My opinion hasn't changed that much... Torchwood is "ok" but still feels like a dumping ground for rejected Doctor Who scripts with added "fuck" and "shit" to make it more "edgy" and "adult" - it's so blatant and obvious that it makes me overuse "quotes"
That, coupled with Russel T Davies obvious attempts to play out his fantasies in each episode make it somewhat embarrassing and difficult to watch. JACK IS GAY, we get it, we just don't really care. What does bother me though is (frankly) I don't like to watch dudes kissing. No, I'm not homophobic but I don't want to watch full-on tongue action between two guys in what is essentially one of the BBCs flagship Sci-fi shows, especially when it's as tacked-on and superfluous to the plot as the recent "Jack Harkness" episode was. Not only was the scene at the end of the dance unnecessary but it was stupid... Being in the Army and having a full-on tongue sandwich with another guy, in front of a crowd of soldiers in 1940-something wouldn't happen. ok, having a "rift" open under Cardiff is pretty unlikely too but you get my point!
So please, Russel, for the sake of the hetrosexual viewers that you haven't already alienated, drop the gratuitous man-on-man action and get on with writing some episodes that don't appear to have been written by a dyslexic mollusc with ADHD... You cunt!
