Lie back and think of Torchwood...

reprobaytFinally finished watching the first season of BBC series Torchwood
Good show...not great, but good. Didn't feel like I wasted my time......but what's with all the guy-guy kissing?
Was it there as shock value? Payback for all the gratuitous girl-girl action lately? I would say that a third of the time it was integral to the plot, the rest seemed like overkill. I noticed the same thing in the BBC miniseries The State Within. I enjoyed the series, but it seemed the relationship between two of the male characters was fluffed up (no pun intended) a bit, more than the other subplots.
It may be that I noticed it more than I do T&A and the new lesbian chic in Hollywood (which I think has peaked)...let's face it, we men no matter the intelligence can be distracted sometimes by what can be called the "female ooh shiny". :)
Maybe it's just the British way... *shrugs*
