Oh no. I just turned Torchwood on. There are some good one-liners. And the concept and characters remain great. And it's nice to see Martha again, in the end, I discovered I did like her. And the episode premise is as always stupid.

But god, it's boring. The rest of the dialogue is all failed one liners, spoken in a tone of voice that says "this is a joke" or "this is dramatic", but pointless, stupid and boring :(

I was expecting to want to post a review of Torchwood, but I couldn't be bothered. My thoughts are in everyone else's comments. I think I really amused you-know-who-you-are by wanting to watch it? :)

However, conveniently, foreverdirt made a wonderful post about it, so I can just link to that. http://foreverdirt.livejournal.com/339789.html. [I think non-locked] The only difference is that (I think) she sees that as an unreservedly good thing, and I don't.

A reminder, Torchwood continues tonight at 9.00, featuring rogue time agent James Masters, aka Captain John, in a big flapping coat kissing rogue time agent John Barrowman, aka Captain Jack, in a big flapping coat.

Pippa's one-true-fivesome icon is going to run out of room and explode soon.

Spoiler note: I've no idea if they actually will kiss each other. I just want to get Pippa's hopes up. For all I know, Captain Jack will find out about the face of bo thing and get all serious and season 2 will not be about flirting with aliens and Captains Jack and John will be the first bisexual main characters not to kiss each other.

I thought Torchwood #1 had a lot of good ideas, but didn't really work as a whole, so I want to give #2 a try, but may end up waiting till I can borrow them all on DVD later.
