Coalescent

A thought I had, in the process of trying to come to terms with the glorious badness of Torchwood, is that while Jack is supposed to be 'aggressively bi', is it just me, or are his tastes very heavily targeted towards men? There's been a lot of flirting, but the only actual loving female relationship we've seen onscreen was with the old woman (can't remember her name) in the S1 episode 'Small Worlds'. I can't help feeling that Jack kissing boys is part of the whole badge-wearing 'look at me' attention-grabbing side of Torchwood, and that they play with Jack's nature as a 'will shag anything' bisexual, but they can't approach it completely seriously, otherwise they open themselves to the likelihood that Jack might end up in a serious relationship with someone female- thus torpedoing the "Look! Boykissing!" stuff. Again, this is something that plays far better on Who- because in a family show, you can't go further than flirting, and in that respect (once again) Jack works so much better, and is far more interesting in a climate where you do have to use subtext and dialogue rather than cutting to the full-on snogging.

Hope that made sense...
