Torchwood Series 1 Discussion Thread

[pokemon_master]

Nice to have you back Leela.

I agree with you Leela; it should be Christmas already.. Can't wait till DW christmas episode. Perhaps Catherine Tate can act like she's funny with the lines beeing fed into her.. Although, I am slightly miffed about the bringing back of santas. It's more like a weird feeling that they'd bring them back every year.. I hear there are Spiders involved in this one; perhaps Emporer Dalek will get his wish and get to see the hyperintelligent spiders again?

I also agree with Rich. A lot of people watched the first 2 episodes and then shut it out. Even Emporer Dalek doesn't come on here that often anymore.. All I can really say is that I can't wait to DW series 3 so we can get back to discussions again..

I have to say, although I havent seen last weeks as yet, I have really enjoyed most of the episodes, however I am easily pleased

Dont read too much into that, the problem is ''TIME'' itself, stuck in a timespace votex means sometimes you have other priorities, like families!

Merry Christmas to all.

PS do not mention The Rani, or USA Daleks in New York, or Cybers, just pre order for Christmas 2007 now!

Hi Emporer Dalek again.

Are you trying to tell us something about the next series??

 

[Andrew DEREK UK]

Well lets just say I took Micheal Grade from 1986 to next Christmas and showed him all of the Doctor Who toys and money spinners and reminded him that he was one of the few people around to get the better of the old doc and bannish him from BBC1 for such a long time.

But yes the Rani is back but not Kate O'Mara, and the Daleks I understand make their third agreed appearance, in New York, Judoon (vertical standing Rhinos, Plasmavores, ( I think they eat TV's -joke) Shakespeare, new assistant is a doctor, -well if she passes her exams! so lots of ''I am the Doctor, jokes!''

Last years Christmas special is on this afternoon at 4.25pm!

Quick Bump up for Last night episode's discussion.

Only 3 left..

 

[Andrew DEREK UK]

Watch it on BBC2 as there isnt anything else on Wednesday nights so cannot commment, liked all the episodes so far bar the canibal one with the all that killing on the farm and eating people. No plot on that one!

 

[mikki.young]

They seem to have quite a few sad episodes but it is good adult entertainment (with the exception of the one Andrew mentioned!)

 

[pokemon_master]

I watched last Sunday's episode yesterday. I liked it.

Kinda rude in places and there were bits I didn't like (e.g. the son with Alzhimer's ~ I didn't know about it until that episode. Oh... , and the assisted suicide). Overall, I liked it. Would've like to have known if that women made it though..

Just like DW, they have a couple of bad episodes in the middle of the series and make the rest good. Well, that's hoping they make the rest good... Oh, and 5 days till the special!!

 

[chrismoo]

The latest episode (plane from the past)

It was watchable and entertaining. However the overall series seems a bit lacking the the alien department.

Perhaps the special FX cost too much and its much cheaper to make episodes like this one as fillers.

Nice to see you back, Emperor Dalek Hope you have a Merry Christmas too.

Haven't watched this week's episode yet, so will be back when I have.

Leela

 

[pokemon_master]

Hey Guys, quick bump since I may get to watch this weeks ep tonight.

(It's also on the telly too.)

 

[pokemon_master]

I watched it yesterday. I liked it though I hated what they did to the weevils. If I were one of them I'd rip everyone to shreds..

Finale next week. 2 in one go. I think with what the dude said in the last one is probably correct and next week we may get to see a big weevil that Jack had met??

 

[Andrew DEREK UK]

Nice to see you back, Emperor Dalek Hope you have a Merry Christmas too.



Leela

That is a great picture of you with pooh at MK. I think he would have enjoyed it more than you!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL

Torchwood Finale is tonight! :

Also Sarah Jane Smith Adventures Premieres today..

 

[BingsingsWaltDisney]

Hi let me firstly introduce myself Harry and a massive Dr Who fan. My thoughts on torchwood, has great potential some hit and miss story lines. Cant wait for the finale tonight, one of the better story-lines.

I've just been on sky text and they are saying that both Robert Caryle and Jason Statham and in the running for the next Dr. My Mrs says she will be an avid watcher if Jason Statham gets the part.

Cant wait for Sarah Jane Smith new series lets hope its good one.


Long live David Tennant

 

[florida sun]

Hope you enjoy this thread Harry

 

[Andrew DEREK UK]

The BBC have been very active in saying The Sun paper report that David Tenant will depart in mid Series 4.

Through a universal translator that decodes as:-

He wants more money and agent is seeing how mch the BBC want him.

Or

He is off in Series 4! and the toy shops need to sell their Doctors fast before another change

Maybe the 11th Doctor is already aound, calling himself............
Captain Jack Harkness!

 

[chrismoo]

Great double episode tonight.

Only thing I thought was the demon looked borrowed straight from the Dr Who episode, and the game doom.

 

[pokemon_master]

I loved the first episode - scary and thrilling although my brothers thought it weird how Jack and Jack could kiss/toshiko could be in the ball without being arrested. However, A) I didn't like the transistion into episodes. I mean, no cliffhanger? No sequencing? and b) the second episode was a lot worse than the first.

The second episode was bad because it dragged too much. The monster was there for what 5 minutes tops? And the sentimental parts just dragged and dragged and dragged. The major dissapointment was no Doctor at the end. They so could of done that; Why didn't they?!

Well, that's another BBC show which I will not be watching series 2 of (Well.. maybe.. )

EDIT: Also would like to point out I haven't heard anything on the replacement, but I'd love it if Alan Davies was number 11.
