The BBC could really use a deep series, at least one with the possibility of being interpreted on different levels - a little like Philip Pullman's 'His Dark Materials' trilogy. I'm sure Russell T. Davies has more than enough on his plate just now, but maybe some more thought into how Torchwood could do this might be good - and please don't loose Captain Jack - he's gorgeous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313594.post-1167915957717240272007-01-04T05:05:00.000-08:002007-01-04T05:05:00.000-08:00couldnt agree more. in fact i was going to write m...couldnt agree more. in fact i was going to write much the same to the BBC who paid for this, sorry, we paid for it. Capn Jack should have been stronger with a bit more hinted at background. hid associates are nothing but a bunch of selfish kids with new toys to play with, the Dr's helpers had more to them than this. also using the same plot of him not being able to die and so giving an alien an overdose of life was real lame.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313594.post-1167422077320796592006-12-29T11:54:00.000-08:002006-12-29T11:54:00.000-08:00Depressing.

The tone is pointlessly bleak throughout - no-one can do something uplifing even by accident.<BR/><BR/>Plus, the fact that Torchwood as an institution - well, this one at least - makes NO BLOODY SENSE WHATSOEVER. Who pays for the Pterodactyl grub? Who gets the alien technology they recover? Why can they forge a set of passports but not a pilot's licence? Torchwood are, as they like to remind us, "beyond the government", so who's calling the shots - or is it just a wee outfit doing naught but Jack's oddly random bidding. <BR/><BR/>My feeling is that the whole thing's going to prove a long, shaggy dog story to set up a punchline in eps 12 & 13. It'd better be a bloody good punchline, but I rather fear it won't.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
