Do not understand where Jack's crush on Gwen came from unless it's because she seems to be the only peson not crushing on him. That, or it's fallout from Gwen refusing to give up on Jack coming back to life the last episode of season 1. But whatever it is, I shouldn't have to work this hard to make it sensical.

god yes. It's so forced! And the actors are doing the right things, saying the lines right, etc. but, it still doesn't ring true.

I think it was "Pray they survive."

I thought it was "pray he survives" i.e. Rhys.

Torchwood: I can't remember which episodes are white font and which aren't at the moment because they are on my home computer. General comments, love show. Want more. Now. They make me care about the characters. Lots.

I just saw the Doctor Who series 4 trailer, which they've attached to prints of Jumper in the UK. It looks freakin' great.

Also, a question: what do people like about Torchwood? Any favourite episodes? What doesn't work?

what do people like about Torchwood?

Drama turned up to 11. Sly humor. Boykissing (and girlkissing).

Any favourite episodes?

"They Keep Killing Suzie," "Out of Time," "Captain Jack Harkness", "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang".

What doesn't work?

Misfires in tone. Questionable character decisions that don't come across as the writers seem to intend them to -- Owen's date-rape in the first episode, Tosh's bouts of doormattishness, Gwen being an ass to Rhys for no good reason. Barrowman overreaching.

So... UK only, huh....

Laura, we just saw episode 2.4 here "Meat".

My dvr tells me we're getting episodes 2.5 and 2.6 this weekend but other dvrs and TV Guide are saying that 2.6 won't air 'til March 1st. . . so probably not 'til March 1st.

Weird juxtaposition of seeing Summer as River a couple of hours ago on Scifi and now as Cameron on fox.

The SO brought home a huge slab of beef that was on sale for nearly nothing at the grocery. It's in my freezer now, making me suspicious. Alien meat!

Eeep. The alien meat might be more appetizing than the stuff they recalled.
