  • Torchwood

    What? No thread on Torchwwod in the OT? Best ever series ever? (well, the last 5 episode series that is)

    This is the way to tell a story. 5 episodes, one every evening, no side plots. Just one story arch to care about. And no happy ending.

    Well done BBC.

      I will not enjoy this show due to the guttural, gobbledygook brit accent.

            There are loads of different British accents so you're talking bollocks. Though just count yourself lucky they're not all speaking Welsh, seeing as it is based there. We are capable of watching US TV/films with the various mumbling, incoherent accents without complaining.

              New Zealanders are the worst. There is one who teaches in another division of my company, the guy is teaching English when native English speakers can't even understand him. His students bleed over into my classes because he is just a lousy speaker, and thinks of himself as the English god. Another teacher that works for him is Kyrgyzstani, her English *with the Russian accent* is bar far better than his. And even even says mine, which is American, is horrible and incorrect. My students, and even some who are not my students, all say they prefer American English to Brit or other.

                  Bollocks?! You are speaking hogwash sir!

                  The brit guttural accent is intentional, as the incoherent drivel cannot be heard while singing.

                      That's a shame, because with all the man-on-man action and inappropriate abuse of children it was practically tailor-made for you.

                          You got toasted, doc. Just take it like a man.
                          I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891
