h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Now I looked at this, and thought 'Meh' mainly because I dont like Captain Jack, but I though "You know Mark, you should give this a go" and so I did.

What in goblins name???

Its worse then Robin Hood, and thats saying something!

For a start, whats with the standing on buildings that have nothing to do with the plot? In the first episode he stands on two, random buildings with big long shots showing off cardiff. Now if I was Welsh and those buildings were my cultural landmarks (i.e. in Doctor who we see Big ben et al) then sure great, but I dont have a clue what they were so it just looked like he was a bit of a loonie who'd wandered off one day and ended up at the top of a building.

Okay and the Welsh police woman... great how she abandons her post to run about disobeying orders.

Also, why do they spend a good three minutes explaining how the lift works? Whats the bloody point? Cpt Jack could easily say 'look, it works, just go with it okay'.

Is it just me, or does it look like the welsh womans husband is going to die by episode four? He's just got that air of doom about him.

Also, why is the guy.. er.. you know the one who isnt cpt jack. Yeh why does he have a massive massive mouth?.

Plus the whole killing a character off in the first episode would have really worked and been a really good plot piece.. except I didnt give two monkeys about her that died - by the end I was urging for someone to shoot her and cheered when Jack got a bullet although it was sadly short lived.

Right and this thing with the 'I cant die'. WHAT? No, theres rules there has to be rules. Is it highlander rules (dont lose you heart) or vampire rules (no sticks in the heart) but plain invulnerability? Nah thats just silly, and renders watching the rest of the show pretty useless because the whole torchwood group could get slaughtered and he'd still be standing.



Anyway I'm feeling depressed so I'm off to lye in bed.

Thank for that, I thought I was the only one who thought it was cr@p

Gwen's boyfriend will end up as Torchwood's Mickey.

The Instant Sexual Attraction spray is wrong on so many levels "Date Rape Drugs in a perfume bottle"

The ing and blinding was so forced that they may have well as waved a banner saying "We're Post Watershed and we want everyone to know it and want to get complaints to boost our ratings"

I hope to God the UST between Jack and Gwen was the result of bad acting and it's not going to be a regular thing to appease the American audience

Pah! *yawns* Torchwood more like predictablespinoffwood, Even God (who came out of his room to watch said "Pah" and by the way he's looking more Arthur Dent'ish of late, He's up to something)

RJR

Bloody hell Reef you must have really hated it too post here! :D

I dont think hes going to end up like Mickey mainly because Mickeys alive and doing stuff, and he was never really with Rose. Gwens married to 'the fella' so the only way of getting rid of him is killing him off around half way and having her fall into captain jacks lap... dont see that one coming a mile away...

I never thought of the spray thing like that... I have to admit though I was tickled by the fact that he does take a fella home as well which I thought was quite brave considering that the younger viewers are so going to watch this.

I was more annoyed at the fact that it seemed as though every minority was being appeased in a token way that took something away from the show then the swearing. At least that made them have reasonable conversations for twenty somethings in a pub (although I agree the swearing was forced... actually a lot of the dialogue was forced)

I'm not going to bother with the rest

now I will admit that i liked Dr Who...
but that was absolute trash
I think even I could write something better than that and thats saying something....

I dont think I'll bother watching again in the fear that it could get any worse,

I did see enough of the second episode to smile and nod and go 'well, this maybe a cack show, but it certainly knows how to kill people'
