Torchwood thoughts

[tenaya]

I think I'm a mutant--I didn't cry and I wasn't that moved. I felt like the characters were moved around like pieces on a chessboard rather than by real emotional motivations, and what emotions were there were too melodramatic. Actually, I've always thought Torchwood too melodramatic for my tastes--I prefer subtly instead of hysterics--I come from stoic stock. There were too many plot holes, and I never lost myself in the action. And to be truthful, the only character I really liked was Tosh, so killing off the characters I've never taken a shine to isn't devastating to me. Neither was the threat to kill all those kids. Pile them on top of each other like that and I'm left with the impression it's a cheap writer's trick to upset the viewer. And that worked on many, many viewers but not on me.

Frankly, I think RTD has delusions about how wonderful S3 is, what great insightful art it is (he reminds me of R.C.Cooper.)

I did like Lois. And Rhys.

Oh well. This is why Baskin and Robbins has 31 flavors; no one thing is for everybody.
