I do agree that it felt notably sci-fi-less. My initial reaction was just "what?! it's just a bunch of humans! what the hell is Torchwood doing there?" However Jack jumping in and kicking everyone's ass was highly enjoyable, you must admit.

Oh yeah it was enjoyable, just sort of deux ex . I have to edit in some Scarface quotes to that scene I think.

well, if you think about it, their job is to investigate possible alien threats...that was a possible alien threat was it not?

It doesn't really matter to me... MI7 said it best when he said he wants science fiction in his sci-fi. I feel the same.

Uh, as I recall it said in the description that this show isn't total Sci-Fi. I thought it was a welcome change from doomsday aliens.

So I guess it's "Crime" as well though Sci-Fi is still the primary genre and the most common thing it's listed under . If I wanted a story like this weeks I would watch The Texas Chainsaw Massacre or The Hills Have Eyes, not Torchwood.

Thank you very much, MI7! See, Ross, it is considered both science fiction and crime drama, which means it should have both and not just one of them!

Over a series, not one programme...when aliens kill, it can't be considered a crime because they're alien.....they don't live by our laws.

He just kept talking in one long incredibly unbroken sentence moving from topic to topic so that no one had a chance to interrupt him it was really quite hypnotic.

You can say that as much as you want. It doesn't make it true.

"Pwned" is the "l33t" form of "owned."
