Please keep writing! Your stories are great. I wasn't going to watch MD, but our cable co offered it for free, and I did watch it. I'm glad I did, because now I know it's bad beyond expectations (and I had anticipated it being really really bad). It's not just a bad Torchwood remake, it's bad tv. It's cliched, Americanized, and the plot and actions are straight out of the most superficial parts of the 80's. Plot holes as big as the ones in COE, impossible action (Jack and a CIA agent jump out of a 5th floor window into a foot of water and suffer nothing more than bruises. Gwen and Rhys have no visible source of income but live in a nice farmhouse on the water (maybe she tapped into TW's funds? Nah, she's not that smart). And we're supposed to believe that two years after COE, the UK government is still trying to find her and kill her. If they'd wanted to kill her, they would have right after COE, and if they'd wanted to find her it would have taken them 5 minutes.
One of the main characters in the series is a guy who raped and killed a 12 year old and blamed it on the girl because "she didn't run fast enough." And from what I've read, he's not going to be a villian. The main CIA guy is an arrogant jerk. Andy once again leads the authorities to Gwen and Jack.
I will say that Bill Pullman is marvelous -- he does evil and creepy just by a tiny facial gesture. And Gwen looks old (sorry, but I've never forgiven Eve Myles for that mollycoddling remark). Rhys is adorable (but if anyone talked to me the way Gwen talks to him, there would be words. Yep, she's still a witch like she was.)
I'm glad I watched it so I know I'm not missing anything by not watching any more.
Sorry this is so long, guess I needed to vent to other TW fan
