Anyone been watching Torchwood?

[smokeysmoo]

No

 

[Norm]

Yes, I've been watching it and yes, it's crap. IMO.

5 weeks on and my opinion didn't change.

The most terrifying revelation of the whole series was right at the end when it hinted at a sequel.

Yes, there was a shudder up my spine at that point.

There is this amazing invention called the off button. It allows you to stop watching what is on the TV.

Granted. You can also leave the room, unless you are physically restrained and made to watch?

Stuck with it to the end for some reason - probably that morbid fascination with watching a train wreck in slow motion. What a load of c**p. The whole thing was drawn out far too long, it spent ages on "personal interest" stories and long drawn out red herrings rather than having a plot - you got the feeling the script writers were making it up as they went. Although they had no problem with killing off loads of characters the whole plot revolved around "the whole world is collapsing but its more important I save my dad/sister/friend than save the world". The last episode was so ridiculous and full of holes - the characters had to spend ages in dialogue telling the baddies exactly what they were going to do next rather than getting on and doing it. The baddies in Buenos Aires could not shoot the goodies so a stand-off ensued rather than simply physically jumping them. And the baddies - all two of them - from the worlds most powerful mafia families would have fitted in better in an Only Fools and Horses script. The most terrifying revelation of the whole series was right at the end when it hinted at a sequel.

Well it's certainly had an effect on you.. I'm certain you'll be watching the next series wont you?

The pub?

So apart from that you enjoyed it then?

As in "Apart from that, how was the play Mrs Lincoln?"

Passive watching is as damaging as passive watching IMO

Wouldn't you, living in a bedsit with 8 kids and only crap on the TV?

Personally no. I'd stamp my authority by getting rid of the TV

It keeps her out of mischief. Who knows what she'd find without that... she might even start doing things like counting the bikes!

OK I see your point. How big is this bedsit BTW?
