Torchwood

[jack]

* Fun, but not overwhelming
* A little creepy occasionally, but nothing really worth mentioning
* Fucked-up intra-torchwood romantic/professional relationships continue apace. I like it, it's over the top, but it's supposed to be.
* Nice asian woman in handcuffs in a tight top running through the woods towards the camera :o
* Jack shoots lots of people in slow motion in a long black coat after crashing through a wall -- yes, he's cool, aping the matrix is sort of cool but sort of pathetic :)
* Oh my god, Gwen and Twat. He's grown on me -- he's not bad, just annoying and petulant, which I quite like. I think this is a mistake, but I think it will be revealed to be.

Intra-Torchwood relationships - not so much a love triangle, as a love pentacle... And if they're so chummy, how come they needed 3 six-person tents for a night's camping?

I have not seen such a giant load of pants since the day I did all the laundry :-)

Even the actors thought little of it - when they were running around, shouting "Tosh! Tosh!" I couldn't help but agree.

LOL, yeah. Except, I think the point of a love-triangle is that at least one or two people are going to get hurt because you can't fit everyone together. Five people all fancy each other, but I don't think it's *love*, I don't think they'd be any less satisfied if they were all consummated at once; the problem isn't that they can't all be satisfied, the problem is that they're fucked up and can't related to friends other than by snogging under alien influences :)

Ditto to tents. Well, I couldn't see why Jack didn't authorise some alien magic tents. In fact, with everyone on the team fancying but definitely not dating each other, separate tents kind of makes sense.

I'd imagined that some of the tents were for equipment and operational space.

I also wondered if the SUV was supplied by the Doctor. Five people, at least three of those tent bags, and a whole bunch of equipment, in that thing?

Oh yes you can... but I doubt that Torchwood is going to manage it.

Well, if you can, it's not a bad love triangle, it's a good threesome :) I think the love triangle is tragic when C's feelings, or the law, or culture, or circumstance mean they can't all be together.

Torchwood could all be together (mmmm, torchwood orgy), but I don't think that would solve anything :)
