I feel good about my intense dislike of Torchwood. I feel like I came about it honestly because I found the writing to be lazy, boring and offensive and I found the character of Jack and the acting work of Barrowman to work only as sidekick not as leading man.

YES. You've summed up exactly how I feel about Torchwood. I love DW so of course I approached Torchwood expecting to like it. It totally earned my dislike, by being awful in too many ways to count.

I didn't enjoy Nine nearly as much as Ten, but I am totally with you on Tennant and Simm. Mmm... happy thoughts.
