Torchwood was at it's peak during series 2. I persevered until "Miracle Day".

There are two things to be considered:

(1) Men objectifying women. Sometimes they will find an excuse for it.

(2) Women who use their sexuality to manipulate a man.

When Danny was resurrected as a cyberman, the situation was depressing. With Lisa it is played differently. Except for that flashback of Ianto wailing in agony after Lisa is half converted. That bit was horrible.:(

Both RTD and Moffat admit that part of how they hire actors is based on a certain look or image for the character that they will portray. It could be misinterpreted with Moffat because Karen Gillian was a model. As if it was the main reason he hired her.

I heard Karen was suppose to wear trousers or pants because they are more practical. She suggested the short skirts with at least suitable foot wear which were boots.

Clara wore skirts and heels and in the episode Time Heist the Doctor tells her to change her shoes.

When my brother found out who the champion for series 5 was going to be, he gave me a look that said: Oh their going for a PYT. I lamely replied with: Shes Scottish!. That's different. But I have to admit I was kind of thinking the same thing.

I sometimes disagree with the way women are portrayed in Doctor Who but if I let it get to me, I would have stopped watching a long time ago.

I almost did with Torchwood but I was trying to be optimistic about the spin-off. I liked Tosh more than Gwen, even though the latter got more screen time.

I was wondering if you have ever watched the show Supernatural?.
