I've only heard of him because he wrote the forward to my all-time favourite non-fiction book (the Science of Dr Who) but he sounds amazing. Thought this was fitting... Let children walk with Nature, let them see the beautiful blendings and communions of death and life, their joyous inseparable unity, as taught in woods and meadows, plains and mountains and streams of our blessed star, and they will learn that death is stingless indeed, and as beautiful as life. By John Muir

Storylines: most are good. Concepts: some are good, others need some work (such as Owen not being able to breathe). Characters: sometimes are good, but seem a little...indecisive. They all seem to have multiple-personality disorders. They get on my nerves cuz they're all so grumpy and they're not a proper team. Relationships: the fact that they all fancy each other is annoying and stupid. Humour: please decide before an episode if it is going to funny or not. They seem to change their mind and it's stupid because it comes out as just looking tacky and as thought they weren't very well thought through. Monsters/villains: not bad. Most are plausible sci-fi creations. Fear factor: good and high. Goryness: blood and guts everywhere *twisted smile* How big and important it feels/morals: not very, to be quite honest. And it has pretty much zero morals. Now to compare it to Dr Who. I will do the Sarah-Jane Adventures in a minute too. Storylines: good. You can get caught up in them very easily and most are plausible. One or two have a bit of a loophole. Concepts: great. In Utopia/Sound of Drums/Last of the Time Lords, the Characters: ace. The Doctor especially is a fantasic character; you can see how his experiences made him the way he is, and at the same time he is very alien. Pretty much all "major" supporting characters seem to be well-rounded folk. You think "why the did he do that?" Relationships: The Dr/Rose one was well done, and I quite liked the Dr/Martha one (it was spot-on that she left when and how she did - it fits in with her character), though it would be nice to meet a female character that doesn't fancy the Dr. Humour: love it! Loadsa jokes, loadsa laughing at the Dr being a prune (idiot). Relieves the tension a little sometimes. Monsters/villains: awesome! gruesome, evil, slimy, misunderstood, weird beasts they all are! Fear factor: some are really scary, such as Blink, some are...involving, but not exactly scary. Goryness: a little a not that bad. Just enough to make you go "EEWWW!!" How big/important it feels/morals: feels VERY big. Everything is city-wide, or planet-wide, even 2 whole universes-wide in the case of the parellel universe episodes. And, finally, to finally confirm the notion that I have no life, here is the Sarah Jane Adventures. Storylines: most are great...can't really think of one that didn't quite work Concepts: that ethereal ghost-like woman was amazing. I liked "Whatever Happened To Sarah Jane" because of the paradox element. That switching off the sun thing, and getting all the energy from everywhere around, was fun but shaky at best. Characters: very stereotyped for the most part, but not bad. Sarah Jane seems quite good. Some of the acting from the supporting cast is diabolical, but the main 4 (Sarah, Maria, Luke and Clyde) are good. Luke has one or two shaky moments, but it just seems to fit in with his character. (although Maria's actress is 16 and Clyde's 22, so you'd expect them to be good lol) Relationships: they're a good team. I like how all of them are just normal people. Humour: just the right amount for how they put it across. It's not a comedy, but has many little one-liners that make you smile if not actually laugh. Monsters/villians: great. Though I was a little disappointed with the over-use of the Slitheen, however clever it was. Perhaps they should have had them further apart, like in consecutive series Fear factor: not scary so much as exciting - though it did scare my mum But she's just a wimp Goryness: zero. though that bane was pretty manky How big/important it feels/morals: big, but in a different way. Can't really explain it. Wasn't keen on the one where the meteor was crashing down to earth; I think it could have done with being a bit longer and having a bit more backstory. Chock-a-block with morals, but they're not shoved in your face. Verdict: Torchwood - 8/10. Exciting, gory and sometimes disturbing, but I wouldn't be particularly upset if I missed one, or they stopped making it TBH. Dr Who - 10/10. Funny, exciting, thrilling, invigorating...would die if they stopped making it, and if there was a chance I'd miss one I'd find a way to see it. Sarah Jane Adventures - 9/10. Not quite as good as Dr Who, but I wouldn't like to miss an episode and would miss it if it was axed. Does anybody know where I can find a life, cut-price?

heehee that was my sister - don't blame me! lol:friends0: I don't actually remember the ending now...odd, because I remember pretty well what I've read...well, I had it on my list of re-reads anyway, so perhaps it's better I don't remember XD
