I am finally getting on the Torchwood bandwagon.

Season 1, Episode 1: bad, but the first episode of every show is bad. Like Jack's coat, love Ianto's suit, hey, they just killed Indira Varma.

Season 1, Episode 2: a sex parasite? Oi. On the other hand, I can see how this might just turn into the best trash on television. Oh hey, girls kissing that doesn't involve soft lighting and lame emotional content. Okay, so it involves a sex parasite, but still!

I love Torchwood, but I'm v. aware of its myriad flaws.

"Cyberwoman" will, almost certainly, have you hurling stuff at the screen and/or flat on your back with laughter. Possibly both.

However, there are eps that are worth the wait - "Countrycide" (badly flawed, still, but more amusing that "Cyberwoman"), "They Keep Killing Suzie" and "Random Shoes" spring to mind.

For what it's worth, the first eps of season 2 made up for a LOT of season 1. ;)

Agreed about season 2, I'm loving it. Season 1 was impressively uneven, but I'm loving this season, especially since we have 2 episodes written by Catherine Tregenna coming up.

As for bad, nothing topped the finale for me (although Cyberwoman did give it a good try). OTOH, I also loved "They Keep Killing Suzie" and "Random Shoes", I also really liked "Captain Jack Harkness", and I thought "Out of Time" was one of perhaps the 2 or 3 best Doctor Who related things I've ever seen, and one of the better TV shows I've ever seen.

Y'know, I would have liked "Out of Time" much more (and that's not to say I didn't like it, I just would have liked it more) if it didn't feature the least romantic love scene, evar - or so it struck me as being.

But the general story of the eps, overall? Liked it a lot. :)

And I just caved in re: my DLing rule and watched Torchwood 2x02 - much better than I expected from the preview, actually. I expect to cave in re: 2x03, shortly... ;)
