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]

Jack is not gay. He doesn't care what gender something is - male, female or other.

And he's as camp as Butlins.

So far, S2 has been passably OK, and much better than S1. To say it was criticised because of latent sexism/homophobia is to ignore the identities of many of those doing the criticism completely. Ah well.

More Tosh would make it better, naturally.
