Happy TW Anniversary
Oct. 19th, 2007 02:30 pmOkay so I'm a little late, but anyway it's now been officially over a year since I saw my first Torchwood ep. For nostalgic puposes I wandered back to my initial reactions. On the whole my initial judgement (Flawed but fun) is the same as my view now. Main points were:
(1) Fandom being genuinely surprised/shocked/delighted at the twist regarding what had happened to Jack at the end of DW. No-one had suspected a thing.
(2) Although I couldn't remember his name (though for some reason I thought he'd been wearing glasses in one scene), I'd noticed Ianto and already resigned myself to probably rooting for Ianto/Jack before the season finale, and as Eloise pointed out: "He [Ianto] clearly fancies Jack something rotten."
(3) Amidst the squee about characters and the cool soundtrack was also the reaction of hubby of Eloise, namely: "Seriously, pet, this is crap, right?"
Start as you mean to go on. Some love it, some are indifferent, some hate it with a passion. Typical TV show then :)
