scoopny Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 I don't know if any of you watch this show, but the second season premier is coming up soon. It's on BBCAmerica (Or just the BBC if you happen to be in England). It's written by Russell Davies, the author of British Queer as Folk and it's very gay and a lot of fun. The best episode was when Capt. Jack jumps back in time and meets a gay soldier whom he knows is going to die the next day. SOOO SWEET! Anyway, here's the link to the season preview: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=e4OySGjiQ4Y I highly recommend you catch it if you can.
Dalmatia Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 I watch it! I can't wait for the second series, I loved the first Who would have guessed that quite so many aliens want to have sex with us??
Trebs Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 Absolutely LOVE the show and can't wait for the next season to start...

scoopny Posted January 10, 2008 Author Posted January 10, 2008 (edited) For someone who haven't seen it, what is it all about? and what do I need to know before watching the second season? Torchwood is a super-secret british agency that handles all alien contact. Their leader is the bisexual Capt. Jack. Who cannot die. I mean he dies often, but he always comes back. It's his curse. Capt. Jack leads a crew who investigate alien visits and kill bad aliens (almost all of them are bad and most sleep with us too). All of the crew has secrets, Jack is sleeping with his assistant, they do kinky things together. Anyway, the world's gone to pot at the start of season 2, disease has infected earth from all the time jumping. So it's torchwood to the rescue -- with plenty of sex, gay and straight and otherwise. There's also a lot of crossover between Torchwood and Dr. Who. And yah for all the other Torchwood fans out there. I also love Dr. Who. But I didn't want to seem like too much of a geek, lol.

ashessnow Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 Ha. Love Torchwood. Been waiting for it and Doc to come back on.
Dalmatia Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 I love Dr Who too, so you arnt the only geek
franticity Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 Oh god yes! I can't wait for the 26th, when the second season airs on BBC America.
dkstories Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 I am so happy this is airing on BBC America. I have loved the Capt. Jack character since he first appeared on Dr. Who and thought it was wonderful that they brought him back into his own show. Now, to show how geeky I am...and just how much this series is based on stuff in Dr. Who... We first met Jack in an episode of Dr. Who where the Doctor and his companion Rose (best companion ever for a Doctor!!!!) were in WWII London. There they met a dashing Royal Air Force Captain, who turned out to be from Earth's future. He ends up with the Doctor and Rose, and travels to the FAR future with them. In that season, the Doctor and Rose came up against the Daleks. For those that don't know, Daleks are the Doctor's enemy, and they are bent on one thing: extermination of all non-Dalek life. During the climactic final battle, Jack is killed while holding the Daleks off for Rose and the Doctor. The super-secret agency known as Torchwood was created by the Queen in the 1800's after a run-in with the Doctor and an alien werewolf. They are charged with finding alien technology and using it to defend the Earth against aliens. In a Dr. Who Episode, Torchwood fired a giant laser beam, destroying an orbiting space ship. Later, Torchwood was ground zero for an epic battle between Cybermen and Daleks. Cardiff Torchwood, led by Capt. Jack, is charged with guarding the world from the dangers of a time-rift that is centered over that city. The main characters of this show are all rife with secrets, and Jack is very much a man of his century (his birth century that is) and completely bisexual. So are a fair number of his staff, including Ianto, his handsome assistant who...well their kiss is only bested by the kiss between Jack and the WWII airman whose name he took, the real Captain Jack.
scoopny Posted January 11, 2008 Author Posted January 11, 2008 The episode between Jack and his namesake is probably the best gay sci-fi episode ever.
Dalmatia Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 Woo new series starts on wednesday here in the UK!!
JamesSavik Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 I dig it but have to have help from a British friend for translations.
scoopny Posted January 12, 2008 Author Posted January 12, 2008 I dig it but have to have help from a British friend for translations. I have one suggestion: closed captionining. Works like a charm.
Jeebus Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 I LOVE TORCHWOOD!!! It's THIS WEDNESDAY. COOL!!!! 9:00pm I think. But AMAZING! Yummy Capt. Jack. *drools* but anyway, I'm more of a David Tennant Fan really. and he's coming to my town this/next (not sure which) year, because he is in a Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) play. Dunno which one though. Perks of living in Stratford-upon-Avon eh. lol. Much Loves
Adrian Michaels Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 I love Torchwood and Dr. Who. YAY It's also really nice because the writer's strike has grounded everything over here. I've turned to BBC a lot, and got hooked on a few of their shows. That, and John Barrowman= total stud.
Dalmatia Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 The first episode of series 2 was good ^^ I wont spoil it for any of you though, but it just topped Buffy and Dr Who for me Oh and its my 100th post
Jeebus Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 (edited) The first episode of series 2 was good ^^ I wont spoil it for any of you though, but it just topped Buffy and Dr Who for me Oh and its my 100th post I thought it was good. James Marsters, John Barrowman and Gareth David-Lloyd are totally hotties, no doubt. Although I prefer some more welsh in me. I wish I still my welsh accent. When I do the accent now it seems false. Also Congrats Dalmatia on your One Hundredth / Hefyd Congrats Dalmatia acha 'ch Hun 'n Ganfed P.S. That isn't a jumble of letters peeps. It's Welsh. Edited January 18, 2008 by Jeebus

Pai-kun Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 (edited) The first episode of series 2 was good ^^ I wont spoil it for any of you though, but it just topped Buffy and Dr Who for me Oh and its my 100th post Nothing will ever top Buffy for me, but yeah it was awesome! That was one hot episode, lol. Man you brits are lucky. We don't get the premiere until Jan. 25! No spoilers, lol. God bless BitTorrent! Edited January 18, 2008 by Pai-chan
Dalmatia Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Just had the second episode today I think this was the episode they filmed and everyone in Cardiff thought it was a terrorist attack because they gave no warning
Jeebus Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 LMAO. I can see why they didn't tell the public. For a true reaction from them. It was much better than the first episode I think.
