The Hottest Kisses You Never Saw

They’re too racy, too raw. There’s enough tongue in them to make a director blush — and so much grabby-hands that the director, producer, and writer hit the ground in a dead faint. Or maybe it’s just good suspense to deprive characters of some desperately needed mouth-on-mouth. The Blu-Ray release of The X-Files: Fight the…

Captain Jack vs. Common’s Robot: Music Video Throwdown!

A heap of new music videos represent for science fiction. But the stand-out video this time around is Common’s “Universal Mind Control” video, featuring Pharrell as a robot. Not only is the track a hit, but the dancing robot’s moves are far and away some of the best robot strides I’ve ever seen. I dare…

Torchwood’s New Merchandising Opportunities

Always looking to increase the profile of his show, John Barrowman has come up with a suggestion for a brand new line of Torchwood accessories. The only problem being, they may not really fit in with the “being promoted to BBC One and gaining a wider audience” agenda that the program makers may have for…

Old Doctor Too Grumpy For Madonna, Claims Barrowman

Is this the start of a Torchwood/Doctor Who rift? John Barrowman, whose Captain Jack has made a point of jumping between shows, has weirdly spoken out about Christopher Eccleston, the revamped Who’s first Doctor, saying that he was too grumpy for his own good and comparing him to the more sociable current Doctor, David Tennant.…

Torchwood Shocks Our Nipples With Sudden Greatness

Wow. The latest Torchwood episode was amazing, and not just for this chloroforming, nipple zapping scene. If only “Fragments” had aired during season one, preferably as the second or third episode. It would have made the BBC’s Doctor Who spinoff seem like a much cooler show, and might actually have improved the other episodes. Spoilers…

Is The End Near For David Tennant On Doctor Who?

Rumors keep popping up about the BBC’s time-travel show Doctor Who, including persistent reports that David Tennant will definitely leave the show before or during 2009’s three TV movies, and a replacement has been named. (The show’s fifth season doesn’t air until 2010.) And now some drastic reports have popped up about the show’s adult…

Torchwood’s Captain Jack Runs Away To Join The Circus

Barrowman, who plays Captain Jack Harkness in the Doctor Who spin-off, is in talks to take the lead role in a revival of the musical Barnum towards the end of next year, providing scheduling can be worked out around his roles in both Torchwood…

Torchwood Does The Kissy-Fighty Dance

This clip shows everything that’s great — and everything that’s awful — about Torchwood, the naughtiest Doctor Who spinoff. First it serves up outlandish sexual innuendo mixed liberally with alien creepiness. And then it suddenly veers into drama and jealous bickering, which is really just the grotty barnacle-covered underside of campiness. Don’t watch the clip…

James “Spike” Marsters Double Fists It For Torchwood

The trailer for Torchwood Season Two is out today, and it features new cast member James Marsters flashing his physique, wearing a skin-tight shirt, sporting hair gel, and bringing two-gun action to the table as he tries to out-grin John Barrowman, who might just have the biggest mouth in the entire science fiction universe. Despite…

New Doctor Who Star Could Be His Own Worst Enemy

Could the Master be the new Doctor? That’s what one newspaper is claiming. John Simm, who danced rings around David Tennant as the psycho arch-villain, is the “hot favorite” to play the Doctor when Tennant leaves. But it’s unclear how the show could get around the fact that we saw Simm’s body being cremated: If…

Must See: Torchwood

Must-see TV shows are futuristic classics that shouldn’t be missed. Of course, not every must-see is perfect. That’s why we’ve rated them 1-5 on the patented “crunchy goodness” scale. Title: Torchwood Date: 2006-present Vitals: A secret organization in the Doctor Who universe hoards alien artifacts and uses them to “arm the human race against the…
