Martha is always an asset (she has a great butt). Seriously, I agree with the author, why can’t the BBC work it out with Freema Agyeman regarding Torchwood? Actually, I’d like to see her back doing Doctor Who as Martha and the Doctor were dynamite together, and they have plenty of unfinished business. Yet I like Freema’s style and not letting the dust settle and waiting for BBC to offer her anything. Freema went out into the world and found herself another gig, you go girl. Freema did a great job as Martha and if the BBC doesn’t appreciate it, then they can obviously see that ITV and Law and Order does appreciate Freema’s great talent.

No, Captain J Sparrow, there doesn’t HAVE to be swearing for it to be an adult show. Perhaps I’m misreading, but it seems from your “face_plain” that you think I’m a bit of an arse.

It just seems to me, in reality when tense, highly charged situations occur, they are often accompanied naturally by some colorful use of language befitting the drama. It’s one of the things that sets TORCHWOOD apart from the other network shows that air here in the US on other than the premium pay channels like Showtime.

All I’m saying is that in season 1, particularly, it was refreshing to see TORCHWOOD and BBCA not shy away from adding that little extra bit of realism and not cave to the puritanical values we’ve come to expect from most American television shows.

Disagree on the Martha Jones, Less Talk and New Team Members bits. It’s only 5 epidodes next season, let’s do a bit more fleshing out of the principals, first please . . . and by fleshing out, I mean SEEING more flesh. Enough with Rhys’ bare butt…twice…how about John’s and/or Gareth’s, preferably in the same scene! AND what happened to all the swearing from season 1?
I ADORE this show but the adult nature does seem to have been turned down to simmer for the second series.
