Is it pointless to watch Torchwood on DVD if I've never seen Dr. Who?Like, is there important backstory I need? Such as why in the hell does Captain Jack Hotass have a hand in a jar that's super important to him?
I've picked up a good amount of info about the show just from being on LiveJournal and reading stuff, but it occurred to me that maybe I'm being silly and should watch Dr. Who first.
Thoughts?
You can enjoy it without Doctor Who, Teppy. The hand in the jar is an example of neat back story stuff but it's not vital to the plots of Torchwood.
Steph, I watched Torchwood with pleasure without watching Dr. Who.
I did go on-line and hunt up a bit of backstory for a couple of shows, but the info just added to the story; I didn't NEED it.
Yeah, it's not like the Transporter movies where it would be madness to watch Transporter 2 before the first Transporter.
Holy crap. Just found out that our landlady (who has become a good friend) is adjusting her will so that if anything happens to her, this two-house property becomes ours. Granted, she's young and healthy and the house is 100% mortgaged at the moment, but still. HOLY CRAP. Hallmark doesn't have a "Thanks for giving us the house in the event of your untimely demise" card, but I kind of feel like I need one.
Wow, that's very cool, Pix.

There's probably a Someecard for it.
Pix, that's amazing. There you go, independent verification of how awesome you and ND are.
Oh, Pix, that's lovely.

Or you could make your own.
Ironically, I doubt we could afford the mortgage (she bought at he height of the market, and I know we pay less in rent than she pays in mortgage), and we wouldn't be able to sell in this market, so that is one of many reasons why I hope it becomes a sweet gesture and nothing more. Still, such an incredible concept.
