I have a new suggestion for Gambit - Josh Stewart - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1577637/ No, he's not pretty but he can do Southern and scruffy and is suitably thus that it might put the fangirls off.

Also, have seen photos of James Marsters on Torchwood, and the outfit is far too cavalry officer for it to be any good for my dignity. There will be dolphin noises.

I thought JM's outfit was kinda... clunky, but omg have you seen the preview clip? I don't even watch Torchwood, and I thought I stopped caring about JM, but holy fuck.

I think there's a different Torchwood preview for the North American market, we just get the one with the poodle sex joke.

I'm never sure whether to recommend Torchwood or to tell people to run to the hills. I love it dearly but I am often told that it's lousy.

That's the one I saw. That's the one that's a;lfdjaklsfdj;lafd.

I've often read that it's lousy. From what clips I've seen of it, it looks lousy, but boy howdy, that John Barrowman is HOT. I suddenly understand all the flail that surrounds him.

The US one is about 50000000 x times better. OMG the fight and the laughter and oh dear, I fear this may be the one on when incredibly straight-laced male friend from Scotland and incredibly straight-laced housemate are both here.

Torchwood is maddening, because when it's good, it's one of the best things on TV. Because it's brave. Not in the sex, death and violence department but because the heroes don't win, they cause death, destruction and misery and it doesn't hide that. And they're not particularly nice people but they're real.

Admittedly when it's bad, it's awful, but it's worth it.

Then again I'm one of three people willing to admit to being Torchwood fans in public.

Wonder who the other one is? Hee.

But yes. While I agree (though I may be overly un-critical because there was not an episode I outright hated - though there are a few saved only by having one or two scenes I like), it's difficult. I tend to recommend it anyway though, if pushed in the rec/not rec direction.

nhw on my f-list. ;)

I didn't hate any of them either, but Ghost Machine, Countrycide, Random Shoes and Combat weren't entirely good either. But most of them had moments that were really good or interesting or amusingly insane.
