Anyone seen this weeks "Torchwood" yet on Freeview?

Question

What did you make of it, what next a threesome or maybe even a foursome between the leading characters, this show is absurd, talk about sexual innuendo and who actually pays them their wages(I mean the characters), if they are higher than the goverment, who pays them and who pays for all the hi tech non alien technology, yes its sci-fi but it should be abit more realistic and consistent. I'd wanna be paid a hell of a lot to risk my life fighting aliens and suchlike, you can't tell me they are supposed to be working for nothing.

Answer 1

You are talking about Science Fiction. If you remember back to Dr Who, it was good old Queen Victoria that set up Torchwood so I suppose it is the Country that pays their wages.

I agree that in places the show is absurd and as for the sexual content, well, if you were chasing a bunch of nutters you would not even have time to think about it never mind do it!

Answer 2

as with lots of sci-fi stuff, you just have to go with it, and learn to not constantly pick holes in the plot, as by it's nature, it's all made-up. What makes it difficult it that it purports to exist in the world we know, so sometimes this is a problem. Unlike something like Red Dwarf, Star Wars etc, where it's set in the future of in a different world etc.
I guess you're meant to think the money comes from some secret slush fund. the fact that they can drive up to a scene of crime and shout 'Torchwood' to the police who then let them through, must surely mean they're not that secret? Or maybe they have an elaborate cover story, and that's who they get paid. ie, Torchwood is a government research lab. And yes, the show is absurd, but it is meant to be fun. It's well made fun in my opinion, but not to be taken seriously!
