"Torchwood"
BBC America show. There's only 3 shows left for this season and I'm sad.

I really like this show and Jack is hot. Which begs the question: why are Jack's in my RL not as hot as the many Jack's on t.v.?

Has anyone else gotten sucked into this scifi show the way I have? It's the only saving grace on Sat night TV

I'm watching. I never even realized at first it was a spin-off of Dr Who since I don't watch Dr Who. But I think of this as sort of a UK version of the X-Files.

2. "RE: Torchwood"
Yay, I'm not the only one addicted to this show. I've been watching since the beginning and am really going to miss it when it's finished. At least it was definitely picked up for another season, though.

Jack is great -- those lips and eyes. Sagebrush Dan informed me, though, that John Barrowman is happily married to his partner in England -- why is it all the best guys are taken and gay???

The cast is great together and the show is really funny, as well as mysterious. I really can't wait to find out the whole story of Capt. Jack "born in the future, lived in your past" and immortal.

Like Loree, I have never watched Dr. Who and did hear that the character of Capt. Jack & John Barrowman are from Dr. Who, but that Torchwood isn't related to Dr. Who in storylines or anything.

Either way, this show is great and makes my Saturday night (along with Graham Norton, who really gets me rolling)

Never watched Dr Who either.

I think Jack looks like Tom Cruise and NCIS guy (can't remember his name)kid if they had had a kid .

Last night's episode was the best, as the week before epi was the worst. I hate that it's ending soon and hope we get some answers.

Tosh I feel sorry for so I hope she has a good episode before the end.

4. "RE: Torchwood (wtih some mild SPOILERS)"
Good show. Not as good as Doctor Who. I've downloaded and watched them all already because I was too impatient for them to air a year later in the North American market (aired on CBC in Canada).

The second season of Torchwood should be airing in January on BBC so it will be available to download. I think that the CBC will be airing it at the same time as the BBC (or a couple of weeks later) this time around. Martha Jones should be appearing in the second season of Torchwood before returning to Doctor Who.

This Christmas, I plan to watch the Sarah Jane Adventures which I've downloaded, despite the fact that this show is considered a kid's show that is a spin-off of Doctor Who.


Three is the perfect number.

This is a great show and I do love me some Captain Jack Harkness. Although you can certainly enjoy Torchwood without having watched Doctor Who, it does help. BBC America was kind enough to recently run four of the five episodes with Christopher Eccleston that introduces Captain Jack. Those, plus the last three episodes with David Tennant, really explain a lot about what's going on with Torchwood.
Now, for pure yumminess: the new season starting in January brings James Marsters to play in Captain Jack's world.

I have no idea if anyone else saw the season opener but it was just as quirky as the first season. And Jack is still kissing all the boys. I can't tell who he's in love with more.

My suggestion is that if you're tired of reality shows, flip over and watch. Unless you're a bit homophobic, then this is not for you.

I'm still watching, Ahtum. I just love this show. Capt. Jack has chemistry with EVERYONE!! He obviously just has so much love to spread around and I enjoy it. Who knows who he's going to be with next?

The first episode with Capt. John (James Marsters) was a fantastic way to start the new season. Holy smokes.

The second episode was pretty good, too. However, I really can't wait to see ep 3. The previews look really good. I enjoy the rift letting past/present/future intermingle.

Anyone have any good tofu recipes? I think this last episode is going to make me go vegetarian for a while.

Since I also caught Graham Norton's "splosh" demo that aired after, I may never eat cake again, either.

LOL on becoming a vegetarian. I may join you.

But our Jack's empathy with the beast and his comment on being "imprisoned, chained, and drugged" was so poignant given what happened to him during the year that never was.

I really like that Rhys knows about Gwen's job now. I think it will add a new dimension to the relationships now.

14. "RE: Torchwood"
It wasn't so much that it was gross since I do watch Dexter (the Showtime version) and CSI (but not Miami, I'm not that masochistic). But they did an excellent job of not only showing Jack's empathy but activating mine. Kudos to the audio crew on coordinating the sounds of hacking with moaning. It made the CA slaughterhouse footage on the news last night even more difficult to watch.

Until last night, Gwen's sticking with Rhys never really made sense. This episode gave his character some real character (although I still need close captioning to understand most of what he says). Glad she couldn't retcon him and, in essence, chose him over Jack.

And Ianto kicked some serious body parts as well as delivered some lovely one-liners.

I'm thankful I didn't see the CA slaughterhouse footage that people keep talking about

Rhys did surprise me, though I still find him completely dorky and irritating at times. I think he may become even more irritating if he tries to establish himself as part of Torchwood. And if he doesn't he may send Gwen over the edge with his questions.

Gwen's very protective of Rhys, and sometimes it comes across as more sisterly than loverly (I know that's not a word ).

Of course there is. Eliza Doolittle tells us "oh wouldn't it be loverly ..." Closed captioning would help with Eliza too.

Yes indeed. That Gwen is conflicted. But I love the home scenes between her and Rhys. They're so cute.

And Martha Jones will be on this week. It'll be interesting to see what information she shares about the Doctor and the year that never was. But it seems that one member of the Torchwood team will either be dead or missing by the end of the episode.

I watched the 3rd season of DW when it was on Sci Fi last year and there did seem to be quite a few references to its season finale. It's kind of bizarre since they have just started airing the early episodes right before Torchwood.

I'm curios to know if it got confusing?

There were alot of references and innuendoes I didn't get, but at least I knew going in who she was. If I hadn't read something about this episode beforehand I would have been lost.

I'm really feeling bad for Tosh.

Killing off Owen and Tosh was horrible!

Why? Surely they're not gone for good. Though in the interview with Owen he sure made it sound that way.

25. "RE: Finale"
Remember Owen was already dead. They were pushing it trying to deal with the consequences so I think they either had to find some way to revive him or get rid of him (presumably his brain is still functioning while trapped in the bunker "watching himself decompose" so they could always bring him back later, although I understand the actor already has other plans). As for Tosh, Owen's removal would not have been anywhere near as poignant if it was just him. She brought the heartbreak to the whole story.

As for the next season I have heard rumors: new writing/production staff, new UK channel, new characters imported from Dr. Who, shorter season, and (most disturbing) more "family friendly" (I really hope that doesn't mean the same thing in England as it does here).

So the end is near is what you're saying Leo.

I liked the unfamily friendly version. I watched a few episodes of Dr Who that had Jack in it. I like Torchwood much better. Shorter season- yikes.

So family-friendly = Jack's not going to be kissing all the boys.

*raises hand* Yep. We watch religiously. Torchwood's a spin off from Dr. Who, which we also watch. They're out of synch at the moment because of when we're getting rights to broadcast the Dr. As I understand it that should change soon and the interlacing will make more sense. Great show.

Canada is behind in the second season. We are just at the point where Owen died and they brought him back with the glove. It is getting strange. I don't like this. Now I read that Tosh dies too? I know I am not going to like that.
