Torchwood

[AngelBaby]

Anyone else watch any of this?

I tried to get into it, I really did. But like most Brit sci-fi television, the whole thing just got too hokey for me. That and something about the production values of most of those UK series just screams low-budget. The one that I do own on DVD is Ultraviolet. Now that was a cool show.

Oh, the one thing I did like about Torchwood was the setting. I'm not at all familiar with Cardiff, Wales, but it looks like a pretty cool city. Very futuristic in parts, like around that Millennium Center area where the squad is headquartered. And I admired the fact that they didn't just set it in London as I would guess would be the tendency.

The new Doctor Who series is shite, so it's not a stretch to imagine that a spinoff series based on a shite series might also be pretty shite.

I don't get how they've become so popular given that they're so cheap and the scripts sound like they were plucked out of a junior school writing competition. Torchwood is supposed to be a darker, more adult sci-fi show whereas Doctor Who is more family oriented, but basically it just means that they get to swear a bit more and sex it up with some tame ass innuendo.

I'm not at all familiar with Cardiff, Wales, but it looks like a pretty cool city.

I live (t)here. It ain't all that and a bag of chips. They've only recently revamped the bay, and with the proper lighting, pretty much any place can look awesome.

A far cry from futuristic, most of the decent things to see are ancient (like castles and museums).

If I can find some pics, I'll post them for ya (don't get ya hopes up though, half my discs don't have labels on them).
