Seriouslysirius
Hi there. I know that my last Torchwood thread i didn't get premission but this time i do have premission. I have asked Tuitus and i was granted premission. If i have done this wrong i'm sorry to all the modestrators and i won't be offended if it's closed down. But like i say i have premission!
Right to bussiness.
Torchwood for thosse of you who don't know is about. A group of people in Cardiff tracking down alien technology to help fight aganist. Both human and Alien threats. It is British but have you seen it anyway. Tell me what your favourite episodes are. And chat about the latest episode in the series. And ecspically favourite characters and monsters.
Also why not take this quiz, even if you don't watch Torchwood to see who you are in the team. They are Captain Jack ( the leader), Gwen Cooper, Owen Harper, Toshiko/ Tosh or Ianto Jones. Just answer thesse questions and i'll get back to you. You don't have to do the quiz!
1. Describe your personality in three words.
2. Do you like to be secretive?
3. Do you prefer sports or computer gadgets.
4. What to you in a crisis?
5. How would you go about solving a crime?

Bye for now.
seriouslysirius smile.gif

This is fine, no worries.
Golden Phoenix
Wow, I finally got a chance to watch it! It is really really good. I have missed every episode before this one... well, actually the first couple I said I didn't want to watch them because I thought it would be boring.. and I said the same thing when the first episode of Doctor Who was on TV and now I love it, you'd think I might have learnt my lesson. Anyway... wow! That was just so good! I can't say what my favourite episode is because I've only seen this one. But it was really good, as if I didn't say that already. laugh.gif
Seriouslysirius
If it was the 5th one called Small Worlds then i'm going to watch it today and i'll give you my verdict on it then.
And it's good to see you learnt your lesson Golden Phomiex. laugh.gif
Golden Phoenix
Umm.. not sure what it was called, but probably. It was the one that was on BBC Three last night. Anyway, I forgot to do the quiz before so here goes...

1. Describe your personality in three words.
Quiet, Friendly, Intelligent (yeah, I'm really modest, I know)
2. Do you like to be secretive?

Indeedy... actually, not really. About some things, yeah.
3. Do you prefer sports or computer gadgets.

Erm... Really neither but I guess I'll choose sport.
4. What do you do in a crisis?

Get really panicked which usually doesn't help but I can't help it.
5. How would you go about solving a crime?

Not sure... look for clues and piece them together?

Edit: Yeah, just checked, "Small Worlds" was the one I saw. It's good!

Oh wow, I found the Torchwood section on the BBC website so I'm watching all the clips of the first four episodes. It's really good! How many times have I said that now? laugh.gif
Seriouslysirius
Hi, Golden Phoniex i've just seen Small Worlds. It crepped me out. It was really kind of unfair that somemany people died. The fairys are creepy. And if you want to know the next ones called Countrycide, which i'm sure is equally scary.
As for who you are i'd say you where Gwen. Please don't been offended if your Male but your attidude to solving a crime really fits Gwen's.

Just checked your names Katie so i guess your not offended about being Gwen. Ia lso here you like the name Daniel, what a coincedence.
Golden Phoenix
Haha, cooliness. Except I'm not really sure who's who. I'll have to go back on the website to find out. And yeah, it was a bit scary actually. This little girl reminded me of my sister... Seriously, she had the same clothes as her. The school uniform and the white dress she wore at the party are clothes my sister has. Scary! I didn't like the idea of rose petals coming from their mouths. It was really horrible... Anyway, i'm definitely going to watch the next one. It looks really good. And scary.
lavender brown
omg i love torchwood too, i think i replied to your last discussion before it was closed.

anyway my favourite episode was probably the first one it was really mysterious and i like mysteries.

