River ,'War Stories'
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.
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.
HOLY SHIT! Lucky Spencer is Kyle Reese!!!
So wait - who built Skynet?
"Sometimes they go bad. No one knows why."
Heh.
