The words 'Don't make me larf' spring to mind. The only reason I happen to be watching is because my mum has a soft sport for the King of The Pantomime :lol:

Oh god. Less sex and violence? It's been less than 15 minutes and we're up to omnisexual snogging and a bar brawl between Cap'n Jack and Spike!

Fangirls are going to go nuts over this. That one scene'll fuel the Slashers for decades.

Can someone please tell me if this is horrible SF or brilliant comedy, because honestly, I have no fucking idea.

The trailer looks atrocious. "It's the end of the world. Let's all have sex!"

That's verbatim, by the way.

Huh. No Confidential, or whatever the Torchwood one was called.

And that was all supposed to happen next week?

Nuclear warheads doesn't seem very much in keeping with the theme so far :?

Ok, that was my first actual episode of Torchwood and its alright. You could sort of see a better show just peeping through. Its just the performances don't really live up to it. Even Marster's performance seemed dull as if he was bored.

Plus Gwen's eyes were freaky. Especially when telling Jack she was engaged.

They didn't cause the problem this week. That's pretty much first rate by Torchwood standards.

It was 'inside the rift,' thus the rift limited it.

It just to show how flexible 25th Century guys when it comes to dancing.

Also murder rehab I loved that for some reason. It just shows how alien the future is.

There were alot of things in the episode. The opening chase, John andjAck's relationship that seemed cool, if they'd put in a bit more thought and polished it up a bit.

Looks kinda 18th, 19th century-ish. The Napoleonic wars, the Crimea, that sort of thing.

That was just as daft and pointless as the last series was, but you know what? I enjoyed it anyway. Guess I'd better avoid Stark for a while. :)

Thats the first episode of Torchwood I've ever watched.

What a load of shit, give me back my fucking license money, its like Queer as Folk raped one of the more irritating episodes of Buffy.

Is this shite indicative of the entire first series?

It was a whole lot worse, as impossible believe as it is. :wtf:

I found this episode to be watchable bollocks, but the Torchwood Three team seemed to be almost as dumb as ever (but not as muderously indifferent as they often were last season).
