We watched it and I found it a bit too American as well. My ED loves it though, so she will forgive anything :lol: It's an interesting story line, and I thought Bill Pullman was very very creepy *shudders* Looking forward to finding out why things are happening the way they are, though.

It was ver mumbly american at the beginning but things started looking up when Captain Jack arrived; I hate the idea of it being American now though; I hope this doesn't come over the wrong way, but I'm glad it focuses on the more 'bizarrre' ways of dying rather that the more normal ones as that would be more upsetting...

Gonna watch it tonight after I've made the OH watch the final episode of children of earth - I got him hooked. I love bill pullman, I hope he's brill in this.

 

 

Re. Gwen/Eve Myles - I totally have a girl crush on her. She's adorable and feisty - I appreciate likeable characters.

Loved it. RTD will keep it very Welsh still, but it is a global phenomenon they are investigating and it was brilliant to watch some of the big budget scenes with Our Gwen holding it all together. The holding the baby scenes were fantastic. Gwen Cooper is amazing, yanks or not. A very clever move to get the cash, ramp up the thrills but maintain its heart by RTD. :D

I never really got into past series, thinking they were really kids programs (like doctor who), but as John Barrowman is so gorgeous and the reviews were so good, I watched last night and am completely hooked - such an interesting angle to take on different circumstances where people don't die and great acting - little bit too American, but not too much I thought.

I wasn't too sure about the departure from Cardiff but I LOOOOVVEEDD it! It reminded me more of the early series of Torchwood ( though I found C of E very powerful) and i am so glad that Gwen is still there. JB was great and cant wait to see the next episode. Just hope that the things go back to normal at the end..... hate the idea of Captain Jack being mortal... maybe they want to kill him off :shock:

I wasn't completely taken by it, but its early days so time will tell :wink:

 

I love playing "spot the places I know" with most of it filmed in South Wales :lol:

 

in fact, only this week OH was at a photography shoot right by the house in the middle of no-where, the house even got into a few shots :clap:

I missed most of Children of Earth so was shocked to only see Gwen and Captain Jack. Have treated myself to a Torchwood boxset :D

Have also listened to two Torchwood: The Lost Files plays on Radio 4 podcast while making cakes at 5am :shock: this morning :roll:

Am not sure how I feel about the new series, will stick with it though.

Sorry Bellkatz. I can't read your tiny tiny writing. Can you make it a bit bigger please. I think my eyes are too old!!! :?

 

 

highlight it, copy it then paste it somewhere else where you can write text - you'll see it full size - only, it contains a spoiler, which is why she's made it tiny - so it doesn't ruin it for those of us who haven't watched it yet :)

Easier to just click the "Quote" button, top left of the post and you'll see the post in normal text. :wink:

3 episodes in and not impressed so far. Where has the charm and humour gone (or should that be humor now that it is so much an American series)

 

It was so good because it always had a Dr Who link but was the "after the watershed" version with slightly more adult topics and like Dr Who it was quirky.

 

This doesn't seem to know where it is going and is now another generic US series containing beautiful people. Looks like they have made it too long as well as US series have to be long enough for the sponsors to get their advertising quotient in.

 

And what's with the bedroom scenes - don't seem to have anything to do with the story.

 

Very disappointed
