Torchwood Series Four shaping up...

[craigoxbrow]

From TV Guide:

And Starz's new season of Torchwood is shaping up with the search for one series regular and two supporting roles. Rex Matheson is a white, twenty-something CIA agent who sounds sort of like FX's animated Archer spy: a fearless, cocky thrill seeker. Recurring characters include Esther Katusi, a newbie Watch Analyst in the CIA who is deeply (and secretly) in love with Rex. And Oswald Jones is the dangerous psychotic villain. He's a forty-something murderer and pedophile who gets sprung from the slammer into the spotlight.

So... that's a spinoff from popular family TV show Doctor Who with a major recurring role for a pedo.

And I feared our days of drink-along-a-Torchwood were behind us.

I've never actually watched Torchwood yet (bar the first episode).

Am I to understand that I am in fact lucky in this regard?

Given how much you seethe at the revived Doctor Who sometimes, I fear Torchwood would cause you irreperable physical harm.

Children Of Earth isn't bad though, although the ending lets the five-day pacing down.

I don't seethe that much. At least I watch it.

I just want bad science fiction, wonky sets, and a sonic screwdriver that isn't the solution to every problem. Is that so much to ask?

You do seethe a fair bit. I mean, it's nothing compared to the Willow-has-Attractiveness-2 thing, but...

Seething rage at that travesty!!!
