The one who's slept with all your friends, and you keep looking at them and thinking, "how the hell did they land all these cool people?" Torchwood. Sometimes I feel so alone.
YANA, dude, YANA: Torchwood is so. Much. Bullshit. I'm watching it these days because people I respect and love told me that season 3 is really good, but holy shit am I suffering as I'm watching those first two seasons. You know, I actually liked Jack in Doctor Who; he was a cool, solar, devil-may-care adventurer (like the male equivalent of River Song), he had some good lines, I honestly liked him. I was HORRIFIED when I watched the first few episodes of Torchwood: OH MY GOD WHAT AN ABSOLUTE DICK. He's horrible! And incompetent. And why the fuck is he emo like that? I can't reconcile this Jack and the one I saw in Doctor Who; in Torchwood he's a hateful and amoral character, I can't stand him. I can't stand his team either, they're not much better than him and they keep doing stuff that defies all logic.
I've read a Sherlock/Torchwood crossover recently where Mycroft calls Jack to his office and audits the Torchwood accounts, pointing out all the instances where Jack behaved like a cock and was an incompetent fuck and demanding explanations about it. It was a brilliant fic. Hurray for Mycroft.
