this mean he is a time bomb that he could die die at any second

[Pretend]

^ I just watched it there, and I have to say not a bad episode (but I did want to see more weevils and a fight between them or something) Anyway.. Rappy yeah i think he could die at any time because Tosh said You could live another 30 years and Owen said .. or another 30 seconds :o

[qdave]

this is an interesting turn of events. now the show is goingto be even more fun :) i think.

[Pretend]

Episode 8 was awesome :)

[Rappy Veteran]

Episode 8 was awesome :)

I forgot it was on but good thing for Sky+

[Rappy Veteran]

Just watched this weeks, was rather good Owen seems to be totally awesome because he can do anything and can't die...downside tho get injured it ain't gonna heal!