so your quiz

1. i hate this question ok: shy, intelligent, caring
2. um yes i think i do, it makes me feel special
3. sport i think but im not a fanatic
4. well i havent really been in a major crisis before, but i would try and remain calm however i would probably panic lol
5. watch csi lol!! well i would talk to witnesses, collect evidence and then take the gulity person to court and have them locked up smile.gif

im going to watch small worlds on wednesday because there is nothing better on tv so i will comment then smile.gif
Seriouslysirius
Hi Lavender Brown. Your'e answer as to who you are is Toshiko Sato. You like her are inteligent yet abit shy. She has a caring side to her as well, though she does question orders some times. Do you? ( Just intrested.)
She is the same. The way you solve your crimes sounds like Tosh would do but she'd only do it on orders.
lavender brown
yeah your totally right actually, i think she is my favourite character (except captain jack of course lol)

yeah i do question order sometimes, well not orders but authority and i do what i think is right not just what someone tells me if i think it is wrong smile.gif

comment about small worlds on wednesday
Seriouslysirius
Hi again and i like her to. I like the fact she argues with Jack. And i like computer freaks to. So that's partliy why i like her aswell. And good comment all you like. I need as many people to come on. I think this threads doing great so i want it to carry on.

Seriouslysirius
Now i've decided to rate monsters and you can to the same to.

Weevil - Freaky

The sex Gas - Mildly scary

Err there wasn't any monsters in episode 3. laugh.gif

Cyberwoman - I'm out of the room scary. blink.gif


Fairy things - Petrifiying

Hunters / My god petrifiying beyond mesaure

Mary the Alien - Not really scary only when she pullls out the heart.

Suzie Back again - AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Alien Eye - Not scary at all.

The scariest thing in that was the romance

Weevils in the fight club so very scary..

Bilis - So very Creepy

Abbadon - Gulp very scary thing coming my way...

Make as many names of scary you can think of. Just a bit of fun.I know i've got loads for you to do. Be speaking again.

seriouslysirius

Hi this another thing i have found out about Torchwood. All the episodes of that have not been on yet are here! theres also a description for each one. Know remember that this might not be totally reliable.

6. Countrycide - Upon entering an apparently deserted village in the Brecon Becons, the Torchwood team is separated. Finding his people are the prey in a savage game of cat and mouse Jack faces a team of ruthless hunters far more skilled in surviving outside the confines of the city than he.

7. Greeks Bearing Gifts - Tosh gains the ability to read the minds of those closest to her but as she becomes party to their darkest secrets, she realises not only is this is a powerful curse, but one impossible to break.

8. They Keep Killing - Using alien technology to interrogate the victims of a serial killer, Gwen learns that the common link is dangerously close to home. And the resurrection device has a deadly secret of its own

9. Random Shoes - A hit-and-run victim, Eugene, was a bit of a nobody, and always convinced that aliens were coming to Earth, specifically to retrieve technology in his possession. Now Gwen finds herself drawn into his world and realises Eugene may still be helping her locate the 'aliens' - despite him being dead.

10. Out Of Time - A small passenger plane from the 1950's flies through the rift and lands in Cardiff 2006. Torchwood is drawn into strong personal relationships as they help the three temporal immigrants adapt to contemporary life.

11. Combat - Weevils - aliens who have come through the Rift - are being abducted by humans; Owen faces a dark trial in the course of investigating.

12. Captain Jack Harkness - Transported back to the Blitz, Jack and Tosh find themselves facing a dark secret from Jack's past, one he hoped and believed had been buried for good.

13. End of Days - The Rift is violently fracturing further, and Jack realises that Torchwood is destined to be drawn into one vast battle that will leave nothing and no one at Torchwood unchanged...
That's them what do you think?
lavender brown
Im not going to read your episode guides, but well done on finding them, OMG its torchwood tonight woo!!

Well looking at you description seriouslysirius I would say that you are Owen, because he is quite secretive but not overly so like Ianto. Im very glad to hear you carent storing cybermen in your house because that episode was scary.

