I thought Dyson's wife and the woman detective were terrible actors, and Sarah herself wasn't too good either.
I agree that the first two weren't great, but I'm warming up more and more to Sarah after not being very impressed with her in the pilot.
Yeah. He's my hero.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, I love Dyson's wife. I think she's wonderful.
I have no idea WTF was up with the other detective, though.

Dyson's wife just sort of baffles me with the inconsistent way she's written. I can't get a read on her and how she actually feels about Sarah and the whole Skynet thing.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Well, the last time Sarah saw her it was 8 or 10 years after the previous time, so I figure Dyson's wife kinda' mellowed on the "It's Sarah's fault my husband died!" thing.

I do too.

I love that about her character, because I think that the character doesn't know either.

Vortex, as I wrote that, that's what I thought too.

I think she's definitely conflicted, because she wants to help Sarah but is unhappy that if she does, people may get killed.

plus, I think that she feels that her husband died in vain, because Skynet wasn't stopped.
As much as I hate the dream/voiceovers that seem to be starting each show, they bring up some interesting points. And I can totally identify with the scientists, because their goal is to solve a problem. They not so much concerned with what happens with the results. And frankly, an AI sounds like a good idea.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think that she feels that her husband died in vain, because Skynet wasn't stopped.
Yes, and that has to hurt and make all her interactions with Sarah cloudy. Even if it seemed a good idea at the time...well, it wasn't enough. And will anything be?

Regarding my question about whether I'd like Torchwood if I didn't like Dr. Who, my thanks to tiggy, victor and le nubian for your responses. I don't get BBC America through my cable company right now, but I'll put it on the list of things I want to look for as soon as it becomes available.
