A Torchwood poll

[coalescent]

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.

First two episodes of season two were better than any episode of season one, so I gave it a 'good' for improvement... would have preferred 'better' rather than 'good.'

Jack is astonishingly camp.

I object to the idea that Gwen is a career woman. She was the most unlikely cop I have ever seen in my life, and failed totally as the audience identification character she was meant to be. Luckily, they seem to have dropped that this season. Mind you, I never liked Rose, either.

As for your last question, a lot of the most rabid fans of Torchwood are fangirls squeeing because they have finally been delivered of a series where slash is canon. However, it may be that there is something in your contention - but if so it would not make the criticism any less true.
