Torchwood

Register

Anyone watch this? It's a Doctor Who spin-off starring Captain Jack Harkness. I saww the first two episodes last week and really enjoyed it (i don't have BBC3 so I have to wait till wednesdays on BBC2) and am relly looking forward to tonight's episode. the guy who plays Captain Jack is pretty damn hot and the other characters seem good too.
It's aimed at more of an adult audience than Doctor Who so there is some bad language and reference to matters of a sexual nature (though it's still BBC at 9pm so it's not exactly hardcore lol)

I'd recommend it from what I've seen so far - It's got aliens and great technology, good characters, funny and insightful dialogue and good-looking actors in the lead roles plus some nifty special effects...everything you want from Science Fiction

I havn't seen this, will keep my eye out though :]

Torchwood is progressing well, probably not everyone's cup of tea but I like it, might appeal to fans of Buffy as there's a lot of humour in there, and plenty of sexual politics as well. Anyone else seen it? I must say as well that the guy who plays Ianto is kinda cute, but John Barrowman who plays captain Jack Harkness is pretty good looking.

i was about to start a topic of torchwood but look it's already up
I think it's fab and I visit the locations it's filmed every week lol.

wow, cool! I really enjoyed it, lookign forward to the new series, it's great that it can get away with being more adult than doctor who, and I love the sesxual innuendo all the time, hilarious. Plus John Barrowman is pretty good looking.

i watched the first series when it was on. I didn't miss an episode but i read a lot of bad reviews. I thought it was pretty good but some people didn't. At least we have Doctor Who as well. lol

i saw about 20 mins of a episode it seems alright im a fan of doctor who and Buffy so i will need to watch out for it next time sounds like i might like it

I'd recommend it - I saw some bad reviews as well but I think you have to rememebr that the job of critics is to critisise - and I bet a lot of them would give up their jobs in a flash if they were offered the chance to write a TV show, so a lot of it is jealousy. That's my opinion anyway!

Yeah Critics have to find somethign to complain about alot like the unfaithful lost fans theres something new to moan about each week

not as good as Doctor Who

Doctor Who is one of the ultimate all time sci fi shows, but Torchwood is different, it doesn't' have all that to live up to, it'll take time to develop the characters, but as it's for adults I think it could be as good as Dr Who in time. I loved series one, and can't wait for it to be back on.

i think doctor who is better

I love Dr Who, but torchwood is more my theme of sci-fi show.

It's more grown up, because of the time Doctor Who is shown at and the audience it therefore receives, it wouldn't get away with the more adult themes that Torchwood does. I love them both though.

Same here. So the question is now, who's sexier David Tennant or John Barrowman? Wink

Barrowman for me, I like David Tennant as the doctor, but I don't find him particularly attractive, but Barrowman is a different story, he's got a sexiness in his swagger and 1940's style clothes!

A few days ago I would say David Tennant, because he's my type of guy and he seems to have an amazing personality. But I watched 8 out of 10 cats and John did this "RAWR!" thing, hard to explain, but it was so darn adorable that I've fallen inlove Very Happy

shame he's gay...and married. lol.

I know...still, good to fantasise!
