Torchwood was such good fun. kiss kiss bang bang indeed. The cohesiveness and banter were lovely things. And so much fun in the preview too. Still a bit freaked by the fallen broken Jack. Youch! Gwen did great freaked OMG I'm gonna die. Not sure I know what to think of Jack's reaction to the engagement. Past my bedtime so off to Torchwoody dream land. Ah, it was good to have back on my computer screen.

Missing in action since 2002...

Okay, people need to tell me where they're getting their stuff, because the places I've tried so far didn't have it.

I'm sure it's up on all the .torrent sites, but I use

http://rss.bt-chat.com/?cat=9

for my misc broadcatching needs. TW hasn't shown up on tvrss yet.

I definitely think this series of TW is better than last. I didn't even watch all of the last season, but I think I'll stick with it for this one. My favourite bit was definitely Jack and Ianto in the office. Aww, so adorable. It reminded me of QAF back in the day. Lovely dialogue.

I must be the odd-one-out here because last night's Torchwood didn't do much for me.

I wish they had tried to separate JM's character from Spike just a tiny little bit. Instead, they seemed to be trying to make him as Spike-like as possible. The accent, the super-strength, the references to liking blondes... all that was missing was the peroxide. But I really wanted to see him play somebody different.

Ianto was cute and the stopwatch was cute and there were a few funny bits, but mostly.... ugh, perhaps I just wasn't in the right mood .

I felt the same way about JM, Fiona. It seemed to be intentional, but I would have preferred if they went another direction there.

eta: the previews showed more JM, so I hope they let the character develop into John and not Spike.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I thought there a couple of shoutouts to Spike, but otherwise found the character to be distinctive.

I really enjoyed it, which is saying a lot since I couldn't bring myself to stick with the first season, despite having read all the discussions here for doing just that. Could. Not. Watch.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Torchwood: I hate JM's normal accent, so I was kinda relieved they decided not to go with it. But I didn't feel that Captain John was that Spikey otherwise.

I enjoyed the ep. Had a good balance of snogging and fighting.

My assumption, based on the proportions in that shot at the end, is that Graham or whoever is a kid--perhaps Jack's son? Little brother?

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

insent tiggy.

Had a good balance of snogging and fighting.

This alone makes me wanna watch. Okay, I wanted to already, but this is an outstanding review line.

I just caught up in the thread and although I do like the SCC, I am in the camp thinking the true Sarah Conner would have asked Cameron to wait until John got back to stitch her wound. She would have dealt with some blood loss just so John could learn some field medic technique. Overall, I am happy with it though.

Oh, and from way back in the thread, I will blame DW Blinkfor the rest of my life for the second glances I give statuary.
