Torchwood
glwtta:
It's a lot cheesier than I expected (and a lot of the dialogue is downright terrible), but it's still kinda fun.
Also, it's pretty funny how they can't seem to go a week without someone shagging an alien and bringing it to their super-secret headquarters to wreak havoc. :-D
Spinless:
I think it's hilarious when people criticise TV for things like 'It's cheesey! It's trash! It's poorly written!'.
Those people who say that are complete idiots. Because that's what television is for. Cheap entertainment.
As far as I'm concerned, if you're not watching the news on TV, then you're watching trash. If you're watching the news on tv, chances are you're probably watching trash. Viva la BBC.
Now, as for my opinion on Torchwood...
Love it. It's laugh out loud hilarious for the most part. Didn't laugh at the episode with the cannibals though...

OH MY GOD THEY KILLED SUZIE! :-o

Ok... so what about the 5% of television shows with good writing? Are we ignoring them because you think that medium is beneath you?
I don't really see how your opinion of what television is for impacts my ability to tell a well-written show from a crappy one.
Spinless:
I never said that 'the medium is beneath me'.
Quite the opposite, I LOVE television, I get like 5 hours of it a week.
I was saying that people who dismiss TV shows for being trashy are like people who buy food from fairground vendor and expect it to be the most amazing thing they've ever tasted.
And I didn't say 'trashy' meant 'bad writing'. A throwaway trashy tv show can have good writing. Great writing. But I was thinking about people who dismiss a TV show because 'It's not intelligent enough'.
TV snobs are like music snobs in many many ways.
