Mild Spoilers For Torchwood, Buffy, Angel and er.. Two Pints Of Lager And A Packet Of Crisps

I enjoyed Torchwood, but more in the way that I might enjoy a particularly good fanfic rather than the level I might appreciate a piece of original sci-fi action drama. The presence of James Marsters only made me remember that I should probably go pick up the next issue of the official Angel continuation After The Fall, which also contains a fish character and is generally an unfair comparison to Torchwood. Spike also appeared within the pages of Buffy Season 8 which is also unworthy of the faint praise of Better Than Torchwood.
Thankfully I can point to one recent season premiere that was more predictable, self-aware, shark-jumping and Barrowman-worshipping - BBC Three's Two Pints Of Lager. But that was quite enjoyable too. At least Torchwood included one interesting science fiction concept - "murder rehab".
Plus, it was nice to see Doctor-Who-Jack instead of Torchwood-Season-One-Jack. And if they'd only injected the DNA into the device rather than the heart, it would have made substantially more sense although quite how... I'll stop. It's a show that's best left unquestioned, really.
Torchwood 2x01 deserves an award for "Best V-Formation Walking". This is why they need Jack! It's particularly impressive when they reverse direction.
