Happy EUREKA day, everyone. I'm unreasonably fond of that show, even if I nitpick it to death afterwards.

Yeah, not so much with the Torchwood love myself either. I'm afraid I just couldn't get around Owen being just a reprehensible pig and the show having no underlying sense of humour. Just a wee smidge of not-taking-ourselves-TOO-seriously would have gone down a treat. (I was surprised, as it's one of the things I love best about Dr Who is the ability to put forth a serious subject in a not-humourless manner.)
On the other hand, I've seen the pilot for the Sarah Jane Chronicles (not to be confused with the Sarah Connor Chronicles, in case I am) and thoroughly enjoyed it. Maybe the Whoverse simply works best when it allows itself to be a kid show watched by adults, rather than trying to put an adult stamp on something that needs an essential touch of innocence to work.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It's The Sarah Jane Adventures.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Torchwood does get better, interesting things happen, and even Owen gets partly redeemed.
Second half of season is better.

I liked Torchwood better than season 2 of Doctor Who.
Although, I am really enjoying season 3 of Doctor Who.
The pilot of the Sarah Jane Adventures is lots of fun.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Yeah, TW took a few episodes to grow on me -- but when it did, I got to lurve it with a big big lurve like no other show I was watching at the time. (This is not to say, "I don't care if you hate it! You must watch more!", but if you don't hate it but it's not quite working for you, give it another shot. If nothing else, it's Capt. Jack goodness all the time.)

Well, I watched Torchwood in blocks of 3 or 4 episodes so I got right into it.

I don't want to spoil any details on the off chance that somebody might actually enjoy watching, but people who are on the fence about the show might want to wash their hair or something when the 4th episode airs.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I enjoyed Torchwood much more on rewatch, since I knew sort of what to expect. And I would gift-wrap Ianto and take him home if I could.
