Letters to TORCHWOOD, after watching The One with the Fairies

[rj_anderson]

Dear Jack: Your angst is painfully unconvincing, as is your leadership. Please go back to playing the smartmouthed second banana -- it suits you so much better.

Dear Gwen: I like your hair. Your whiny attitude, however, not so much. Also, I feel sorry for your boyfriend.

Dear Everybody Else: You lack personality. If it weren't for Toshiko being a girl, I would have a hard time telling you all apart.

Dear F/X People: Ouch. And not in a good way.

Dear Show Writers in General and RTD in Particular: Sorry, no sale.

I haven't even downloaded after the first two. I just... they annoy me. And I really wanted to like it, too.

But they said MARA! And there were sepia-tinted flashbacks!!1

That's what I was thinking - why does Jack make such an awesome sidekick (banana, indeed) but as a lead is dull to the point of catatonia? One of the many deep questions Torchwood makes me ask myself.

I find Jack so physically perfect as to be repulsive. And everyone is just ... eh. And the plots are silly. In short, unless they do an episode with an all-Time Lord kick-line lead by the Master and ended by Romana, I'm probably not likely to try again.

You lasted longer than me: I gave up after the first two episodes!

You can tell the difference by: Tosh is a girl. Owen is a date rapist. Ianto wears a suit. Easy!
