Saturday January 26, 2008
John Barrowman (Captain Jack Harkness) and guest star James Marsters (Captain John Hart) in "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang," the season 2 premiere of Torchwood.

The fun presence of James Marsters, known for playing both Spike on Buffy and Angel and Milton Fine/Brainiac on Smallville (where he's about to resurface, in fact), is improved on by the fact that his character represents something to the enigmatic central character, Jack Harkness: the fact that Jack isn't the man he was.
Comments
C’mon - this series of Torchwood is duller than watching the proverbial paint dry. Incredibly hackneyed plots half-borrowed from thirties horror movies, naff special effects but worst of all - endless over-emotional wailing. In one episode I thought the characters would never stop crying. Just embarassing and damaging to the core Doctor Who franchise.
