Torchwood
Half arsed ninja:
The first couple of episodes weren't too bad, but that third episode was crap. The stories aren't terrible, they're basically Dr Who stories with more sex references, but it would help if the cast could actually act, the actor who plays Jack and the actress who play the asian woman, can't remember her name, are ok but the rest of cast, particularly Gwen and Owen, are truly awful actors.
Torchwood I find that I think 'I guess I better watch it'. This series doesn't seem to have delivered for me yet and I doubt it will as Gwen has be the most annoying character on TV and the actress playing her seems to have somehow gotten even worse at acting than she was before

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.

So we aren't allowed to say that a crap TV show is crap?

Nobody was saying that. We were just pointing out that the show is poorly executed.
That doesn't keep me from ejoying a couple of the episodes, though. Just because the enjoyment of something is subjective, doesn't mean you can't objectively talk about it's quality.
Inlander:
In the first episode of Torchwood I saw one of the main characters got gut-shot at point-blank range by a shotgun and seemed to barely suffer any ill effects. Generally I like a leeeeeeetle bit more realism in my T.V. series. Even the sci-fi ones. Still, based on the two episodes I've watched it seems diverting enough.
