Duck!

Apparently, we’re not positive enough for the MSN Torchwood group. Now mean bullies are throwing stones at us! Okay, mostly at me, thanks to my fifth-episode verdict, but also at a few of the assembled “moaners”, as well as at anyone who dislikes Torchwood.

Most disheartening comment, on so many, many levels: “And as good as David Caruso is in his own time and place, he is hardly a measure for an episode of Torchwood.” They don’t like the Carusometer?!! How can this be? Sniff.

Still, there is a request for help: “Are there ANY bloggers who actually like and appreciate Torchwood for a great bit of British Science Fiction we can all enjoy?”

Can anyone point them in the right direction?
