Torched

torchwood.jpgThree episodes in and all I can say is, “It’s gonna be a loooong season, y’all.” This show is nowhere near as fun as Doctor Who, not even as fun as eps with Ostrichboy Ten. The allure of Captain Jack Harkness was his boyish naughtiness. In Torchwood, Jack is just dead. There’s no fire in him at all. He’s like a cross between Chris Noth on Law & Order and Tom Cruise–and you know I hate Tom Cruise. I’ll watch because I can, but this show is already dying a painful death to me. I can’t wait for you guys to check it out and tell me if I’m just being narrow-minded or if it’s really crap.

TV Thoughts

Heroes: Not a lot happened this week, but DAYUM. When Nathan flies, he’s not playing around. WOW! Coolest wow moment of the new season on any show. Peter? Still whiny and even more annoying. Also? Needs more Mohinder. Now that Riley’s pal from The Initiative is officially onboard as Niki’s “murderous” husband, maybe she’ll become a little more interesting.

ANTM: My picks going into the season: Christian, Megan, AJ. If you watch the show, you know how well my track record is looking. I’m almost scared to root for Caridee.

The Nine: Nothing ever really happens, but I still like this show and won’t miss it.

LOST: Damn, how I love Locke-centric eps. LOVE. I’m interested to see what the deal with Hurley’s deja vu will be, but I really don’t care anymore about Jack/Kate OR Kate/Sawyer. I think I’m going to ship Locke/The Island or Eko/Anything.

RW/RR: The Duel: Hahahaha, Tina. HA! If Kina goes soon, I’ll be sooo happy. The Duel itself is boring, but everything else is classic MTV drama. Yay!

Top Chef: No real favorite, no real villain….yet. Padma is only a shade better than Katie as the host, as she always looks like it’s hurting her to speak. It looks like she has a huge scar on her right arm, though, so that makes her way cool.

I like the vibe of the show well enough, but I’m waiting to see just what direction the show ends up going. I compare it with my interest in Series 2 of Doctor Who —must see, but not TEH MINUTE it’s out. I’m surprised to find myself wishing for more Captain Jack Harkness, because I really thought he’d ham it up too much, but he’s very restrained (at least in the first two eps).
