I give up.  The show had a vaguely interesting premise, and John Barrowman is hot (though he was hotter as the fun version of Captain Jack), but it has yet to have an episode that held up to five seconds thought.  Okay, maybe, maybe the fairy one, but  even it had issues and every other episode unravels with astounding speed if you think about it.  For example... The afterlife is nothing, but there's something in the nothing...and the dead are aware of it?  Logic failure.  Makes no sense.  None at all.  The existance of a spirit that can live on after death at all pretty much contradicts the idea that there is no afterlife, but when you throw in post-death awareness and a nothing with something in it... I smack you.

I also smack you for top secret organizations that are the laughing stock of the local police department.  All right, that could probably be pulled off if you made it clear that the top secret organization was only top secret and important in it's own mind...and maybe that's what they were going for with Torchwood.  But it didn't work so well.  Never mind that my disbelief won't suspend for a pack of losers being trusted (apparently) by the British government to deal with all threats alien.  What happend to UNIT?  They were part of the government and not a pack of idiot losers.  Seriously, the situation presented only works if Captain Jack is actually an evil mind-controling alien trying to prevent humanity from dealing with alien threats.

Actually, a list of all the things the show's writers need to be smacked for is too long for this journal.  So, I will sum up my gripe with this - if I actually liked any of the characters, maybe I could set a side the stupidity, but the show can't decided who we're supposed to sympathize with...if anyone...and two of the characters are complete jackasses, my liking for Gwen went out the window when she decided to cheat on her nice seeming boyfriend with the junior jackass, and Tosh just somehow doesn't keep my interest.  So, blah.  I quit.
