Patents on human genes are an abomination of the law, yet have continued for years... until now!

It's the little things about Tom Baker that get to me. Every so often he he seems to treat his companions as if he's their pimp, with a sort of "why do you defy me, woman?!?!" kind of vibe. All of the old doctors are demeaning in their own way, but it's the sort of out-of-left-field twinge of anger that bugs me. Still, gotta love me that Leisure Hive.

I appreciate Doctor Who for its campiness and open geekiness, but I like Torchwood for being a fast-paced, tightly written, hard-hitting (consequence-ful if that were a word) show regardless of the sci-fi content. I think it comes down to a per-episode eye-rolling count that the Doctor holds by a substantial margin.

Wrapping it together, I hope to see more of the Face Of Bo.

Put me in the category of having a preference towards Torchwood over Who. I love them both, but I find Torchwood far more engaging. I guess I like my heroes to behave badly ^_^

I'm with you on Torchwood. Especially season two, and then most especially Children of Earth.
