Right - the time cards would say when they punched in - but they won't remember any of it.
So there is something I can do, besides scream like a woman?

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
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.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is the Big Gay Sex too much for the BBC?
Quite possibly.
Honestly, I think they've done a huge amount so far--dancing back and forth between being pleased with themselves and making like it's no big deal.
I guess part of me wonders why it's all Torchwood's job. And another part suggests that for all we know, the BBC is showing Big Gay Sex on all their other shows.
Are they being faulted for not doing enough because they are doing some? If Jack was straight, would this come up?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
No, you're right. It's good that we're getting what we are. It's really rare to see a gay relationship played straight, as it were, not for laughs or for awkwardness. Kinda like seeing a happy married relationship.
I just finished reading a book by a popular author where the premise relied on both the characters and the readers having a certain expected homophobia. I'm really glad to have a television show where I'm not being expected to react poorly to the depiction of a gay relationship.
It's just...would it be so bad to show a hand on a bare shoulder from time to time? You know. That's all I'm saying. It's weird.

Just the fact that they show them occasionally kissing is enough better than most shows that I'm pretty happy with it. I feel more starved for those sort of displays of affection than for actual love scenes.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I liked an odd-numbered episode of Ashes to Ashes ! How about that.
I presume next week is the finale? Is there any word on whether they plan on a second season? I...hope they don't.

I'm guessing they are. But I believe Philip Glenister has said that's it for Gene Hunt after that.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Torchwood is shown during CBBC now (Children's BBC), so about 5pm during cartoons and such. They edit it down slightly, but obviously that would be slightly more complicated if Jack had his cock out all the time.
That end bit was a rubbish joke by the way - I do get what you're saying, Liese.
Russell T. Davis wrote Queer As Folk, what, a decade or so ago -- probably more, thinking about it -- which featured teenagers giving blowjobs to each other, anal action, that sort of thing. He's a geninuely lovely guy (and also, oddly giant like) and continues to push his 'gay agenda', as people in the fandom love saying. They're usually saying that whilst destroying the man online, though.

Perhaps Barrowman doesn't care for baring all at this point in his career?
(Feel free to correct me on this -- I'm sure he'd doff stuff at one point, but now that he's getting older? Though he looks in splendid shape with his clothes on, IMHO.)

So the rumor that it'll become a genuine family show starting with series 3 might be true?

I've honestly no idea. It runs during family programming right now anyway. British people tend to lean towards the liberal, I think.
I've met people who work on it - I can't see it them changing it for anybody. That said I don't know if the creative team will be the same next year due to the whole Who shutdown thing.
