A Torchwood poll

Inspired by:
Sarah Jane Adventures better than Torchwood? I'm a big fan of Torchwood's first season and I'm liking the second large. The ep of the Sarah Jane Adventures that I've seen was cool but not great so it's hard for me to judge relative merits. But, as The Evening Herald opined yesterday, I can't help but wondering if some of the "Torchwood is crap" sentiment springs from resistance to a show which is headlined by an openly gay man who is not camp and a career woman who is not girly.


[Poll #1127773]

Captain Jack is a bisexual man who is as camp as Butlins.

He isn't usually camp. he's gay, not macho, but not camp. there is a sot of refreshing open honesty about his sexualit - which is why Cpt Jack was so wonderful in Dr Who and why the sexual emphasis in Crotchwood series 1 was so counter productive. JB comes over as a man whose sexuality is as part of him as any het man but not MORE than that.
