Guest guest Report post Posted October 25, 2006 I think there is a spin off for children also isnt there? something to do with Sarah Jayne? And the incident with the alien in the corridor was the only bloody scene in two episodes, and it in actual fact was over in seconds.So not a lot realy in proportion? I thought that the visual sex was the issue?, most programmes on at that time of night have some mention of sex either directly or indirectly. I certainly dont remember any sex scenes in the first episode, and the one in the second episode was over in about 10 seconds, and you didnt realy see anything, it could have been a lot more graphic given the storyline! And...yes as usual we will disagree........... The Valley Vegan..............Peter Kebbell <metalscarab wrote: Hi Peter >Possibly swayed by years of DR Who being before the watershed, and Torchwood being > aimed at an adult, post watershed audience? I think that is a bit of an issue. It seems to me that if you're going to do a spin-off from a series, it should really be aimed at a similar sort of audience. Torchwood could quite easily have nothing whatsoever to do with Dr Who - if it had just been its own thing, they still could have had all the elements it has, but wouldn't have lured Dr Who fans into thinking "great, we have a spin off". Why not just make the same programme without connecting it to a childrens / family programme? > I dont recall there being much blood actualy There was quite a bit when that bloke got "eaten" in the hospital corridor. > There was no sex at all in the first episode.

Guest guest Report post Posted October 25, 2006 Hi Peter >I think there is a spin off for children also isnt there? something to do with Sarah Jayne? I know there is going to be another spin off, and I gather it is aimed at kids... but then so is Dr Who... it *is* a children's programme! > I thought that the visual sex was the issue? Not particularly for me... it's more the mind-bogglingly crappy plot that revolves around sex. There's so many millions of possible concepts that Sci Fi can be written around - and that plot was just incredibly poor - seemed to be written as an excuse to have sex in it, rather than because there was anything intrinsically good about the plot. > most programmes on at that time of night have some mention of sex either directly or > indirectly. Sad, isn't it, that TV becomes one dimensional after 9pm. It's a shame that there's nothing on for those of us who aren't obsessed with sex. It's probably why I rarely watch any TV!

Sorry Jo, I guess sometimes I just dont think, and I dont usually get upset by anything much, and tend to think other people are the same. I didnt mean your an old bag or I would have just come out and said it, as I am usiually more direct than that ( your not much older than me are you? ). Are you sensative about your age?, I am always saying that I`m an old bugger. Dont take any of the crap that I say to heart, please I`m just a buffoon ( 1 st class with honours ).

You didnt miss much with the first episode, mostly introducing the charectors, and as a result, you probably missed something in the second episode, there was a lot of humour, albiet a lot of knob jokes! never bothered me before, as for being a little adolescent? showing your age or being a bit of a snob? you should have watched it all before judging it, it might have grown on you, although I seem to remember in previous posts you saying you probably wouldnt be watching it as it wasnt your cup of tea, so maybe you made up your own mind before you even saw it?

Jo - peter VV Monday, October 23, 2006 5:57 PM Re: Torchwood has landed! Just to let you guys know, I watched the first two episodes last night , and I enjoyed it, and will be a fan I think if it keeps up the same quality. Russel T D avies came up trumps again! There will be obvious comments comparing it to a cheap version of Men in Black, and the first episode was a bit slow, but for me it was o.k. The Valley Vegan...........

Guest guest Report post Posted October 27, 2006 I don't know. I don't have the sci-fi channel. no cable. just pbs. with and old fashioned antenae. we do get British Programmes on Saturday nights. monthy python, and a few other ones. It just reminded me of Torchwood, because when I got here two years ago I saw an amazing vision, something I had never seen before. It was a giant, humungous butterfly flying around. I was mesmerized by it. each wing must've been 4 inches. I have not seen it since, but dream about it. later I found out that there are only 200 left and I felt like I had just been hit by lightning. why was I chosen to be in it's presence? it was spiritual..... I looked it up on the internet and found it to be the Schaus Swallowtail, which lays it's eggs on Torchwood. here are some websites on it. http://library.thinkquest.org/CR0215087/butterfly.htm http://www.butterflyrecovery.org/species_profiles/schaus_swallowtail/ , " heartwerk " <jo.heartwork wrote: > > Hi Anouk > > That's interesting.
