May. 30th, 2008 04:08 amJust watched the Torchwood episode "Captain Jack Harkness".
I have officially caught a new fandom.
I'd been meaning to start watching Dr. Who for a while now, simply because of its iconic status in sci-fi, but Torchwood got me first simply due to the undeniable appeal of the gay (any show where James Marsters snogs other men is pretty high up in my book. If only they'd done it in Andromeda--come on, it was totally obvious that Charlemagne Bolivar was digging him some of Tyr's Kodiak pride hunkness!). Grabbed the episode I did because of the promise of more snogging and because I figured that since it was earlier in the show than the James Marsters guest starring bits, it'd be easier to understand. Not really on that count; I didn't get much of anything that was going on with the people back at the Torchwood place/the real time save that they needed some equations that Toshiko took back with her when she and Jack got sucked back in time in order to get them back. The fighting, the rift, the old guy all sort of went over my head, but the excitementdramaromance of the whole thing still managed to put me in the newfandom/tvshowlove!squee mood.
