Thanks to your posts about the upcoming season of Torchwood (and the appearance of our dear Wee Blythe in it), I've started seriously checking out series one. I've only seen half of the episodes now, but enough to know that I like it. I like it more than Doctor Who (I'm only a casual viewer there). Love Captain Jack. I want to pet Ianto. Watching Owen makes me feel dirty (who would have thought that Mr. Guppy could be sexy? Don't wanna see him nekkid again, though. Yikes...). Gwen is a bit whiny, but she's growing on me. I want to know more about Tosh (other than that she crushes a bit on Owen). I hope Series Two is better than One. January 26 can't come soon enough!
I'm thinking about buying the DVD set- but will the stuff cut from BBC America be included? I hate not getting the same stuff they get in the U.K.!
Nothing like a new fandom to chase away the blues.

and whee, i've converted another 'woodie! *dances* i'll take all the nekkid owen if you don't want him...just leaves more for me. ;)
"Woodie". Hee.
I'm probably in the minority- I kinda liked Gwen/Owen. Rhys is a bit of a dork! A funny fanfic would be Owen/Rhys with Gwen watching...
you and millions. :) i realize i'm weird like that, but i prefer owen. he's much more interesting to me as a character, and burn gorman is by far and away the best actor in the cast (and nothing's sexier to me than raw talent. yum).
btw, you might change your mind about rhys in the later s1 episodes; he gets fleshed out a bit (quite literally, in one ep). one of many reasons gwen/owen bothers me is that the writers have set gwen up to be the torchwood team's moral compass - their 'forgotten humanity' - which really doesn't work at all if she's cheating on her loyal, loving, dependable boyfriend. 'human' that kind of behavior may be, but it's not very humane. plus it makes gwen into the worst kind of hypocrite when, say, she criticizes jack for saving the world in a way that doesn't fit with her moral standards while she's continually lying to her boyfriend at the same time (and doing much worse to him than that in later episodes).
BTW, I did some icon browsing and am borrowing these two of yours. Most awesome.
That was because someone in the commentary - Tennant, Freema or John - sang. And the song that was sung was too expensive to get the proper copyright clearances for release here in the U.S.
Ah, well...
