Not that you'd know it here on Coax between all the Whedon news tidbits. Apparently an excellent sci fi show putting in the best episodes thus far isn't worthy of talkbacks, but if Whedon says ONE WORD, it's worthy of a headline.

As I noted earlier, Whedon or Buffy are mentioned in 3 out of the 10 current healines on Coax. How about a little fucking balance? There are other shows that are STILL ON and HAVEN'T BEEN CANCELED, and someone here is still so obsessed that they're still yapping about a defunct show and the actors who have indicated they want nothing to do with it anymore.

Give me a fucking break, already. Herc ignored the ENTIRE season of Torchwood, and as I said previously, it was the best work thus far. It kicked ass, actually.

We get it. Someone is a Whedon fan. Whoopee. However, we do NOT need an article about the fucker ever other day at the cost of other shows getting recognition.

The first season had trouble finding its legs. This season, however, had some excellent character development and some truly clever episodes.

One of the early episode of this season, "Sleeper", was about a woman who was a part of a "sleeper cell" of aliens who had planned an attack on Earth. The story was very well done. She was not aware of who she was, and was terrified of it when it was discovered. I can't do it justice in a talkback. It's worth a look, though.

This season also had one of the Buffy alumni as a recurring character. He was pretty cool, and this last episode really worked for him.

I'd recommend renting Season One, and if you don't hate it, give Season Two a try. As Buffy fans keep telling me, don't use Season One as an indicator of the show's quality. The second season is where it really took off.

I don't like Buffy. I absolutely despise the way Whedon writes dialogue, and I thought Buffy was trite and trendy. However, I can agree with you on Farscape being a worthy show, and if you liked Farscape, you'll probably like Torchwood.

Watching Dr. Who is optional. He's a catalyst, but he's not required to get full entertainment value out of Torchwood.

One thing, though: Captain Jack is from the far-off future where everybody is apparently bisexual, and as such there are moments of gay/bi behavior that may bother some people. It doesn't bug me (it's his character, and it's no different than straight relationships being played on shows) but it's an unavoidable detail of the show.

By the way- The ratings for the show seem to indicate that it's been picking up viewers this season. I must not be the only one who has seen the show's newest season as it's best.

Another episode I'd recommend is "Adrift", which is about what happens when people get sucked INTO the dimensional rift. The rest of the series is concerned with what comes out.

Let's just say that getting sucked into a dimensional rift isn't as fun as it was for the kids in the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon...

1:45 used in introductions everyone

1:00 of Joss talking about high school fears (really?)

0:15 of them asking a question and Sarah making a funny while Joss is talking.

Seriously this was the worse clip of the bunch. I learned nothing from this

aside from I would have really liked to have heard the other people talk.

obviously, murder is no longer scarry enough to us.

With shows like the Shield and Law & Order:SUV it is obvious that rape is the new murder.

In order to get an emotional reaction out of viewers the bar has been raised to rape

Just wait in 20-30 years TV will have to show cannibalism to get a reaction.
