More viewing-of-things

Of all the shows that I'm addicted to, Torchwood is by far the worst.

This said, they had a blowfish on crack driving a sports car and Spike wanting to shag a poodle. Also hot boys making out with each other for reasons utterly tangential to the plot (it's like they realized that people only watched the last season for the porn value, and they just went with it). And you just don't see that that on TV, usually.

I have never heard of this show. Is this one of those gay Canadian things?

I watched all of the first season, waiting for it to be as good as everyone claimed it was. Didn't happen.

The one episode that I almost liked a lot was the time travel one, where people from the past get stuck in our time...

...up until Owen used the word "fuckbuddy", and that just pulled me right out of the story. Not because I'm offended by the concept or anything like that -- it just seemed completely inappropriate in the context. If you can erase that one or two minutes of the episode, it was pretty damn good.

I hear the guy who wrote Blink might be taking over the reigns on Doctor Who, and maybe Torchwood as well, so that bodes well, at least.

See, I prefer to think that the hot boys making out with each other is entirely integral to the plot and the show in general, and they've really only just realised it. Hello, your main character is Captain Jack Harkness! What else would the show be about?

Here's to hoping the rest of the season has this level of crack...

Mmmmm, I'm waiting for the Second season to arrive to my part of the world, and all this spoiling that's going on about Spike is very, very frustrating.

I kept screaming at the TV "just cut his fucking arm off and throw him in the rift, idiots, stop trying to save that asshole".

But you know, the show is suspension of disbelief in a nutshell. Heh.
