When I was watching the Torchwood pilot last night with my friends and we got to the scene where Owen uses his potion on the girl in the bar and her boyfriend, I was wondering what their reactions would be. Gasps of horror for the date-rape horror of it? Comments on what a bastard Owen is?

Nope. One friend screamed in glee, "Alien aphrodisiac! I want some of that!" and everyone agreed. They laughed in delight when the boyfriend grabbed Owen and kissed him - and these aren't even my slash-fan friends. These are the ones who are straight.

I think I'm collectively proud of them.

well, I actually am not surprised at all.

of course those of us who work with victims of date rape drugs were indeed horrified.

Well, yes, and rightly too.

Do you watch Veronica Mars? The subject - handled seriously - was a theme in season one and a major theme in season three. I'd be interested to hear what you thought about how it was handled there.

I've only seen a few minutes of one Veronica Mars episode so sorry, can't speak to their themes.
