Torchwood Episode 1

My wife and I watched it together, enjoyed it, and will watch more. Let's see how it pans out.

I thought the 'threatening alien' plot itself wasn't what was important about that story. The important part of the episode was how Gwen was already finding a niche for herself on the team, and how she is destined to bring them together on a human level and become their conscience.

Exactly. It wasn't the overt bits that made it 'adult', it was the subtleties.

I quite liked it, I thought that the first episode was a bit stronger, but it has promise.

Episode three (last night) was also pretty cool - a nice dark atmosphere without too heavy sf overtones. I am impressed by the way that the regular "earthling" members of Torchwood are so easily led astray by their desires, whims and general fallibility when it comes to abusing the alien gadgetry and the "insider information" that they have access to as part of the institute. Jack seems a bit more cautious in this regard (understandably so). It makes for a nice contrast between a pseudo-enlightened time traveller and a bunch of greedy 21st century humans.

The teaser for next week's show looked very cool indeed. Cyberbabe alert!
