15. Its a wonderful spin off from The Doctor.
You remember Capt Jack Harkness?

Captain Jack Harkness is a fictional character played by John Barrowman in Doctor Who and its spin-off series, Torchwood. He first appears in the 2005 Doctor Who episode "The Empty Child" and reappears throughout the remaining episodes of the 2005 series as a companion of the ninth incarnation of the series' protagonist the Doctor. Jack goes on to become the central character in Torchwood, an adult-themed spin-off of Doctor Who. He returns in the 2007 series of Doctor Who, reuniting with the tenth incarnation of the Doctor, and returned again for the 2008 series.

In the programme's narrative, Jack is a time traveller and former con man from the 51st century. A bisexual, he is the first openly non-heterosexual character in the history of televised Doctor Who. In contrast to the Doctor, Jack is a man of action, more willing to see the hands-on solution to the problem at hand. As a consequence of his death and resurrection in the 2005 series finale of Doctor Who, the character becomes immortal, a lasting change throughout his appearances in both series. Jack eventually becomes the leader of Torchwood, a British organisation dedicated to combating alien threats. Adding another layer to the character is a vague backstory which is gradually revealed as both programmes progress.

5. My local Dr. Who Meetup Group showed the first two episodes of
Children of the Earth on Saturday.

I don't have cable anymore, so I'll wait till next month to find out how it ends. But the first two episodes were really chilling, and I got to see them on a big screen in HD. :-)

6. 1st season was brilliant
after that... started to get a little soap opera-y for me. But I still watch it, since it's part of the Doctorverse ;)

14. The "Inside Torchwood" and "Inside the Hub" shows are worth it, too
I had missed how Jack became immortal and one of those had the explanation. I can't wait to see the rest of the episodes!

19. I think it's written by incoherent, ageist toddlers who hire good people to do the visual effects.
Is that all? :evilgrin:

22. seems they've improved the writing somewhat
but we'll have to see as the story unfolds, some of the past episodes were quite a bit cheesy and I hope this years series has made a dramatic leap forward

21. Amazing scene between Ianto(Gareth David-Lloyd) and his sister Rhiannon(Katy Wix)..
where she is trying to connect with her brother. It really brought
a human side to this Sci-Fi.
