The first series of Torchwood has literally just been released on DVD.

Boxed Set, Vol. IV: It's always suicide-mission this, save-the-planet that.
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

Torchwood is reportedly one of BBC's most popular exports — the Internet is bursting with fan sites and fan fiction — and its premise is similar to that of Heroes: (mostly) normal people bound together in a mission to rescue humanity from invading ghouls and interstellar nastiness while battling their own neuroses and fears.
Uh...not so much.
Then there's sexually confused valet/administrative assistant Ianto Jones (Gareth David-Lloyd), who crushes both on Harkness and robot women.

Wow it's amazing how much they got wrong in that article.

It's as if they hadn't watched the show at all.

Or Heroes, because last time I checked, there were no interstellar villains on that show.

Describing Barrowman as "jut-jawed"? That's a good description of, say, Patrick Warburton or Bruce Campbell. Barrowman? NSM.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Barrowman's got a good jaw--very reassuring in a damsel-rescuing way, but no, not just-jawed. The real Jack Harkness was much more endowed in that sense.
Yeah, that article? NSM withe the fact checking.

Annoying -- how exactly is he confused? Also, I'd hardly call Gwen "unflappable." "At times irritatingly flappable," perhaps. Or that may be just me.
(Edited because I used "irritating*" two times in three sentences. Perturbing.)

And it's not like Ianto has this random attraction to robot women. He had a girlfriend who got turned into a robot. Totally different thing.
