Question, I'm on BBC's iPlayer, but they don't list episode numbers - I can't figure out which Torchwood is which! [link]

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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Adam is episode 5; Reset is episode 6.

Bad/meh episodes include "Taking the Stone" ("the boringest episode that ever boringed"), "Home on the Remains," "Dream a Little Dream," and "The Locket."
I agree with these, and would probably incude Picture if You Will and My Three Crichtons on the list. And then I would list The Locket 2 or 3 more times, because, holy god.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Cool. Now I know which episodes to really pay attention to, and which ones I can focus on eating pizza and petting the cat while watching....

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

Yeah, I think I liked "Picture If You Will" even though it was kind of silly, and I was just sort of disappointed in "My Three Crichtons" for not being fresh and new with the concept.
And then I would list The Locket 2 or 3 more times, because, holy god.
Holy God, indeed.

I didn't mind "Picture if You Will" so much, but when an episode in which Ben Browder spends a significant amount of time running around wearing nothing but prosthetics can't pull me in for a rewatch, you know the story has to be pretty bad. And we are of one mind concerning the new dimensions of suckitude that "The Locket" discovered.

I kept wondering why his accent apparently got stronger the longer he lived away from his south'rn roots on that barren planet.

Well, there was a certain element of fannish squee of the J/A type associated with The Locket. If you squint a bit.
Thankfully, I didn't buy into it, but then I started watching the show with "Green Eyed Monster", by which point, well. I don't want to spoil Tommyrot.
I feel I should stick up for "My Three Crichtons", for reasons that have more to do with the way the writers tend to circle back to particular issues again and again, each time getting a bit more complex and wrinkly with them. M3C is just the second iteration of that particular issue. (If you count "Exodus from Genesis" the first, anyway...)

Oh, ha! I had forgotten about that.
Man, I feel like I want to do a whole rewatch now. But that's not happening any time soon. Too bad.
