Doctor Who and Torchwood

I started to download all of this season’s Doctor Who episodes from Bit torrent and just finished the season. They have all the BBC broadcasts up there. The last half of this season was amazing, starting with Human Nature. That aired on the Sci Fi channel Friday. They bring back a major Who villain for the final three episodes. I won’t say who, but they got Derek (I Claudius, Underworld: Evolution) Jacobi in one of the episodes, which was a coup. I’ve gotta say, this new Who series has been excellent. It’s uneven sometimes, like the two part Daleks in Manhattan this season. But when they have their best writers on an episode, it can be amazing. Check out Blink in a couple of weeks on Sci Fi. Really great stuff.

So now I’ve been downloading Torchwood episodes. That’s the spin off show that has Captain Jack Harkness, the bisexual immortal con man from the future who runs a Welsh version of the X-Files. It seems pretty good so far. They apparently do more cross overs with Who next season when Martha Jones is in 5 episodes.

Here’s the first part of the Sarah Jane Adventures show starring Elizabeth Sladen. This is a spin off of Doctor Who as well. Sarah Jane has been consistently voted the most popular of the Doctor’s companions. I have to say, she has held up remarkably well considering she was on Doctor Who in the mid 1970s.
