Based on what I saw, the Futon Critic description pretty accurately reflects the tone of the series.
Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.
Anya ,'Potential'
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.

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

I'd like to see The Doctor (current incarnation) call Ford Prefect out on the carpet for stealing his schtick.

oh, dear. Well, I'll give it a watch anyway. Of course it will annoy me if the show is just remakes of the british eps. Which I HATED about the American Coupling.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
part of the problem is that Captain Jack was very different on Doctor Who
I don't see either Jack as iconic though--do you?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
The Jack on Season 1 of Doctor Who verges on it, at least in his introductory 2-parter and the finale. But on Torchwood I mainly view him as an overly loud prop for Ianto to make out with.

I have to admit that one of my reactions was "Again? Seriously?"
But the others were all "Whee!"
Nice pause there on the Doctor's part there. You know the one I mean.
