just seen a trailer with the gorgeous Captain Jack and Gwen. No idea when it will be shown bit I'm so happyyyy. We really thought they'd killed it off with the last series.

Anyone know when it's coming??!!

Agree it has lost it's quirkiness - but i don't watch many of the big US series (except the mentalist..) so not sure how similar it is to them.

Anyone else love it if they do a Dr Who tie in - and it's 'the silence' behind it all? Grin

Hmm I want proper fights!!! Blush

Wamster - your comment reminds me of an overheard convo i read on here once - between two Spanish men:

"Is she good looking?"
"She's pretty yes, well you know ..... "English pretty"

TeaspoonThief · 22/07/2011 10:46

yes - i know she's Welsh but you get the sentiment....

Wamster · 22/07/2011 11:04

Yeah, I get what you're saying, TeaspoonThief, I personally think Eve Myles is very attractive woman, but there's attractive and there is Hollywood goddess-like beautiful like Angelina Jolie et al but as this is supposed to be a glossy American show, well she just doesn't fit. Although I personally think Eve Myles has got a natural, real beauty that is not plastic.

Did anyone else think that the CIA/katya kinsky character looked like one of The Silence? :o

vintageteacups · 22/07/2011 11:44

Not sure about amercians being worried about the sex scenes; it said yesterday in the news that TW gay sex scene was being axed in the UK but not in the US.

I loved last week's. Last night's was so boring I lost interest. Am quite sad.

timetosmile · 22/07/2011 14:16

Hope there are proper aliens around at some point, from 'next week's trailer' it looks as if it's just going to be Big Pharma which is the Baddie.

I want things that explode with goo/fire/smoke when they're shot - the nearest so far has been Jack's vomit.

DH pleased to see that it's 'not just me', apparrently, but a constitutional failure in Welsh women generally to shriek out orders in a crisis . Confused

I'm not really enjoying it atm. Apart from the doctor, who is ok, none of the new characters are the least bit likeable, everyone is rude and shouty and I don't care if any of them lives or dies tbh.

Livinginoz · 23/07/2011 13:02

I'm persevering, (just watched 3rd episode over here) but its just not keeping my attention. I understand that they have gone over to America for the money but now its just like every other American drama, whereas before the series was really unique. Children of the Earth was amazing and I was expecting the same.

whatkungfuthat · 23/07/2011 16:22

I'm not enjoying it either but will stick with it because of Gwen and Jack. Its not helping that I know the US get it earlier than us, bloody cheek.

LetUsPrey · 23/07/2011 16:53

Are you telling me that the previous series of Torchwood were better????? DH and I are enjoying this series (especially Gwen and Jack). Why oh why did we not watch Torchwood before? Balls.

Sorry for joining in so late..............What was the breastfeeding comment??

I also Love Captain Jack Harkness, he is very beautiful and strong and sexy, but he needs to find his usual dominant self again. It will happen, have faith!

Gwen is great, cringed at the " I am Welsh" line though.

Also don't you think the US girls look far too similar, the one in the plane and the one in the office that got her id stolen?

HarrietJones · 27/07/2011 08:58

As they took the baby away she yelled but 'im breastfeeding'

It's Thursday. Episode 3. Hoping it gets better!

Fooffy · 28/07/2011 21:44

WELL!!

Anyone like to take bets on how many complaints the BBC receive.
(Incidentally, I had no issue with that particular scene. At all. Grin )

Really really enjoying this series so far.

HarrietJones · 28/07/2011 21:50

Didn't think it was any more explicit than the nightclub in S1

Greenshadow · 28/07/2011 22:02

Well, I suppose I am quite enjoying it, but it's really not Torchwood.

It's got the name and Jack and Gwen, but not much else.

MrsDmitriTippensKrushnic · 28/07/2011 22:10

BBC cut the sex scene(s) 'for editing reasons' , they've had plenty of complaints about that before this episode was even shown, so I'd laugh hard if anyone found anything to complain about in the minuscule bit they left behind.

HarrietJones · 28/07/2011 22:21

I need ALIENS!

Greenshadow · 28/07/2011 22:24

Quiet Harriet.
