To boldly go where no SF television show has gone before

Last night [livejournal.com profile] sophiaserpentia and I watched episode 12 of Torchwood. The episode aptly titled "Jack Harkness". Yeah, that episode (for those of you in the know.) Wow, what a fabulous episode - great story line, intriguing unresolved plot detail, and OMG! OMG! OMG!



Men kissing! Gorgeous men! And not just a quick little peck, I mean really kissing, and it wasn't gratuitous either, it was integral to the plot. And of course Jack still has Ianto back at home for ongoing fooling around so it's not just a one-time fluke for him. Kudos to BBC-America for being willing to air this show! (Despite their silly censoring for language. I mean, who gives a *bleep!* about an occasional swear word. :-) )

Is this Season 1 eps 12? I so loved Torchwood. I downloaded it last year. It was good! Is there a Season 2 available? I am so hooked!

[identity profile] cowgrrl.livejournal.com 2007-12-03 02:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, that was season 1, episode 12! :-)

Season 2 of Tochwood will be airing in the UK and in the US starting sometime in January 2008 (so, really soon!) I don't know the exact timing but it's coming soon! (Whereas we in the US had to wait a really long time for season 1 unless we could download the eps.)

It seemed like a much longer time has passed since I saw season 1. I guess not. Yeah, down loading rocks. It also helps me watch shows in order. I like to watch the eps in order. (OCD issues) I also am watching Bad Girls, I just finished season 7. Here I think they are still on season 3. In the UK I know that Season 8 is finished but I have not heard any more after that.
Do you watch Dr Who? The new Dr Who? I wonder when the next season is going to be aired in the UK. We are behind in that as well. I love that too. *grins*

Torchwood season 1 aired in the UK a long time ago, but we're just now getting it here in the US. I wasn't sure we'd ever get it here.

I love the new Doctor Who! I'm not sure when the new season airs but I know they're getting another Christmas special which will be airing in the UK on Christmas day, so you should be able to download that soon after.

I just heard that Rose is coming back for 3 episodes of the new Dr Who Season 3. I have already seen season 2.
I was not sure we would be Torchwood either. I am glad that you are able to see it too.

I've seen all of Dr Who season 3 (it was on the sci-fi channel this fall) and sorry to say Rose wasn't in it at all. :( However, Captain Jack appears in 3 episodes.

The new Dr Who has only aired in the UK up until Season 2. That is with Martha Jones. They have not aired the new season 3. I just heard this from someone in Australia and going to the web site they have nothing on Season 3 yet. Rose died at the end of Season 1. Captain Jack was in several episodes of Season 2.

Nope, there have been three seasons of the New Doctor Who. I now own the DVD sets to all three seasons, have seen them all, and know this to be a fact. Rose was in the first two seasons, and Martha Jones is in 3rd season. Also, Rose is very much alive. Jack wasn't in second season at all. Your source is confused. :-)

You can find episodes guides of the first three seasons here:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/episodes/2007/index.shtml

But I see at that same site, different page, that you are right: Rose Tyler will be in at least one episode of season 4! *doing a happy dance*!!!

So we got the numbers a bit off. Is the US up to date with the Doctor Who episodes here or are we behind the UK? She said that she would be in at least 3 episodes of the next season. I might have gotten my numbers mixed up. I have problems with numbers. I actually looked at the same web page.
I have seem all of the ones listed for 2007. I loved Blink!

[identity profile] cowgrrl.livejournal.com 2007-12-03 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
The US has caught up to the UK. For now, anyway.

I loved Blink, too.

[identity profile] cluelessinchi.livejournal.com 2007-12-04 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
That is good to know. Did you know that Blink was written by Steven Moffat who also wrote the episodes "The Empty Child"/"The Doctor Dances" (2 parts) as well as the "The Girl in the Fireplace". I loved all of those episodes that he has written.
