According to the dubious Which Torchwood Character Are You? quiz at buddytv.com, I am “tough-Welsh-chick-with-a-heart-of-gold” Gwen Cooper (Eve Myles). Of course, it would have been nice to have been Captain Jack Harkness, but I’m not nearly that self-confident.
Here is the breakdown:
You may be extremely ambitious and feisty, but your compassion and ability to relate to people helps keep you grounded. However, your empathetic nature and your desire to believe in the goodness of others can sometimes hinder you when you’re put into dangerous situations. Romance isn’t hard for you to find, but your affairs don’t always end well.
This is as accurate as any horoscope, I suppose. At least I’m not Owen Harper…
Which one are you?

“Feed the world, get all the pussy. (Whatever your version of ‘all the pussy’ is.)”
Sarah Silverman is hot on so many levels.

I haven’t had time to comment on the Torchwood: Children of Earth masterpiece yet, due to the household upheavals I previously alluded to (btw, Mom is doing surprisingly well). I saw the complete miniseries over a week ago — I won’t say how
As you have been hearing, the new Torchwood is dark and adult, with many original shockers well-placed throughout. Captain Jack grows ever more intriguing — we meet his daughter, who looks older than him, and his grandson (with whom he has an — interesting – relationship).
I won’t spoil anything, don’t worry. Find it and watch it, especially if you aren’t familiar with the show or found its first two seasons too juvenile (I am in neither category, btw). I’ve been reading a lot of buzz on the web from new converts to this awesome Doctor Who spin-off; perhaps you’ll become one too.
