    Arrow OK, Torchwood

    Lets have some opinions on the new torchwood series...


    As an avid follower of Dr Who i was intreaged as many were with this new spin-off series. Sounded good, has potential..

    So having seen the first 2 episodes
    Well, i think it still seems a bit juvenile. And i HATE CAPTAIN JACK
    I want to know why he has to be there, just the irratating i'm too cool american. sigh, and now we find that hes unkillable, well we might as well start calling him superman2..

    Ok, thats my rant over with, on the whole i thought it was good.
    Opinions??

    Missed it.

    Which may be a blessing seeing as I'd have to tear GF away from John Barrowman if she watched it

    Watched the first one, wasn't mightily impressed if I'm honest.

    Lets hope it gets better as the series goes on

    Don't know why but I thought Barrowman was gay. There is nothing wrong with it of course but your gf might be disappointed!

    Edit: I do know why, because he seemed very camp in Dancing on Ice or whatever that programme was.

    I enjoyed it in the same way I enjoy Robin Hood, mindless entertainment.
    Not around too often!

    I watched it, not sure about it yet, some good ideas, but terrible acting and low budget effects, but thats what we pay the license for right?

    The girl-on-girl action was a personal highlight.

    Away from that its mindless entertainment for an hour or so, as someone said. Only problem I have with it; who sets a sci-fi drama series in Cardiff?

    I didnt realise it was set in Cardiff, but I did wonder why they were mostly Welsh, kind of makes sense now
