catsidheOK, so it's been sex-obsessed. It's been patchy. The acting has tended towards the hysterical.
It still doesn't deserve having had Channel Goddessdamned Ten happening to it.
First this week's abomination where Big Brother went overtime for almost an hour (an hour, dammit!), showing quite clearly the complete and total contempt they have for anything where 13-year old girls don't get to spend fortunes on SMS voting (expect voting on the news any day now).
But after Mim looked at today's green guide, Channel Ten's abhorrance of the audience they have found themselves with is made painfully plain: as of next week, Torchwood is to be moved to midnight.
Midnight.
MIDNIGHT!!! FFS!
The only way they could have made their contempt more plain is if the Channel executives had gone around to every household in the country personally and left a paper bag filled with dog-shit on the front step.
If they hate sci-fi and fantasy shows so much, as evidenced by this, and by how they killed Battlestar Galactica, et al., then why, by the Goddess' Left Nipple Ring, did they buy them in first place? Except to deliberately bury them? In which case, why do the producers continue selling to them?
Unless it is a sneaky plot to force people to buy the DVDs of the series, by making it impossible to watch them any other way.
Maybe that's it. Channel Ten has a deal with Amazon and broadband providers. It certainly would explain a lot.

I'm prepared to try finishing the first season (however that comes about) to see if it gets any better, but I've been pretty unimpressed so far. It's a shame.
Mind you, I also hated Rose Tyler, and still hate David Tennant as the Doctor. Bring back Christopher Ecclestone!!!!
midnight you say? GREAT!!
