Um

Was about to bedulate when random thought crashlanded out of nowhere.

Is there any particular reason why Captain John couldn't be William 'the Bloody's father?

Just wondered...

Break out the bunting!

AfterElton.com have done a list of their top Ten Best Gay and Bisexual Science Fiction Characters. Male characters were rated on scales of character fascination, significance, and originality. Apparently things like popularity and aesthetic appeal weren't factors. Of course I'm chuffed to see both Ianto and Jack in the list, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Dr. Frank-N-Furter and Andrew Wells. Yay for Torchwood. They also summed up one of the main reasons I do adore my show:

Jack and some of the other characters in the series represent an almost “post-gay” approach to sexual themes, in which sexual identity is represented as fluid and complicated, and, more importantly, as not a big deal. It simply is what it is.

Seems like a reasonable premise to me :)
