Why didn't anyone tell me that Torchwood kicked ass?

I kind of half-watched the first three or four episodes when they were on TV but didn't really worry when I kept missing it and then lost track completely.

I was kicking around last weekend and had stuff to watch and do but didn't really feel like any of it and my flatmate suggests (for the fiftieth time) that I watch it so I started and...

*hands*

Now I have to wait for season 2 because she lent it to someone else... argh!

I love tiny little touches in shows that mean someone is paying attention to how real people work and I love how real and normal Gwen is and how ridic their situations are. I mean, she throws up when she sees a dead body and then is not immediately fine. She keeps retching when she's trying to help Jack and that's just such a nice honest touch.

And then the next moment there's a pterodactyl fighting a cyberwoman.

HAHAHAHAAAAAA!!

Because it doesn't until the first season is nearly over? It didn't grab me until "Captain Jack Harkness"--and then it took me completely by surprise. I guess others fell in love with it faster.

I love Gwen. You should be warned, if you like her: a lot of people don't, and if you go looking for fans, you might see a lot of Gwen hate. :-(

Bah - that's never stopped me liking a character. I adore Teyla from Atlantis and the Teyla hate is pretty rabid too.

It more sours me on the fandom than the character.

If you're looking for more Gwen-love, there's always house_of_cooper. It's quiet, but bashing isn't tolerated.

Thanks! I should remember to go there. I have visited there occasionally, but not much because two people used icons that I thought were very much spoilers--in the same week. I suppose there's less risk of that now that I've seen all the eps that have currently aired!

Welcome to being an Australian - I pretty much can't help being spoiled ever... *grins*
