Almost through S3. I'm actually posting my reactions as I watch it on my LJ. :) Might have to friend you back - I love reading first-time viewers' thoughts. :)
Now that I'm watching Angel, I'll agree that he's more interesting than a plank of wood, but I'm fairly neutral on him. Except when he's acting like a doofus. Then that's just funny. Angel being 12 is never not funny. But I do love him to tiny itty bitty pieces. Wait and see - you might still grow to love him.
I'll probably go through your meta when I have a chance. :) Should keep you occupied for *quite* a while if you get round to it...
I watch Doctor Who. *cheers*
I gave up on Torchwood after the first season, though (I did watch Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang just to see James Marsters, but that's it). Oh no! You can't do that. S2 is *lightyears* better than S1. Seriously. S1 should come with some sort of disclaimer, or warning - something along the lines of 'Yes this is horribly depressing and v. often uses a sledgehammer, BUT if you stick with it you will be rewarded with fun and awesomeness in S2!' (OK, so S2 has its moment of stupidity, and plotholes that are large enough to drive trucks through, but... it turned me from casual viewer to obsessive. Also, Jack! And Ianto. And Jack and Ianto together. And Tosh and Owen and Gwen and Rhys and Andy and the pteradactyl and weevils and angst and sex and character stuff that's BRILLIANT!)
OK, shutting up now. I just love Torchwood, possibly *because* it's just a bit... over the top and ridiculous.