Will post tomorrow once I have watched torchwood yay tongue.gif
Seriouslysirius
Thanks, i wanted to be Owen he's my favourite character. He's probably the funniest as well and that's why i like him. He has that sense of a funny relaxed person but in Episode 3 he really shows the fearful side of him.
It's always kind of creepy when, the character you thought you knew changes.
Sabrina_Rose_Snape
Cool Torchwood...to be honest I haven't watched it yet! I was in another conutry when it began so I'm going to borrow my cousin's tapes so I can wacth it lol Daniel can I borrow your tapes? or shold I say Seriouslysirus! lol

I'll do the quiz thing now cousin...
Seriouslysirius
Yeah i know you where but you know and i know you wont have an idea who you will be when i answer the quiz but you'll know when you watch it.
Sabrina_Rose_Snape
Why do I have to this quiz?? You know me anyway Daniel, or Seriouslysirius lol laugh.gif well...

1. Describe your personality in three words.
Moody, quiet, evil (lol, nah not really) erm...

2. Do you like to be secretive?
Yes, you know I do Dan...

3. Do you prefer sports or computer gadgets.
Computer gadgets, duh...lol...

4. What to you in a crisis?
Probaly just stare...then get help...

5. How would you go about solving a crime?
Find the clues first then the cluprit...
Seriouslysirius
Hey now don't get annoyed but your pesonality as i all ready know is like Ianto. He's a boy. laugh.gif But that's what he is quite like. I suppose you have at touch of Gwen in you to. Confused you won't be once you've watched it.
Sabrina_Rose_Snape
lol cousin, thanks for answerin so quickly I'll be phoning you now Dan, hear from you very soon...
And I'll see you tomorrow...
And Friday lol
Seriouslysirius
It's great to see you're all eager to talk about Torchwood but have you got any suggestions of what we should do for this torchwood thread. smile.gif
Well i.ve been thinking and i have thought has anyone got clothes simaliar/ the same as the Torchwood team. I have got a leather jacket similair to Captain Jacks.
lavender brown
ok so i saw torchwood last night and it was again really good, but i thought it was sad at the end when they decided they all hated jack for letting the girl go with the faries.

i liked the random plot line because it kind of related to jacks life previously which was really sad, however the flowers thing really creeped me out lol!! tongue.gif
Seriouslysirius
Yeah you're right that was sad. But i'm sure they will forgive him after all, there was no other choice. I thought it was sad that Estel died. Yes the flower thing was like, blood after all that's what it thought it was at first. As i say Countrycide looks good, i just want to see some more monsters. laugh.gif
By the way has any one been to Cardiff. I've been several times and have probably stood where the team have stood.

Edit: Hi guys where have you been? Any way i'm going to see Torchwood 6 now and i'll tell you what i think of it.
Happy Posting

seriouslysirius

Okay i've seen it. it's fantastic tell me all about it when you've seen it. Trust me it's the best so far.
Golden Phoenix
Yeah, I agree, that episode was just the best... Even though I have only seen two of them. Countrycide was really good though. But, seriously, it was majorly sick... I mean, who thought up this storyline because whoever it was is a sick sick person. Don't you think? I mean, urgh. I'm actually feeling sick. But it was good for horror factor, I nearly screamed a couple of times (bad idea when everyone else in the house is sleeping) and I don't usually scream at scary stuff... that episode was just the scariest thing ever. Okay... I'll stop talking now. shutup.gif Oh yeah, the next episode looks pretty good too, right?
Seriouslysirius
Yes they must have had a strong stomach. Mind you it was entertaining all the same.
Owen and Gwen, are probably a perfect match. Don't you agree.
The next episode is called Greeks Bearing Gifts. Where Tosh has an object which can read other peoples minds and that. And did anybody see the trailer when the Weevil jumped up? smile.gif

Okay, found it. Erm... only seen episodes 5 and 6 so...

Fairy umm... things: Pretty nice looking when they were small and white... but really freaky when they were being evil and killing people. And the rose metals thing was just horrible. And the sound they made... just every time you heard it was so scary. Scariest bit: Jacks flashback of all his troops (that the right word?) dead with petals in their mouths.

Hunters or whatever they were: Very very very disturbing. I'm surprised I didn't have nightmares after watching it. They were just so... (what's a good word?) sickening... okay, so, not a good word but you know what I mean. Urgh... Scariest bit: The bloody corpses were disgusting; and when the guy jumped out on Ianto, that made me jump; or near the end when the hunter guy whispers to Gwen, "Because it made me happy," I mean how horrible is that. Oh yes, eating human flesh makes me really happy. Yuck!
QUOTE
7. Greeks Bearing Gifts - Tosh gains the ability to read the minds of those closest to her but as she becomes party to their darkest secrets, she realises not only is this is a powerful curse, but one impossible to break.


