Today's Meme: Jes' How Suthun Are Yew, Sugah?

Just finally got my first look at Torchwood

Happened to turn on BBC America tonight and saw my first two episodes of Torchwood, the new Doctor Who spinoff series starring John Barrowman, reprising his Captain Jack Harkness character from the latter series' first two "new" seasons and leading what appears to be Her Majesty's equivalent of the Men in Black.

Both eps I watched tonight seemed to have more to do with the supernatural than with science-fiction themes, although elements of the latter were present. And curiously enough, though I don't think it was intentional on the schedulers' part (I could be wrong, of course), both episodes dealt with life and death...and life after death, of one sort or another. (More info on both episodes can be had at BBC-A's official Torchwood site.)

( Cut so as to avoid even the appearance of spoilers. )

I'm looking forward even more now to finally cracking open the set of Season 1 eps that autographedcat burned to DVD for me and singing_phoenix (which she did indeed get a copy of when she visited here from Nairobi last month, before you ask).
