I expected this response, hence why I clarified with the metaphysics comment.
Maybe I was too extreme in saying SF strictly reflects a Godless perception of reality. The War Of The Worlds is one of the definitive SF stories and surely one of the only pieces of Victorian-era literature to extensively utilise the theory of evolution, but Wells still says that the bacteria that slay the Martians was placed on Earth "by God in all his wisdom". |

Huge disappointment of a season. WHERE THE ARE THE ALIENS?!?! There's been more gay sex than other-worldliness so far...by a LOT. |

The good kind with girls or the kind with the penis in the butt and the makeovers and the singing of the showtunes? |

Meh, I don't think I'll bother then. Time to watch "Lie To Me" and the latest series of "In Treatment" for me...

I can't say that's what I like the most about Torchwood (the aliens, that is). I really liked the drama in the two first seasons when Tosh had a crush on Owen who bonked Gwen who was frequently harassed by Jack Harkness who in turn would bone anything that moved, including Ianto. Then they axed Owen and Tosh and Gwen became a loyal housewife. Meh. |

It still has its moments, its just not as cool. Certainly not compared to children of earth, which I thought was superb.

No, the beauty of torchwood was the lack of happy endings for any episode. Someone always paid or got ed up. |
