Themes and Things in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

[crabby_lioness]

Here's a few more thoughts on KKBB:

1)The theme of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang revolves around coming home but does not address homecoming in a straightforward manner.  Jack is back "home" at Torchwood Cardiff.  But what does "home" mean?

"Home is where you hang your hat."  Jack's hat is on his hatstand in his office.

"Home is where they have to welcome you

It's hard enough to get any press for a show like BSG, never mind a sci fi show that is foreign to the US.

Not exactly. In the past three days, Torchwood has had raving writeups in the LA Times http://www.calendarlive.com/tv/cl-ca-tvbigthing20jan20,0,5919917.story?coll=cl-tv-features and the New York Times http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/20/arts/20weekahead.html?_r=2&oref=slogin&oref=slogin I've been keeping track of the US press reviews on OG http://www.doctorwhoforum.com/showthread.php?t=147343 I haven't updated the tally since New Years Eve, but at that time it was:

Positive reviews - 70
Negative reviews - 2
Top 10 Best New Shows of Year Lists - 6

There's been several more positive reviews come in since then.

And then there's the US blog review thread http://www.doctorwhoforum.com/showthread.php?t=148090 where the positive/negative review ratio is about the same.

TV Guide has a two page interview with james Marsters that features a large photo of him as Capt. John and focuses on Torchwood mostly. They usually highlight Torchwood in the extended show descriptions and reviews of up coming shows.
