So i watched the first two episodes of Torchwood last night (this morning actually) because i was looking to fill insomnia time. Thus far, i don't feel anything for the team: they're all so closed and standoffish. Even Captain Jack doesn't seem his usual happy go lucky self, not any real flirting to speak of. i guess he's lived through a lot, and it's all hidden, and he's not the same person he was when traveling with the Doctor. It's a bit odd that he's obsessive about handy (how did the alien pick up on that?) and standing on top of buildings (i guess he's looking for the Doctor?).
It's all more raw than Doctor Who. So far, we've seen everything through Gwen's eyes, except for brief glimpses of the lives of the Torchwood members. i like her well enough, i suppose, but she seems very innocent, whereas Jack basically knows everything (kind of a Doctor figure in a way, especially with the technobabble). There are bows to Star Trek DS9, with the cog-like door and bringing sex to the forefront. So far, it's not moving me enough to feel anything for it, really, not love or hatred, it's just kind of meh. Time will tell, i suppose.
