Anyone else excited about Torchwood tonight?

[MummyDoIt]

In the continued absence of Dr Who and the luscious David Tennant, I am looking forward to Torchwood tonight and the almost as gorgeous Captain Jack. Bring it on!

Are any of them not gay?

Ianto has to be Bi because he'd hidden his Cyberman girlfriend in the basement in the last series.

oh,had forgotten about her - they're probably all bi,actually...or megasexual or something...

Half converted Cyberman or Capt Jack... Hmmmmm [ponders]

Only just joined this thread but need to ask all you Buffy fans -

does anyone else watch Torchwood and think 'Ooh, that seems familiar - wonder if Joss Whedon's been given any credit for that bit of dialogue/action/plot?'

The opening scene yesterday - gang struggling to manage without their leader; in dire peril; leader turns up, saves the day, turns to camera with knowing smile - 'Miss me?' - lifted directly from an early ep of Buffy. I know Russell T. is a big fan, but it's more than a bit cheeky!

Trouble is, every time he nicks something from Buffy (and lets face it, the whole concept of a tormented immortal hero taking on the Forces of Badness is RTD attempting to do Angel) it just reminds you how much better Joss Whedon did it.

I know and I'm trying to love Torchwood because I lurrrrvvve John Barrowman but it just makes me miss Joss's stuff more - the writing on his shows hasn't been matched by anything since (except House but my Hugh-Laurie-plays-misanthropic-doctor obsession needs a thread all to itself )

I think Torchwood Season 2 is opening in the US (on BBC America?) next week, Califrau. At least, I saw a trailer online that claimed it was.

Are there any Buffy threads on MN?

I hated it. I honestly thought it was a pile of dross. I know Bannerman's gay, but that was way OTT for my taste.

Bannerman, Desi? Isn't he the Incredible Hulk?

Likeasow - maybe we should start a Buffy thread? There seem to be some fans around. We could intellectually discuss the genius that is Joss Whedon.

And also the smouldering sex godliness that is James Marsters...

I am up for it - spent my second pregnancy watching the entire Buffy catalogue and then all of Angel too...

You would not believe how many times I have watched them...

John Bannerman is the name of the actor who plays Captain Jack.

Or Captain Crack, as it goes ...

[doh]

It's John Barrowman

Buffy fans check in here!

I missed it [grrr]

is it repeated this week? if so when and what time?
