... amusingly, I've heard a lot of defences of Owen, all of which were along the lines of, "Well, the writers didn't mean for Owen to be a rapist, so he isn't."
*shudders* "Torchwood" troubles me greatly, acting as though its banality, shallowness and self-obsession are all attributes to be proud of. Presenting these appalling, unprofessional, squabbling idiots as heroes to impress us. Dismissing a fascinating mythology established by "The Unquiet Dead" and "Tooth And Claw" in favour of who's shagging who behind whose back. The cast of "The Sarah Jane Smith Adventures" can be trusted to protect the Earth. Torchwood can't be trusted to run a gas station without getting in a fight.
