Anyone spot the error in the first 5 minutes of torchwood regarding the comment Capt Jack made about oestrogen?

It does't get into the rain, only the water evaporates, any solids disoved get left behind!
I tutted over this and Dh said I was 'sad'

He then went on to point out that with those rank tabs he was Group Captain Jack, and would be called Group Captain, not captain.

So I called him sad.

A marriage made in pedantic heaven!

(19 years tomorrow!)

A pair of saddos together then

Congrats for tomorrow MB.

The alien attack was a bit gory though wasn't it?

Blandmum · 23/10/2006 09:12

Deffo not for the kids!

We enjoyed it.

Absolutely not for the kids!!

But fabulous.

I hope you're not going to be tutting all the way through, mb. I should imagine there might be quite a few scientific theories which you could rubbish in this series!

I thought it was great. I recorded it so that, if I thought it was suitable, the boys could watch it today. Needless to say, I'll be recording over it very quickly before they can see it!

Blandmum · 23/10/2006 09:40

Oh I don't mind the scince fiction type errors. THis was just a simple error!

Like saying that grass is blue of something

So what made it unsuitable for kids? I don't have digital so didn't see it. Was it the level of the violence, scary aliens, complicated sub plots?

or did Captain Jack just try to shag anything that moved?

saggarmakersbottomknocker · 23/10/2006 10:10

At least a couple of scenes - Captain Jack getting shot in the head and an alien attack resulting in a guy biting the dust in a very bloody manner.

Didn't watch the second episode which I think was about a alien spirit requiring very regular sex - so unable to judge that one!

Maybe someone else watched it?

saggarmakersbottomknocker · 23/10/2006 10:12

Captain Jack is fine BTW - he can heal himself.

PeachyBobbingParty · 23/10/2006 10:14

Episode two NOT SUITABLE FOR KIDS LOL!

Orgasmic energy junkie alien

nice

Actually quite enjoyed it- Dh not to impressed that the 'boring' boyfrioed is a transport planner LOL!

fartmeistergeneral · 23/10/2006 10:21

aliens having sex perhaps not suitable for my 5 and 7 yr olds?

Yup - the orgasm alien is probably not suitable for children

bababoo · 23/10/2006 10:45

It was all a bit sticky wasn't it...

ludaloo · 23/10/2006 10:50

dh and I watched it....dd saw the trailers but I'm very glad she was sound asleep by then!
she won't get the chance to watch it!!
Very entertaining though!!!

LiliLaTigresse · 23/10/2006 10:52

lol mb and happy anniversary for tomorrow!!

very much enjoyed the two episodes last night, really good fun and Captain Jack is fabulous!
and definitely not for kids

Freckle · 23/10/2006 10:55

I do wish that someone hadn't mentioned JB's resemblance to Tom Cruise. I hadn't noticed it until then and now it's all I can see and I can't stand TC.

Such a waste to womanhood though.

coppertop · 23/10/2006 11:15

LOL at the Martianbishops.

I no longer feel quite so petty for muttering to dh that surely it would be quicker for Gwen to write down everything on a piece of paper than wait for the computer to boot up, click on Word, and then fart about saving documents to the hard drive.

SoupDragon · 23/10/2006 11:54

I couldn't work out why she didn't use pen and paper, coppertop Decided I was sad for thinking it though...

HumphreyComfrey · 23/10/2006 11:57

Very disappointed by Torchwood.

Was really looking forward to it.

But I did not love it.

MadamePlatypus · 23/10/2006 11:59

I loved it. Glad DS is not old enough yet for me to have to be explaining to him why he can't watch it though. "Oh no this Torchwood has nothing to do with the Torchwood on Dr Who...".

TwigTwoolett · 23/10/2006 12:02

does anyone else reckon Captain Jack said "I know when I kiss her she'll glow with delight because I'm so darn gorgeous and cool"

PeachyBobbingParty · 23/10/2006 12:48

LOL- not just me with the pen and paper then

course with my typing, electronic whizz in a suit type bod'd be trying to decipher my typing, decide it was in a foreign language and give up

See, knew I ahd my reasons

Blandmum · 23/10/2006 13:02

I thought the same thing about writing the stuff down.

Deffo not for kids, violent, gory and aliens shagging in toilets!

Oh and it is set in Cardiff Inly joking, I'm a valleys girl myself Actually they make Cardiff look fab.

A funny, witty cross between Dr Who, The X files and Queer as Folk?

OP posts:
LiliLaTigresse · 23/10/2006 13:10

dh said that about the cross between Dr Who and the X Files (I was always rather scared of the X Files myself.....)

Blandmum · 23/10/2006 13:12

LOL when they said , of the guy who died while having sex 'He came, and went!'
