Life is to short to waste as the character ugine found out while looking back on his life, dont spend life always waiting, do something about it! also how the hell can you over act jack? he is the campest guy ever! and is supposed to be! i mean he's a 100 year old guy living in the 21st centry for god's sake!! random shoes is the best! it doesnt quite fit in with the rest of the shows as a sci fi genre, however it does bring a sence of reality and a wake up call in a way to our personal lives.

There are not many sci-fi shows this well written and fun to watch. I think Capitan Jack over acts a little bit but I find him enjoyable along with the rest of the cast. By the way everyone else may think I am crazy but I think Burn Gorman is so sexy. There is just something about him. He look like William Defoe, who is also hot. I love the show except, Random Shoes.

The new series of Torchwood is supposed to be out at January time..and where as there getting Martha there loosing one of the current team i really think that it will be Yanto where it should be Gwen because she just doesnt know what she is doing! And i think that the plot is revolved around Jack and his link to the last 3 eps of Doctor Who which was just amazing! Cant wait for the new series of Torchwood and the Doctor Who christmas special and new series! how can you slag torchwood off and the say your looking forward to SJA when right at the start you had exactly the same impression of both torchwood and SJA?!

I had more or less the EXACT same impression of the both Torchwood AND SJA. I just can't buy Torchwood. The plot - wait what plot? - is poorly defined and utterly unbelievable on every level, the characters are completely unlikeable (notably, I see absolutely nothing attractive about the Owen character so his spouting off like he is some great Casanova is just pathetic) and that RD felt it so important that "everyone is bisexual" (and polyamorous) is witless and insulting. Last time I checked, there was more than enough gratuitous sex on the tele. I give up on Torchwood. SJA, I am very much looking forward too. Wow reading this gave me chills.

also how can people say that “torchwood” only fights or finds out about sexy aliens? i hardly think a weavel is the best bit of totty in the alien world
bring back torchwood…what else is there to watch? another tedious series of bb? or repeats of have i got new for you?

I loved the character of Captain Jack on Doctor Who and I wanted to like this series so much. I watched the entire season, expecting the characters to grow (or at least get less annoying), but alas, the season ended with me just as disappointed as you. Tosh is definitely the best of the bunch, other than Jack. Let's hope the other characters step up, otherwise this promising series is doomed.

My favourite episode was Everything Changes, Countrycide and Cyberwoman although I think every single episode was fantastic. Ghost Machine and Small Worlds were good too though.

I can’t wait for the other series. I just can’t wait at all.

More Torchwood is needed and soon. Captain Jack is indeed sex on legs; yes JOHN BARROWMAN is gay, but the fictional character of CJ is supposed to be omnisexual so I'm sure we can all put in some overtime on our fantasies. Of course, Ianto is quite sweet as well. I really liked Countrycide. We saw some more background to the characters, and Owen's transistion from agressive propositioning of Gwen to efficient, dispassionate doctor was particularly well done. I agree totally.

Also you speak o the characters repeating past actions which they have suposidly learnt there lesson before, if no-one tried out new discoveries we wouldnt have the amount of technology we have today..tv's..computers ect. So why not write this into a tv series? and to the ladies comments of Owen being sexy/insfferable who cares what he is or isnt? Everyone has there own opinions and should be intitled to them! Personaly i'd choose Captain Jack any day (i know he's gay but do you realy think that anyone could hit it off with Owen?) I hope they will make another series, im a big fan! and i hope that it will make lots more too...how many more Doctor Who's can you have? lets have a change.Or merge the 2 together! even better! right i have to admit the Countrycide episode was pretty pointless but all the others were fab!..
