neil's right: The People in Torchwood Season One Are All Too Stupid To Live . we're only on the sixth episode but so far i am incredibly unimpressed with the amount of standing around that goes on when people should be running or shooting or dodging. torchwood sucked all the charm out of jack's character, and i cannot tell you how much i hate owen's character. i don't think they make a scale that measures that intense level of white-hot fury.
Comments:
you're ahead of me i only watched the first 4 episodes before stopping.
Torchwood does get better later in the season, but I can't disagree with anything you said, particularly about Jack. Making him dark & brooding shows a complete lack of understanding of what makes the character work.
But the show does improve. And the 2nd season opener guest-stars James Marsters, which is a real treat.
