Awesome! All you need is a few more posts on fashion and your website will be only 98.7% male…

100% yes, and don’t let anyone tell you differently. You’ll probably be bawling at the Season 2 finale, but then again, it’s pretty heartwrenching.

Still, if your first inclination in the first few episodes is to laugh, you’ve got it right. I mean, come on, an alien that feeds off the male orgasm? ROFL!

So our inclination to laugh out loud at dramatic points was correct?

The appeal of Torchwood is not only delicious John Barrowman being ridiculously Gary Stu-esque (you don’t think so? Just wait…), but the fact that the series is completely on crack. The writers make you believe the Torchwoodverse, but at the same time, you realize this is completely off the wall and lives in the land of WTF. And that’s what makes it sooooo fun to watch, once you realize you can’t take this series seriously.
