A little bit late (Torchwood)

ang_rosinGosh, I've been busy this weekend. Didn't get in until nearly 11.30 after our Torchwood watching soiree and dragging myself out of bed was a struggle this morning.
I felt very sorry for David last night, trapped in a room with four women watching Cap'n Jack run around in a military coat. That said he coped well and only winced once or twice.
As other friendlisters have pointed out Jack works best as a character when he is an irreverent, dangerous element. As a central character he lost a lot of his sparkle and I'm hoping he'll get a bit of if knocked back into him once we've got Gwennie bedded in a bit. On that note: cracking performance, there. Although I found myself becoming fascinated by her uneven eyes.
As to the adult content. Bleedin' hell. Saying fuck a few times and a relatively tame sex scene does not adult entertainment make.
First episode: the ending seemed to run up far too quickly. Didn't like the date rape aspect of it at all (although I like Burn Gorman - nice to see he's playing another slimy creep).
Second episode: a lot better although I wasn't convinced that cell could contain an alien that was gaseous.
Obviously I'll be sticking with it but with a 10 pm Sunday showtime I'll probably be taping it and taking myself off to bed rather than sitting up to watch.
