2.4: Meat

[SiHart]

Will Rhys venture into the world of Torchwood tonight? How will Gwen react when her two worlds collide?

You can talk about Meat here!

[Si Hunt]

I like a nice bit of meat.

Si.

[Dirk Gently]

I love beef.

[SiHart]

I'm a big fan of pork.

[Antony Cox]

Mmmm... sausages...... gahhhhh *dribble*

[Pip Madeley]

Penis.

[Antony Cox]

That's not bad, either....

[Pip Madeley]

I'm a vegetarian, myself.

[Antony Cox]

Carrots are nice.

[Dirk Gently]

Since when is this the Temple? And you an admin too, Pip!

[Antony Cox]

You mean this isn't the temple??

*grabs coat*

[Si Hunt]

I see it my mission to convert veggie-lovers to the wonder of meat.

Si.

[Antony Cox]

Is that a thinly-veiled euphemism, Mr Hunt?

[Pip Madeley]

Since when is this the Temple?

Have you SEEN Torchwood?

Blimey I struggled with this one, I looked at the clock at 9.22 and couldn't believe that it was only half way through it's running time. The concept was interesting enough, but the way they dragged out the Gwen and Rhys nonsense bored me senseless. I've always struggled to like Rhys, and understand why a character like Gwen would have a relationship with such a dull bloke, but this made me dislike the both of them even more.

I'm fed up with the series of being so overtly serious, and Gwen being in 'angry anquished ranty' mode at the end of nearly every episode, I don't buy the sudden character changes of all the other Torchwood team members, and Jack's the only thing keeping me watching it - but if it carries on like this for much longer I don't think I'll bother unfortunately.

Seems all sorts of weird stuff goes on in Merthyr too.

I have to say I really enjoyed this one, although I think they borrowed the creature from the Primeval CGI department.

[Lissa]

I see it my mission to convert veggie-lovers to the wonder of meat.

Si.

Yeah. Good luck with that.

I didn't watch Torchwood.

[Captain Tancredi]

I'm wondering whether the version with all the effing and blinding cut out will be entitled 'Quorn'.

[Rob McCow]

I really liked this one.

Except for the really, really stupid bits. And the wobble-cam direction which always gets on my tits. In Rhys and Gwen's first argument, it looked like it was being filmed by incontinent mole-men on a bouncy castle.

I thought Rhys was brill this week and I really enjoyed some of his arguments with Gwen. But he only leapt in front of the bullet for the sake of it, as though his internal body clock said 'I need to get shot this episode'. Seeing as Gwen survived a shotgun blast and Owen survived being shot at point blank by Ianto last year, she needn't have worried. Why don't they just say they're all wearing bulletproof gear?

Er... yeah, the space whale stuff was nice too. It was quite cute and looked like a big hamburger. I liked Jack's line 'We incinerated it'. Should have been followed by 'It rained gobbets of fat and ash on Cardiff for the last 15 hours...' or 'Best barbeque ever!'

[Wayne]

I liked it. Not as much as the last two weeks, but still way better than Ep.1.
I don't mind Rhys actually. I think i like him because he is down to earth & 'ordinary', & not a poser.
I still feel as though i haven't really noticed anyone except Jack & Gwen though.
Well there was Tosh last week, but who are the others again?
The sentimentality over the creature's plight seemed a bit contrived though. Otherwise good, if not anything special. But they can't all be like last week's ep.

[Dirk Gently]

I too liked it. And as Wayne says, not as good as the two previous but good none the less. Rhys added a bit of 'Joe public' to the proceedings.
I got a little tired of Tosh going after Owen, it's getting wearing, & he's not interested.
I thought the CGI was way better than Primeval manage. Just above average.

Angela rated it 7.5/10.

[Si Hunt]

Yeah. Good luck with that.

I didn't watch Torchwood.

You do know I was still talking in puerile innuendos don't you?

I wouldn't be so pretentious as to try to persaude other people to eat the same food as me. I'm not completely happy with the whole meat thing myself. I prefer fish even though I'd have a job to explain why that gives me any moral high ground, it just feels like it does.

[Pip Madeley]

When I said I was a vegetarian...

... oh, never mind.

[Si Hunt]

When I was talking about meat what I actually meant was cock.

Si.

[Pip Madeley]

Chicken?
