'Unleashed'
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
To get Claire off his back. I don't think he wants Claire to meet them. I think that he wants to meet them. There's also the question of who's bankrolling him. Lindermann? That might explain why it was so easy for Daddy to get into the hotel to grab Nathan.
I suspect he's already found them. Probably years ago, when he was first looking. I think Claire's powers are what started him off on his quest of clandestine tattooing.

So... Torchwood ep 4. Did anyone see it? I just watched it last night.
It was one of those kinds of episodes which I quite enjoyed as I was watching, but which wasn't so great in retrospect, mainly because of the GAPING PLOT HOLES. But I like Ianto, and am glad he got a little more screen time than usual .

I saw it, but the show still isn't doing it for me.
Fiona--I thought 104 was particularly impressive in taking what everyone assumed would be a quiet secondary character and really packing a dramatic and emotional punch. I liked how they tied directly in with DW series two, like they automatically expected you to know the true tradgedy of the Cybermen. The huge gaping plot holes aside, I quite like Ianto and his super-dramatic storyline, and it was nice to take the focus off of Gwen, and Gwen+Jack, for awhile.
But I still think the completely random mid-episode snogging was ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous.
I have to agree with SA on this one. I didn't care for the ep. as much as some of the previous.
Torchwood 104:
If I closed my metaphorical eyes, I enjoyed it, but this thing where Gwen freezes in the face of danger is getting really tedious.

I have to agree with you, Dana. There was a time when I thought that they were pushing the Jack/Gwen thing because Gwen reminded him of Rose. But her clearly panicking at crunch time is not the quality that might bring out that response. Rose did not always know what to do, but she was able to think on her feet and contribute in important ways IN the thick of things. It was easy to view Rose as a naif but she had her eyes open. Gwen seems to have set up camp in her naivete like she is planning to retire in it. Or I could be talking through my hat.
Torchwood 1.04:
Man, I really go back and forth on Gwen. I want to like her so much, and at times I really do. She impressed me a lot in the first episode, and I quite liked her in the second as well; but I agree that she seems to be getting progressively more useless. I said, after last week's episode, that I was going to enjoy watching Torchwood toughen her up, but I do wish they'd hurry it up a bit.
I was also less than thrilled with the creepy, creepy objectification of Lisa's body in its Cyberwoman cage. The doctor groping her breasts and rubbing her stomach? A world of EW.
That said, I continue to love this show beyond any logical explanation. I can recognize that the stuff I mentioned above is problematic, and yet, I can completely ignore it in favor of the stuff I love: Captain Jack's kiss of life! The pterodactyl-vs.-Cyberwoman fight! Barbeque sauce! And dude, Captain Jack has become some kind of monster, hasn't he? I can't wait to find out how he got to such a dark place. Though I do hope we'll see some more glimpses of the old Jack at some point this season.
