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.

Yeah, that shot had me trying to knock myself unconcious by beating my head against the arm of the couch...yes, my ex & laughed so hard we couldn't breathe, but that was almost painful ;-)

Well, at first I was just snickering at how Cardiff in general has been a running DW joke for the past 2 years anyway, but when Jack's explaining things to Gwen, he specificly refers to, as the culprit, the rift that Gwyneth gave her life to close...I have sneaking suspicion that's going to play into Gwen's storyline later on somehow...the new DW has focused alot on "fate" and "signs" like Bad Wolf, etc, so coincidence is rarely just coincidence with these archs...

And maybe I'm just a wrong-headed little person, but I don't really mind Owen so much (he reminds me oddly of my little brother)...while I think the stunt with the alien pherimone was irresponsible and a bit smarmy, I can't consider it anything like "rape"...there's a world of difference between making someone ucontrollably "horny", and rendering them unconcious to take advantage of like a date-rape drug would do...then again, I'm a fan of Kronos too, at least in the realm of fiction, so...

But don't worry, Owen's hormones bite him in the ass later on anyway...
