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.

If it were only one reasoned response to Owen, I doubt my reaction would have been so strong -- but there was so much Owen-bashing going on, including the fast and free use of the label "rapist," that ultimately I decided I had nothing in common with those points of view.

It wasn't a date rape drug. It was an aphrodisiac irresponsibly, selfishly, used -- I don't remember, were all the characters in the AP film "Love Potion #9" tarred with the rapist brush? This is exactly the same plot device, used in exactly the same rather light-hearted, farcical spirit.

Sorry, never even heard of that movie so can't answer.

While it wasn't a drug, that was how it struck me watching it. Can't help it, but that's the first thing that I thought of and it just creeped me out.

I have three more episodes to watch, and I'm hoping that I'll get a better idea of what and who these people are.
