Torchwood/ DR Who
No other junkies get BBC America? Torchwood is the HANDS DOWN best sci-fi show(other than the new Who...I feel like a traitor but I might even like it better) If you haven't seen it whats stopping you.

James Marsters rocks my socks. And evidently John Barrowman's too. Aladdin on Sunday! Wahey. Final performance. *~* My thoughts this week: Waiting is an essential part of junkie life. 2 Days to John Barrowman!

Re: Torchwood/ DR Who
I love Dr Who, more the David tennant and any other because, he seems like a more realistic doctor to me, suits the role better. Not into the new eps though now Rose is gone. No sidekick can replace her. She was bad at sacting but she grew on me. Torchwood rocks too, I LOVE CAP. Jack~ I Live in LalaLand =)

Re: Torchwood/ DR Who

I grew up watching the Doctor back in the Tom Baker days. So, I was sitting at the house one Sunday morning and I google Dr Who. Well..... wasn't I supprised to find that they brought him back. So,I did what any good little whovian would do and found a torrent, downloaded and checked it out. I got hooked from that point on. Me and my wife (at the time) would make the Doctor part of our weekly tradition. Now, I got turned on to Torchwood. THAT shos rocks! Laughing. So, I think that Sigler should create a monster that the Doctor has to fight and save the world. What if HE got infected...

Re: Torchwood/ DR Who

I never watched DrWho growing up.  I guess I was a special effects snoot or something.  Too bad, it sounds like I missed out on an excellent couple of decades of stories.
I didn't start watching until "Al Bundy Time Lord" but he only lasted a year and then came in David Tennant.  I'm a big Tennant fan.
John Barrowman is what God planned for mankind since the beginning.  Look at him! Obviously, there were teams of angels tasked with creating the perfect working production model. *thud*

Re: Torchwood/ DR Who

Torchwood is by far my favorite program on TV right now.


I bought season one on DVD after watching the first episode of Season 2 on BBC America.  Sex, violence and aliens....rock on!

John Barrowman as Capt. Jack Harkness exudes confidence, strength, and sex appeal...and he fancies anybody and anything!  Never know who's going to be snogging ...like I said...it rocks!

Re: Torchwood/ DR Who
Al Bundy Time Lord? Please. Christopher Eccleston was marvelous as The Doctor and I was sad to see him go. And David Tennant wins over John Barrowman any day. Barrowman needs to find a new plastic surgeon.

Re: Torchwood/ DR Who

I thought Christopher Eccleston did a great job as the Doctor. I have to admit I didn't like David Tennant at first as the new Doctor but now I can't imagine anyone else in the part. I liked Billy Piper and Freema Agyeman but so far I don't like Catherine Tate at all

Re: Torchwood/ DR Who
I'm not knocking Eccleston - he was fabulous.  I just could not for the life of me remember his name for a moment.  He was my first doctor, how could I not like him?
He was in a movie I saw several years ago that had that girl who desperately needs a sandwich ... Renée Zellweger.  "Price Above Rubies" about orthodox jewish jewelers in New York.  He played a horrible person but did it wonderfully.

He was also in a film called The Invisable Circus.

Re: Torchwood/ DR Who

I have seen the older gent who played the Master in many things but have no idea who he is.
The younger version is played by John Simms who plays Sam Tyler on the BBC program, "Life on Mars".  US folks can watch it on BBC America.
Life On Mars is a cop show that takes place in the 1970's.... or does it?
Sam is hit by a speeding car on 2005 and wakes up in 1975.  Is he dead? Is he in a coma? Has he gone back in time?  Watching Sam deal with the '70's is a hoot.  The clothes are enough to make your eyeballs bleed and the 1970's music reminds us that rockers used to do a boatload of drugs. (they all drink green tea and eat soy burgers today).

Re: Torchwood/ DR Who

Just got to watch the season 2 finale on DVR...holy crap was it fantastic!  Didn't expect the ending that occurred ...awesome writing.  Did anyone else see it?

Can't wait for the next season, although the BBC hsan't confirmed if it will be back, as of yet.

Re: Torchwood/ DR Who
I've recorded the entire season on my DVR and have waited until all are there in little digital bites to indulge myself.  My lovely husband and I plan on having a total Torchwood marathon on Sunday.  I'm going to make popcorn and everything.

Re: Torchwood/ DR Who

I though others might not have gotten a chance to see it so I stayed away from spoilers, but I love the fact that the writer's were brave enough to write that type of plot.  I suppose that's what I love about BBC programming...very fresh and unpredictable...freakin' brilliant stuff!

Re: Torchwood/ DR Who

Re: Torchwood/ DR Who
So far, this season has been excellent.  Totally dug the whole John / Jack, "You were the wife" fight.  "Yeah, but I was a good wife."   Classic.

Re: Torchwood/ DR Who

James Marsters was money as Capt. John....spot on character of mayhem while maintaining his signature suave demeanor.  Dug the John / Jack relationship as well... can't wait for the writers to flesh out more about Jack's time at the Time Agency...maybe in Series 3.

 

Not sure if you made it to the episode named "Reset", when Martha Jones visits Torchwood, but Ianto has some key Jack descriptions in that episode..."Bordering on the avant-garde"....and "Innovative".  Love It!!

Re: Torchwood/ DR Who

Re: Torchwood/ DR Who

If you are located in the US, then I am the bearer of bad news....Season 4 started 2 weeks ago on the SciFi Network.  

BBC America is still showing reruns of season 3 but this past Friday SciFi showed episode 2: The Fires of Pompeii.  The prior week they showed episode 1: Partners in Crime.

Re: Torchwood/ DR Who
Not a huge fan, but the best is very very good. Three stories stand out for me "Blink" - series 3 episode 10 written by Steven Moffat was the very best - I almost retreated behind the sofa - followed by "Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead" series 4 episodes 8 and 9 written by Steven Moffat and in third place "The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances" Series 1 episodes 9 and 10 also written by Steven Moffat - I think I see a pattern here....
