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.)

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
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.

Torchwood is shown during CBBC now (Children's BBC), so about 5pm during cartoons and such.
So the rumor that it'll become a genuine family show starting with series 3 might be true?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
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.

That end bit was a rubbish joke by the way - I do get what you're saying, Liese.
You mean the comment about "doing Ianto" while Gwen is gone?

Hah, no, I mean what I wrote about Jack walking around with his cock out.

Ann, that's a ferret.
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.
Which is why I liked the dancing scene. For the intimacy. There's also the comments that make clear that Jack and Ianto have a sex life together. Which you don't find so much of on TV.
There are plenty of places to find male-male sex scenes. As long as you don't limit yourself to what' aired on TV.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
OK, all questions of how much gay we show aside, Rhys is now my fucking hero. And I loved Jack's "Evil Dead" comment to him (and the bit about him having a good swing). I'm not sure what to think about the whole Retcon thing - it does seem a gross violation. However, given how they played Owen's alien roofie's (sp?) for laughs...

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I adore Rhys. There is very little in my television that I adore as much as Rhys, unless it is spelled "Ianto".

I would like Ianto to display a little bit of spine when it comes to Jack. Just because he knows he's being used doesn't make it feel any more palatable. And Jack's "Ianto" comment for things he'd be doing while Gwen was on honeymoon was colder than cold. I'm still not getting what they are pushing with the Jack/Gwen stuff - it's like I missed a season. The only thing I can think is if Jack had gone in the morgue he'd be in stasis, so even if he did revive they wouldn't know, and he's grateful for her not giving up on his coming back to an extreme degree.
