Guest guest Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 I must disagree with that. Angel was in loads of episodes of Buffy - a major part of the story. Captain Jack was in only a couple of episodes of Doctor Who, and introduced solely to introduce the new series.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Hi Peter / Peter I just watched Sunday's episode of Torchwood. I thought it was excellent - a bit scary and quite emotional. It would be good to think the rest of the episodes would follow in the same way. Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Hi Peter Ah - an adult drama, in the proper sense. It showed emotions, which was good. It showed a different side to Captain Jack, which was good. The evil faires were good - done well. I wonder where the idea came from that fairies would be all sweet.