That episode looks really good as well, they all do! They seem to get scarier each episode, do you think this will be more scary?


lavender brown
ok so iwatch torchwood last night, and omg it was scary.

definatley the most scary so far, but it definatley one of the best but the cannibal people really freaked me out.

gwen and owen are so made for each other lol, but i think jack is jealous so i think that could be an interesting subplot to the story especially near the end.

do you guys know whether gwen is still with her boyfriend? or is she cheating on him?

anyway cant wait for next week because that one looks so good, and it focuses on tosh and she is my favourite character!!
Seriouslysirius
Yes Owen and Gwen are made for each other. I suppose it would be a good sub plot line.
But it's Gwen and Owen, personally Jacks to much of a flirter, i don't think he ever partically has wanted to get into a prober relationship because he can't face, losing them. I mean look at Estel.
Tosh this week. It does look scaryish but i don't think it's going to bad as last week. I saw a Weevil in the trailer for this episode and i'm happy. I like Weevils.
A little bit strange i know. laugh.gif
The boyfriend is proberly about to get the bad news.
Hey everyone i want a vote for Owen and Gwen or Jack and Gwen. I'm just intrested to what you all think. I know you've mentioned it before
But this is takeing an oath that you will never go back on your decisions.
I'll start.
Owen and gwen.
Sabrina_Rose_Snape
I want to quickly say somethings about the first two eposides because I have finally watched them laugh.gif

1st--- I loved it, the opening was really exposing, dramtic, I loved it (Can't say much at the moment because I need to go soon)

2nd--- I liked it but not as much as the first because it was diffecult to watch laugh.gif
Seriouslysirius
Yeah i know you watched them at mine.
I think your right the 1st one was better than the 2nd.
It was alot more exciting and the plot was more my age than the 2nd one.
Golden Phoenix
Okay... so, I was feeling a bit bored so I watched all the clips of each episode that they have on the Torchwood website. I really want to see episode 2 now. Well, I do want to see the others but the second one looks really good, although you two have both said you prefered episode 1. Oh well, I hope they show them all again soon, and then I'll be able to tell you what I think!
Seriouslysirius
Well yeah i reckon they should show them all again on BBC Three because they did that with Doctor Who. I also reckon that it should come on DVD. Again as it did with Doctor Who.
The one i recommend you watch out of the ones you haven't watched, Golden Phoniex. Are episodes 1 and 4. Episode 4 is the Cyberwoman episode and is as good as Countrycide episode 6.
With luck you'll get to see them all again!!!
I'm lucky because i've got them on tapes.
Golden Phoenix
I do remember an advert saying that BBC 3 was showing the first three episodes again... but that was before I liked it. I wish I had watched them then though. I think episode 4 does look good, but I want to watch all of them anyway... And think they will repeat them all sometime... like with Doctor Who, which was really good because I got to see the ones I missed.
lavender brown
to answer your question seriously sirius i think owen and gwen as well. i love jack but i think if they did get together it would be too predictable and owens relationship with gwen is much more interesting to watch because i dont think tosh or jack are totally happy with it.

do you think they will hide their relationship from jack, tosh and ianto or will they come clean??

jack is going to be in dr who again isnt he, next series i cant wait for that smile.gif
clara morgue
I loved Dr Who but torchwood has been a big letdown. Its ok but episode 6? wasn't even about aliens, it as about sick HUMAN cannibals!!!
i only just found out that the guy who plays jack is gay... what a waste!!!
K.Lupin_werewolf
hi!! wow!! i hace not been on here in a while... sorry cuz!! hope you can forgive me....
lol! well i may have only watched the first 2 episodes but they must have been good because i want to watch the next one's!! lol!! well i'm only like loads behind but dan.. can i borrow your tapes?? lol please...
Seriouslysirius
To answer your question Lavender Brown i do think the'll try to hide it but there have been signs in episode 6 and Jack's not stupid so i think he will know. I think Tosh likes Owen but that would never work.
And yes Jack is in series 3's finale i herd.
Torchwood is on tonight yeah. I'll tape it and watch it tommorow and then i'll give my thoughts on it.
And Clara morgue if you want aliens then there's some to come.
Good to here you like Doctor Who though.

