Torchwood: Gay
« on: October 20, 2010, 12:14:01 AM »
I think this is the first show I've ever seen with a gay lead character that I actually like.

<In a non-Mabs way, of course....>

Good show.

Are they stillproducing Torchwood or did they end the series the last time Capt. Jack saved the universe?

Captain Jack isn't gay...he's omni-sexual...he'll do anything that can't outrun him....which is why alien sheep are nervous...  ;)

Impressed yet befogged, they grasped at his vivid leading phrases, seeing only their surface meaning, and missing the deeper current of his thought.

Only saw a couple Torchwood episodes, not too bad.

I really enjoyed Captain Jack when he first appeared in Dr Who.

Some of the newer Dr Who episodes were pretty darn good and were reminiscent of some of the thought provoking and clever episodes of the Tom Baker years.

There has been more insertion of liberal pet ideologies in the modern incarnation of the show. The Dr calling the welfare state the crowning achievement of humans was way over the top.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

It's nice to see someone portraying gay folks as real people, and not some flaming queen stereotype.

For interesting values of "real people" which include immortality.
