Bringing the show to America just has not carried on that good story line. However, this article misses the mark on the bill pullman character. My take is that the entire world is in such chaos that no one is thinking clearly and those who have poor judgement skills to begin with are attributing something miraculous to him. However, many people in the story also hate the man and one episode he was beaten by police officers before the public could get to him.
Yeah but that beat down was did seem clearly intended to garner the character sympathy. That didn’t offend me so much because they did make clear that the man had no real feelings of guilt over what he had done. I just found the whole thing really disjointed and then throw in out of context homoerotica and it just seemed like a mess of a show. There is just not a lot to like and even the characters aren’t as compelling as in the original Torchwood. Anyway there is plenty of other good sci fi on lately. I’ve been enjoying Alphas, Eureka, Falling Skies, and Haven. :-)
