Bunch of pointless wangsty rubbish that means absolutely nothing, and completely wastes the potential that an interesting character like Jack Harkness seemed to promise when Doctor Who first introduced him. To hell with that garbage!

I agree about it being "wangsty rubbish that means absolutely nothing." But then again I feel completely the same way about Doctor Who.

I actually didn't find Harkness that interesting in Doctor Who, and kind of like what Torchwood has done with him. How much of the show did you watch HH? I watched about three episodes and came to the conclusion I wouldn't be able to take much more of it (I was very tempted to quit after the first episode), but was determined to make it to the end of season one. Now I am glad I did, after hearing so many positive things about Children of the Earth I am kind of excited about it (middle of season two right now).
