Here's The Thing About Torchwood


Over the weekend I was watching Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares, because hey that's what I do on the weekends. After the show was over I couldn't find the remote control and so therefore was forced to watch the next show on which was Graham Norton. Funny as hell. Jon Bon Jovi looked stiff, but it was good. Still unable to get up, Torchwood came on and I started watching it. I only watched the first 15 minutes or so because my fat ass found the remote control for me and the tv turned off. I didn't have the energy to stand up and dig it out of wherever my obesity had pushed it, so there it lay.

I had never seen the show and I have to tell you I am not a sci-fi guy. I watched all of the X-Files episodes, but not until after the film came out. And I didn't watch any of the Robert Patrick ones because it just felt like cheating. So this Torchwood show was about some 1918 time rift that was allowing people to enter the present and I watched up to the point where some 1918 dude was about to get it on with a woman from the present. What is with the BBC and these time traveler shows? Isn't there one where the guy is a cop in the 1970's and is actually from the present? Anyway, later in the weekend when my ass hit the on switch again, (Thanks to Depends and a mini-fridge/microwave combo I don't get up much.) I decided to TiVo the episodes of Torchwood. Later however, I saw an ad for it and the stars appeared to be having some time of gun battle with aliens which I would not be interested in seeing. Is Torchwood X-Files like or is going to be gun battles with creatures? I need to know before my ass sits down in the chair this weekend.

Oh, by the way that new show BBC is going to run called Last Kitchen Standing looks kick ass and can't wait to see it and for the sanitized for your protection American Version with Rachael Ray as host. Actually, if she was hosting it, it would suck, but I know there will be an American version because it looks really good and if there is one thing Americans are good at it, it is stealing British reality television. Oh, and we also make good recliners.
