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.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I don't see (sorry, folks) many people remembering Torchwood in twenty years' time other than for the Jeopardy-level factoid that it had the first bi action hero on it.
I can't quarrel with this assessment. I think part of the problem is that Captain Jack was very different on Doctor Who than he is on Torchwood. DW was a charming pangalactic (and pantime) rogue and conman. Put him at the head of TW, and suddenly he has responsibilities -- and he's lost some of the je ne sais quoi that made him a delight to watch on DW.
Kind of like running into the partying free spirit ten years later, after a marriage and two kids.

You know, whenever I see this word I expect it to be followed by "gargleblaster".

Another word that might apply to Captain Jack, though not in the original Hitchhiker's Guide sense.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I just watched the preview for [Eleventh Hour] (CBS didn't include a full pilot in their press kit), and yeah, mess is a pretty good word for what I saw. I'm almost tempted to watch it just to answer the question "WTF???" Almost.
I loved it when Hood was played by Patrick Stewart. Of course, I would watch Patrick Stewart read the dictionary. Also, that description of the first ep is spoilery like whoa. I think that's why it's such a mess. It tells just about the entire story in a paragraph, instead of being a description of the series.

Based on what I saw, the Futon Critic description pretty accurately reflects the tone of the series.
