Torchwood: Ep One

[ithildin]

Just watched episode one.



Love the Welsh accents. Not something I get to hear a lot over here.

Nice kitchens everyone in Cardiff seem to have.

Not really liking anyone on the Torchwood team. Rapist guy -- really nice /sarcasm. Please tell me something bad happens to him.

Jack just isn't as hot as I remember. Maybe it was the chemistry of the DW eps he was in or something, but he's just not doing it for me.

I like Gwen. She's plucky.

Yes, I'll watch the other eps before passing judgment! This is just my initial impression.

I've seen crappy student kitchens in Cardiff, so it must just be the police paycheck! To be honest Cardiff looks a lot nicer in TW than reality (though it is a nice city) - not that they're plugging the tourism angle or anything :)

Ref Owen (rapist guy), he is a wanker but I kind of like that. Not like like, just that the TW team are ordinary people who've been let loose on extraordinary technology. Their ethics are just a little compromised - Owen's more than most - as shown by the fact that Gwen has to nag them into helping humanity rather than just analysing doohickeys.

It does look like a nice city. I've always wanted to go to Wales :) I think the fact that one member was a murderer probably predisposed me to have a crappy opinion of the rest of them. One murders people, another rapes. Since I keep hearing how 'adult' the show was ging to be, I was afraid it was going to be one of those shows where all the 'heroes' are just generally unlikable, bad people from the way the first ep played out.
