McG's TV pick: Torchwood
I'm really digging the BBC's Torchwood.
The final episode aired this weekend. Right now I'm up to episode eight.
I usually am "feh" about science fiction shows, but this Doctor Who spinoff is really kickass.
The BBC America and/or SciFi channel will eventually get around to airing it here in the U.S...
Of course if you've seen Torchwood, you know I'm stating the obvious...

Doctor Who Christmas special hokey
I gotta say how disappointed I was with the Doctor Who Christmas special, "The Runaway Bride."
The plot was ridiculous: The Doctor had to get a bride who materialized in the Tardis to her wedding on time. I've seen silly plots on Doctor Who, but this one seemed like a reject episode penned by a fan.
The villain in the episode was just plain corny. And the bride, was an annoying see you next Tuesday.
And the way the Doctor was overly-sentimental and pining for Rose Tyler, who has been banished to another dimension, was a failed attempt to tug on viewers' heartstrings.
That said, I'm four episodes in to Torchwood and am finding I'm liking it more than Doctor Who!
