Torchwood and other TV shows....

[fajrdrako]

This New York Times article about current TV shows is fun. I went to it for the Torchwood mention - which is a big spoiler if you haven't seen the end of series 2 yet, and most Canadians haven't.

I was amused by their easy acceptance of slash:

HOUSE (Fox, Sept. 16) Will prime time’s most unhealthy, obsessive love affair — the one between Dr. House (Hugh Laurie) and Dr. Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard) — survive the fact that House was instrumental in Wilson’s girlfriend’s death? Early episodes are inconclusive, but we all know that they’ll patch things up somehow.

I don't like the comments on Heroes at all. Sounds like more new characters (faugh) and focus on the old characters I didn't like (Maya). Ah well: gives me an excuse not to watch, when I don't have time anyway. Who am I kidding? Of course I'll watch, initially at least, if only to see how Nathan Petrelli survives - and because I want to see Peter Petrelli again.

I don't think I've ever seen Robert Forster. I certainly hope Christopher Eccleston turns up again - I thought Claude Raines was one of the better characters on the show.

In first season, the writing was very good, and I think it was less violent. In season 2... I lost faith, to a certain extent, while still retaining love of some of the characters. Matt, for example, whom I liked at first, I'd come to hate, and then I liked him again.

I was very disappointed by Elle, the character played by Kirstin Bell, who was formerly Veronica Mars. Beautiful, talented, and wasted on a bimbette role.
