[Closed] Last night's Touchwood, sorry Torchwood...

I was watching it wondering if the scene had been Jack and, say, Gwen (shudders!) whether they'd have done it the same. I think on balance and taking into account the extent and length of the scenes, it was basically gratuitous and unnecessary as it added nothing to the story though no doubt some enjoyed the view of Jack's backside 🙂

I did like the idea of various homophobes getting a bit het up about it though 🙂

yeah for outing the prudes
I think at that time you could find similar using straight folk without to much trouble
most love scenes in films are gratuitous and touchwoood is very childish Derek
You are becoming like STW very only Dail Whail... it weren't like this when I were a lad and it so much worse now
Can we reminisce about the good all days before the gays were everywhere
Frankly given who it would offend I would have done a few more minutes ...couple of cracking looking guys what your issue DS ?...had it been two good looking women I am sure STW would react in exactly the same way 🙄

I think at that time you could find similar using straight folk without to much trouble

Yeah, and IMO that'd have been gratuitous too. YMMV

Was it after the 9pm watershed..?

Carry on then..

It was pathetic, no need for all that gheying going on, its sci-fi not Gay Rabbit TV. Ok it would take two mins of the plot to cement the fact the Jack "backdoor" Harkness had an Italian catholic lover who was nothing more than a rent boy who he abused and then dumped, who then had a major love grudge and wanted revenge.

This loving aint over yet, wait til they meet again after so many years, cant wait......

Think they need to balance it out a bit with Rex having a good old session with Ester, cant beat a bit of black on blonde. 😛

(Before anyone moans im not homophobe, Ive even got a rainbow belt)

Gay Rabbit TV

What channel number is that?

Noted.

Coffee brewed, garibaldi in hand.

This can't end well

garibaldi in hand.

Never heard it called that.

Gary's baldy?

wrecker, just a coffee please. Strong and black, thanks.

Strong and black

That's how Captain Jack likes it too.

Notes (for future reference) the homophobes.

It's 2 people doing what comes naturally. Grow up? Turn over? Live in the real (alternate) world? Expand your horizons just a little?

geoffj, I agree.

oooh, someone's tetchy this morning.

Personally, I think its wrong to show it on TV. Most world religions also agree.

Just skimming down through this and for a minute I thought I had stumbled on some on line soggy biscuit.

Ewhhh.

You'll need to explain that one to me.

Granted it isn't as good as Dr Who, but Torchwood isn't that bad.

Tetchy? for having a point of view?

I just think it's a bit sad that some people can't see past the "straight" world.

Emsz - had it been a scene from "Captain Jack - his love for Angelo" then the scene would have been in context. I'm not arsed* about gay sex scenes - I'm just saying that the one in last night's was unnecessary and I wonder about the decision making behind it.

* no pun intended.

Tbh,from what I've seen if I've been unfortunate enough to be passing through the room when it is on, the gay sex scenes are one of the least irritating parts of Torchwood.

Oddly I watched pretty much the whole of last nights episode and never even thought about the sex scenes till just now when derek pointed it(the "naked,gay romping" that is) out.

Did I say tetchy, sorry I meant stroppy.

😉

spot on, nothing else needs to be said, imho.

Derek, most sex scenes are unnecessary in most films/tv shows aren't they? it's just a way of getting viewing figures up.

Greame (gay hairdresser mate) was loving it though, I think he may have fainted with excitement at one point, LOL

2 people having sex? On TV? Whatever next? Soon our TV's will be full of guns, violence, images of suffering and dead bodies and genuine cruelty as entertainment! Oh wait..

So was my wife... 😉

I think you're all missing the most important point that irrespective of who's doing what to whom, the series still blows goats and no amount of gratuitous sex is going to change that.

Oh I see, I think I'll invite some good mates round tonight, a plate of biccies and channel 571, jobs a goodun.

I've just read that soggy biscuit definition, and some of you are worried about gay sex scenes??!!??

Most world religions believe in invisible superheroes that live in the clouds.

It doesn't make them right!

Surely that's a reason to show it 🙂

Have you just "google imaged" it? 😯

That could take some explaining at your disciplinary hearing.

Scruff's perfectly correct. Though I'm also pretty certain that there was a lot of hot boy on boy action at the last supper once the wine started flowing. I mean it can't be by coincident that Jesus choose all his disciples to be virile young men.

"Its two people doing what come naturally"

Just to open a debate,"if" it was natural, the human race would only existing for about 100 years, please explain ?

I went straight for urban dictionary and searched in there. A Google image search on soggy biscuit would be office suicide.

I wouldn't recommend searching for 'gay rabbit sex' either.

When I say searching I mean Google images, if you want to walk the street looking for cheap meaningless rabbit sex, that of course is your business.

Could we clarify first whether you're a troll, or just plain stupid? It will make framing the answer so much simpler.

homosexuality in humans has been going on for as long as we can document history ergot it is natural -whilst we are googling odd words i give you catamite

I doubt that certain elements of STW would be this upset if the story had been about Jack & Gwen having a prolonged fling.

