I have finally gotten around to watching a huge chunk of Torchwood. I have been saving it since I knew there would be a dearth of new programming around Xmas and later. It is not the greatest show in the world, there are plot holes you can drive a hummer through, Capt. Jack Harkness is not as …mmm…flamboyant? as he is in Dr. Who, they treat this super secret black ops group casually driving around in a big car with their name all over it and it seems like everyone knows who they are, they find strange technology and toss it on a desk or poke at buttons without setting up any kind of precautions, plus other weakness.

But I find I am craving it. I love this show. I want more and more and more. I am through episode 8 – They keep killing Suzie. It isn’t even hitting my cheese button, in other words I don’t love it because it is cheesy but because I actually like the show.

I even like how something will happen, it gets completely ignored the next episode but becomes central in the next. It actually seems to be part of the characters that they can set things aside and it leaks out later.

The other guilty pleasures (shows that are not high on quality but I am willing to over look that) include Moonlight and Blood Ties.

  1. Torchwood is very much a guilty pleasure of mine. Season 2 will be airing on BBCA only a couple of weeks behind the UK broadcast (although it WILL be edited for running time/content, damn them)
