Yes, I love thinking about the things that make me love one show and not love another. It's quirky. Granted, I fell in love with Captain Jack Harkness, and the appeal of that character on many levels has a lot to do with it - his style, his voice, his witty lines, his story. But it isn't just that.
I will tolerate things in Torchwood (and enjoy them) that would make me turn off another show.
I am certainly enjoying Heroes and Battlestar Galactica, both well written (on the whole) but don't feel the same passion to watch episodes more than once, or write about the characters, or to think, talk and anlyze them till any sane person would be overdosed.
So while there are things about Torchwood that I don't like - Abaddon, for example - and the way so many stories only occur because of criminal acts or absurd stupidity on the part of one of the Torchwood team - somehow this doesn't even affect my general delight in the show. My total lack of boredom. You'd think after almost a year of obsessing I'd be a little more casual about it, wouldn't you? But no.
It's similiar with my love of Doctor Who, though I don't love Ten as I loved Nine, and "The Last of the Time Lords" shook my faith to the core. (In an interesting sort of way.)