Just saying.

your shitting me, right kingkong? 😆

are people realy objecting to a bit of boy on boy action?! is this the 1950s?

its captain jack for goodness sake, if you didnt know he was gay already youve been living on a different planet

and whats the bollox about its scifi not gay tv? scifi can have just as many gay people as the real world cant it? and they can even do stuff like real people do, eg have sex!

its quite amazing that you complain about a tv show that has gone into quite disturbing detail about child molestation, feature people being tortured, repeatedly m,urderd, burnt alive, blown up, yet still alive, dead/not dead babies etc etc
and you get upset by john barrowmans bum!!!

(unless like scruff you are a devout catholic)

i thought last nights show was quite good, inspite of all that nasty mansex

edit: and kingkong finger brings us nicely down to the level of proper old school ignorance 😆

The problem with last nights episode was they managed to cram a 20 minute programme into an hour slot! (no laughing at the back!)

your shitting me, right kingkong?

you love it Junky LOL

cram a 20 minute programme into an hour slot!

Goes to look this phrase up on urban dictionary...

your shitting me, right kingkong?

Can I also add, that Google imaging the above quote is also not a great idea either.

And to further back it up, look up homosexuality in animals (though ideally not on image search...), Penguins being a particularly good example.

Good work scruff, it took a few minutes but then they started to chow down on hook.

Damn, damn, damn, every time I fall for it.

I'm not ranting about gays and gay sex. I'm all for it. But Torchwood is not the place for such a scene. Can you imagine the furore if twenty minutes into Countryfile, John Craven and Matt Baker started necking and taking off their moleskin trousers? Sweet Jesus, Mary & Joseph.

Whereabouts do you live, derek?

You're comparing Torchwood with Countryfile?

WTF?

Nobody's kicked off about "black on blonde action"?
This place isn't what it used to be.
I'm disappointed and my "garibaldi" has gone soft.

but torchwood is a drama with a gay character in the lead role

country file is a magazine show about erm countryside, they probably ought to do a feature on dogging tbh, though like torchwood, that episode should probably go out after the watershed

It's well known that Antiques Road Dhow is a renowned mobile dogging spot for OAPs, but the cameramen use their discretion as to what to film.

Edit: Bollocks! Beaten to the dogging by kimbers

Though Countryfile would be the correct place for gay rabbit TV.

Yep, I've seen loads of old wood on there.

will we get a thread for every unnecessary straight love scene Derek ?

Indeed! I mean, take Supernatural, for instance, with Dean thrashing around like an eel with a variety of naked ladies. Totally disproportionate considering it's a horror action series! Okay - if the relationships between Dean and various women are an important aspect of the story, they needn't have been coloured in so vividly! They've said that Torchwood is aimed at adults, it's not like it's a kiddie or family show like Doctor Who.

Though I'm also pretty certain that there was a lot of hot boy on boy action at the last supper once the wine started flowing. I mean it can't be by coincident that Jesus choose all his disciples to be virile young men.

you know what I watched Queer as folk and at no point did they do an interesting feature on farming, badger culling or the countryside... I was very upset by this.
I want a t-shirt with that on - hilarious and yet it will offend the righteous

You need the Special Edition DVD box set for that.

Had CJH and Angelo been discussing bovine TB in the run up to their romp then I'd have been happy. But they went straight into it. I was agog and lost half a dunked digestive cos I didn't pull out quick enough.

Torchwood is an adult's program and while last night's action was a bit gratuitous IMHO, it's on after the watershed after all.

Now, Doctor Who on the other hand is a children's show and I disagreed strongly with the way Russell T. Davies insisted on forcing his homosexual agenda down the viewer's throats. So to speak. It's meant to be about the Daleks, FFS.

I've got to be honest and say that I don't think he's particularly capable as a writer or director - yes, he brought Doctor Who back, but the truly brilliant episodes (Empty Child, Angels etc) were written by Steven Moffat.

You've changed you tune from last night "King Dong" anyway that's your Opinion, they're like Ar*&holes, every one got one. 😀

BTW: Are your Plumbs ready for picking 😕

 

forcing his homosexual agenda down the viewer's throats

What are you on about here ? There is one gay character * and there was at worst flirting going on Dr Who.
Personally I thought it was superb to show a gay person as a hero and in a typical straight man alpha male role. It was done to re-educate people perceptions of what it means to be gay ... obviously not fully successfully.
My kids have never even picked up on this aspect of jack FWIW in the same way they did not notice the disable CBBC presenter when they were younger. if they did I am comfortable discussing either issue with them tbh. I dont think you can ram homosexuality down anyones throat it is just taken as this when it is not hidden away like it is a bit naughty and not to be discussed in polite company.

* i believe he is technically an omnisexual - men, women, human or alien ..you just picked up on one bit of this.

[i] worst flirting going on Dr Who.[/i]

Can't wait for the late night edition with Amy Pond 😯

+1 for JY's last post.

I turned it off in disgust, nothing to do with two men getting it on it was more to do with it was like watching paint dry.

ram homosexuality down anyones throat

Eek.

Obviously, if Gwen and Amy were to come across each other...they should have a right good chat about their experiences and maybe crack open a bottle of pinot grigio.

I'm stuggling to stop myself laughing. This is brilliant. Keep it up (as it were)

ram homosexuality down anyones throat

Eek.
