[OT] Torchwood

Yeah I've seen him on Heros, but haven't watched the episodes properly
as yet.

As lifelong fan of Dr Who, I've been very much enjoying the new Dr Who
series of hour long episodes. I thought Christopher Eccleston was a great
choice for the first season, added some anger and pathos to the Dr and
brought him into modern times, but I must admit I liek David Tennant's
Doctor more. He is definately shagalicious.

I was sceptical about Torchwood. Spin-offs are rarely as good as their
parent show, and this was messing with an icon, the very foundation show of
TV Sci-Fi.

However, I was not disspointed, its awesome! And Captain Jack Harkness.
*Fwoar*. I'd trample over David Tennant to get to him :-)

Excuse me while I die from envy. We US Dr Who fans haven't gotten to
see Torchwood yet. And after we've been so generous with our
programs ;o) I have seen Capt. Jack and yes he is Da Bomb. Have you
seen Heroes (sp? gah!) yet? Eccelston has a reoccuring role as the
invisible man. He's waaaaaaaay sexier than Tennant.

You've met him and said hello! I'd be too shy to have a chat. Is he
American or British?

Good to hear that they're showing or have shown the 3rd season of Dr
Who. I'm not sure when it will start here, but it'll probably another
6 months I expect.

I didn't know who he was when Bonnie ran up and nicked his dogs stick!
He was lovely. He has a Scottish accent at home and speaks in a
Scottish accent to his parents, and an American on when he's is the
USA, apparently. I really have no idea what he sounds like. I was too
busy drooling and jibbering when I worked out who it was to pay much
attention! Now he always says hello to Bonnie when he sees her, which
to be fair isn't often. He has dual UK & USA nationality.

David Tennant was the one who freaked me out the most - he has *THE*
strongest Scottish accent in real life!

What's weird here in the US is the guy who plays "House", Hugh Lowery, has
a British accent in real life but absolutely *nails* the American accent
on the show!

I was very impressed when Meryl Streep in A Cry in the Dark / Evil Angels
when she got the Australian accent *perfectly*.

There is nothing more grating to Australian ears than an American trying to
do an Australian accent. It just *hurts*. It was only after I'd seen the
movie on TV did I realise that she wasn't an Aussie herself.
