Barrowman and a birthday...

[fajrdrako]

This evening I took my friend Donna out to Sushi Kan for her birthday, and then we went back to my place and I showed her the last episode of Torchwood which she hadn't seen, "End of Days", and then we both watched the first episode, "Everything Changes" on regular TV because it is at last being shown on the CBC.

It was wonderful.

A nice ending to a stressful day.

I watched that episode (my first of Torchwood) last night. I must say, John Barrowman is handsome, and playing a character who is rather unsufferably arrogant [g]. I kept expecting his teeth to gleam a la Tony Curtis in The Great Race when he smiled.

The show itself was interesting, and reminded me sort of of Men in Black in premise (Brit version, sans wisecracking). Is that really the case, or am I jumping to conclusions too soon?

At any rate, it was interesting, and I intend to watch again next week.

Yes, Barrowman is handsome, though in a style I don't usually particularly like - but since I like him, and his role, he looks just fine to me. Arrogant? Definitely - but not always so, and never insufferable! (Mind you, I tend to like arrogance, so it wouldn't be a detriment to me anyway.)

Yes, it would be fair to call Torchwood a sort of British Men in Black. Throw in bits of Buffy, X-Files and even Batman.

Hope you continue to enjoy it.

Did they actually cut the Owen/dude outside the bar Kiss?

My mom said they did, and she was absolutly flabbergasted.

You know, I realize now they did, and I didn't even notice. I've watched that episode so often I just imagined it was still there. But it wasn't. A zillion ads, instead.

Grump.

I'm more upset about the 'estrogen' speech, though.

She was righteous about it, not because she's a slasher, but because she pointed out how much that establishes in his character.

Proves the point that he'll do anything it takes to get something he wants.

Bless my mom for calling me specifically to tell me that, and then ranting for a good ten minutes on her fear of them cutting out other things.

Well, it's most objectionable, because it isn't as if there weren't other bits that could have gone and been much less missed. There are numerous reasons that does a disservice to Owen - it's a fairly important introductory scene, for him. Without it, he looks less conniving, and more straight. Both notions would be misleading!