Well i've seen it but it wasn't as good as last though i still liked it.
I am glad that Owen and Gwen are still together, i would have cried if they has split up. Because there my favourite characters.
Any way next wekk well i can not wait.
Have a quess who's back.

Hi every one.
I was about to type on my thread when suddenly the electricity went off.
Everything went pitch black and i find it a huge coincedence that it happened when i was on a Torchwood thread.
Has any body being doing something or watching Torchwood when something weird happened.
K.Lupin_werewolf
hi everybody...

i know i don't get to watch it... but hey!!

i don't know if i really have a favourite character... i don't think i have watched enough to decide on my favourite character yet...

i like Gwen....
Seriouslysirius
I think i have mentioned a lot of times that Owen is my favourite character.
He is funny and so on and so on.
I liked episode 7 where he got abousloley everything wrong on his prognosis.
I think that's the right word for the skeleton examination.

Okay everyone i thought a little bit of festive spirit wouldn't do so bad.
So i've deviced this Torchwood Advent challange.

Edit December 1st
All you have to do is quess what Torchwood realated is behind the door.
So lets start as December 1st.
Have a quess what is behind door number 1.
If nobody post between the days then i will tell you what was behind that door then you don't say things that have allready been said.
Remeber it's anything Torchwood realated.
lavender brown
Yeah i think that is the right word. Anyways I like Tosh, I dont know why but she is my favourite and on your little test thingy you said I was like her so happy.gif.

Well I saw the episode with the mind reading pendant, and I liked it, its not the best. I do have to admit that Gwen and Owen really annoyed me this week, because they were being so stupid because they are going out but it was still good, and I hope they will be normal again next week.

I hope we see more of Jack next week because he hasnt really been in it much recently and I love him too!!
Seriouslysirius
Yes more Jack would be nice.
Did i mention that Torchwood will be on Christmas eve!
That episode is no. 11 and is called combat.
Which brings me back to my advent challenge.
I'll give you a clue,
he is male.
lavender brown
wow christmas eve, thats cool tongue.gif

what is your advent challenge, do we have to guess who your thinking of or something???
Seriouslysirius
Yes you do.
You have to quess who or a thing to do with Torchwood i'm thinking of.
And i've decided for each person who gets it right will win a point and on Christmas eve,
we will count up to see whos' won.
So your clue is.
He is a male.
lavender brown
ok well as your favourite character is owen, im going with owen lol.

however there are lots of male characters but anyway owen...
Seriouslysirius
I like your stradgey but i'm afraid he is not today.
As you say there are plenty of male characters.
By the way you only have three quesses each day.
Because others may want a turn.
But you are so close.
lavender brown
ok so if i only have 3 guesses i will say ianto but then i will let someone else have a turn if it is wrong.
Seriouslysirius
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooah!
Well done Lavender that is correct.
Todays point goes to you.
Your the first one to get a point.
Maybe someone else will be lucky tommorow, or will it be you again.
Tommorow will be hard one.
And your clue is.
It's an object.
But don't start quessing yet. Have ideas about it and answer tommorow.
Once again Lavender well done.

This where i will put the points.

Lavender Brown = 1 point.

Sabrina_ Rose _ Snape = 3 Point's


Bear in mind that some of you will find it a little difficult if you haven't watch all the episodes.
So i suggest the Torchwood website there it will help you catch up.
Sabrina_Rose_Snape

Hmm...tricky...I'' have a guess though..is it the...

K.Lupin_werewolf
Well you told me and Sabrina_Rose_Snape to guess as soon as we can on the 2nd December, so here I am. This is a tricky one dan...hmm... unsure.gif
Is it the doctor's hand?
