What did the BBC think they were up to by showing porn?

Ben Dawson · #3 October 26, 2006, 3:55 PM

THAT...wasn't porn...BELIEVE me.

Ross Hendrie · #4 October 26, 2006, 4:55 PM

It wasn't quite porn. I'll admit it was a cit of a cheap way to shove a tonne of sex into the show but apart from that it was a fabulous ep. And Rogue, that's why it's on BB3 id imagine.

Yeah, good episode, better than episode 1. And woah... that girl on girl action. Yeah, was pretty good; the episode I mean.

Danny Stewart · #5 October 26, 2006, 6:41 PM

Yeah, it was a bit unnecessarily graphic at points but I think it was still a good episode. I did enjoy the first one more though.

Ben Dawson · #6 October 27, 2006, 3:17 AM

well, third ep is coming soon, it looks really good from what I've seen.

Danny Stewart · #7 October 27, 2006, 12:00 PM

Indeed so. I await it eagerly!

Should be a 6/10 but I gave it 9 simply for the "action".

Danny Stewart · #9 October 27, 2006, 7:36 PM

LOL. Nice review.

Ross Hendrie · #10 October 28, 2006, 7:23 AM

Some people seem to have rather negative opinions.

Jez · #11 October 28, 2006, 4:08 PM

It beats Robin Hood - that's good enough for me. Besides, it's actually something to stand up against the likes of Lost, House and CSI. Finally something British that is in the same league (and that isn't a crappy comedy or aimed at family viewing)!

The only problem that I had with this ep was that they n00bed around for too long. I want action! Blood! Gore! Violence!!

Danny Stewart · #12 October 28, 2006, 11:00 PM

It's a premiere... cut it some slack.

Ross Hendrie · #13 October 29, 2006, 11:02 AM

Yeah, 'Rose' sucked in Dr. Who.

Bajoran Rogue · #14 October 29, 2006, 12:41 PM

We just need to be thankful that there was none of another kind of "sucking" going on.

... Moving on...

I thought Torchwood was good but it didn't quite live up to it's parent series (spin-offs rarely ever do I suppose) but it's still something to look forward to on a Sunday evening before the dismal prospect of going to school the next day. I thought the first episode was better than the second (although some people seem to really enjoy the second one... I wonder why...) but the third one looks set to cap them both. Eagerly anticipating 10 O' Clock to come...

Ben Dawson · #16 October 29, 2006, 5:15 PM

here it is.

I can so sympathise there, bro. Same here.

I'd like to point out to such enthusiastic folk as Ross and Ben (and such unenthusiastic folk as Rogue and Ronn) that the 10 and 1 ratings respectively are reserved for episodes that are truly exceptional or truly dismal. You probably shouldn't have more than one 10 per season (and certainly not two in a row), and I hope the show's not deserving of that many 1s either.

Ross Hendrie · #19 October 30, 2006, 4:59 PM

Well people obviously feel strongly about this episode.

Ben Dawson · #20 October 30, 2006, 4:59 PM

but they're so good.................................in my opinion
