Lets talk about Torchwood shall we?? yes, which is adult spin off of British hit sci-fi Doctor Who which is by the way is just become brilliant in season 5 & season how should i say 5 1/2 cause season 6 not over yet.. but back to Torchwood .. it used to be one of my very favorite sci-fi show , i say used to be because its no longer & i will say why its no longer my favorite show.. Season 1 of Torchwood nice compact season it had Captain Jack Harkness from Doctor who played by John Barrowman i liked him started watching for him but over all love the concept except if i ignore very annoying over the top another lead character apart from Captain Jack Gwen Cooper , its not that i hated her but as it was put she was heart & soul of Torchwood well to be heart & soul she was too much flawed & annoying if i see her as a normal human being with regular character flaws she is ok.. but my main attraction was some cool aliens & rest of the cast members a very snarky Doctor Owen Harper a very timid shy Tech Toshiko Sato & the best character who was not very much given screen time except one episode " cyberwoman" the tea boy of Torchwood Cardiff Ianto Jones so some plot holes & everything season 1 was pretty good season 2 was very good until two good characters with brilliant actors were killed of.. then came the season 3 5 episode back to back more of a mini series with lots of promise Children of the Earth , to say the least it was disappointing to the core it not only killed of another brilliant character Ianto Jones but if his death held some meaning it would have been acceptable it was just for drama as creators of the show & some writer put it as james Moron said they spend 3 days thinking what to do & decided to kill Ianto i would say lack of creative imagination nothing else.. now Torchwood moved to season 4 it used to be a British show made in Wales another thing i loved about it along with its aliens , its characters its hub its resident pet Pteranodon & its resident weevil, but Torchwood moved to Hollywood to be bigger & better & how it becomes bigger & better they introduce a character who is a pedophile & according to JB's interview it has " man sex" & nudity when i watch a sci-fi show why would i bother about those things i would watch something adventurous something relaxing to escape the stress of the daily life .. two men or women having sex its not going to give that.. anyway.. its not only because Ianto Toshko & Owen is not there anymore its Cardiff , hub, not there anymore ites my favorite Torchwood not there anymore cause the Torchwood i loved that didn't have a likable pedophile & i draw the line there.. so Miracle day its no go for me.. but as 3 radio plays coming up i would listen to them because of Ianto.. hope they have more Ianto less Gwen Cooper other wise it will be again a disappointment .. i hope some day BBC will look back & decide to bring back old Torchwood would love it with return of Ianto Jones as its sci-fi & in this everything is possible dead not really stay dead Torchwood itself is the example of it..

My views about Indian Television
first of all i love watching television, really love it. To me its a way to escape from daily stressful life for few hours, i do not simply do not watch hindi or regional channels, it has to be always American or British TV , call me snob but i don't care Indian Television its simply silly some time while changing channels i get to see glimpse of some series which are on for like forever but that's not an issue really if the series is good it can go on like in case of Supernatural of CW network in India its comes in AXN but here is the difference in American or British TV they get break between series but in India it goes on without break, i find it very silly i mean a person needs a break from everything & how you feel to watch same thing for years & when i say same thing i mean its same thing same big houses with same overly dressed people who are either crying over something or getting Married or recent trend is involving Children , few days ago a saw a serial for about 5 minutes where a 11 year old girl got married with a 25-30 years old man, isn't it banned in our society by Law of the constitution , i mean we are still so far behind from rest of the world that all our audience enjoy is this cause those channels show them just because people watch them, right? is our society is so narrow minded that all we enjoy is this, i haven't seen anything else in Indian TV which are different , lets face it here in India we don't have one sci-fi show which we can call its India's very own sci-fi which i love cause that's just perfect to escape the reality , i am not saying we can have Star Trek or stargate or even BBC's Doctor Who made here its simply not possible here either technology or that creative ideas i guess we lack .. but seriously all we can have in Indian TV is a from of Pedophilia OH YES!! a 11 years old girl married to a 30 year old man that's a form of Pedophilia i just wonder why Government 's child & Women welfare department has turned blind eye towards it they were not when in their language obscenities were shown in Ftv or AXN even BBC has to edit of their sci-fi show Torchwood where two lead male character were lovers & some kissing scenes were edited here cause we Indians won't be able to stomach the idea about two same sex people in love cause simply our society is not that progressed enough where we can grasped the idea of two people can fall in love their gender doesn't matter but i am not going there its just that i found how boring & lack of creative ideas in our Television & to watch something good we have to turn towards American or british TV be its Sci-fi/ Supernatural or even good Family of Cop drama we don't even have show anywhere near to CSI series.. or a sanctuary of SY-FY USA which BTW showed pretty cool avatar of Hindu goddess Kali.. so yes i have very cynical view of Indian Television..which in my eyes just not worth it.
