Yes, watch Torchwood after season 2, and then they pretty much alternate. And don't feel bad if you don't like Torchwood.
They're doing it backwards; walking up the down slide.

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.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, feel bad if you don't love Jack and Ianto. It means you have no magic in your spleen. Don't listen to Dana.

I am pretty sure that I'll love Torchwood. And Jack and Ianto. I mean, I already love Jack, and I've heard nothing but lovely things about Ianto. But I do know some spoilery things on that front, mostly because of someone's tagline here. But that's alright!
What about it do you think I may not like?

Just caught up the last month or so, everybody's pretty much covered everything I would have said, except that no one else copped to being hooked on the crack that was (is?) The Tribe. So, I'm here to admit to a (mostly former) ridiculous fondness for the show and stand in solidarity with...zuisa was it?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

That none of the characters are likable, the episodes aren't interesting, and it's needlessly "edgy"?
I quit four or five episodes in, but I've been considering giving it a second chance.

It's very different from Doctor Who. Much more over-the-top. I actually really loved it until the mini-series.

Whereas the massive acclaim for the miniseries was what got me interested in checking it out again.

There is no massive acclaim for the mini-series coming from this corner.

Yeah, the miniseries was some quality work, but it hurt.

YES!! Oh my. Let us stand together in solidarity. I haven't seen it for years, but when it was airing on some obscure cable channel we happened to get, I was ALL ABOUT IT. My brother and I were totally hooked. I still have a few livejournal icons of it, and is always makes me happy whenever someone knows what it is.
Someone told me the actor who played Bray is on Legend of the Seeker, and I almost looked into that just for that reason.
So. Favorite characters? Plotlines? I really loved the whole crazy religious cult of the Chosen, but then the Technos were really freaking awesome. Or maybe I just thought Jay and Mega were attractive.
