These are thoughts on Torchwood rather dated. Still not watching "Doctor Who" and then are only limited to Jack & C.

What struck me from the very first episodes of the series is the sympathy felt for the protagonist, for me exceptional in that it sided for those who always does good to the case and who has no parameters and standards of justice for those who see things his way and not see the ground. And usually this is not the character of a protagonist.

Here, Jack is the protagonist and is no superhero.

Another thing that struck me is the fact that all the other characters, who first and who later began to like it for different reasons and now I appreciate them all, another thing for me, usually absurd, I love the serial & ldquo ; Dexter "and more or less hate and I love all the characters in" True Blood "just to feel sympathy Eric.

Today I finished yet another episode of Torchwood and, thanks a period of personal reflection, thanks to the depth of a few episodes played by talented actors, I started to think about.

Jack is the only creature that can exist on earth. I feel compassion for him and a bit 'part in her grief.

His biggest penalty, his curse, is not being able to end his life.

There are thousands of stories that deal with this "superpower" from "Highlander" vampires various spoken of in many series, but in "Torchwood" the argument seems to me finally treated with the wide range of emotions that must inspire. It will be that John Barrowman is a great actor, who will be the scripts of the authors are written as they should, the fact is that I had the wish to reflect on what I've seen him now, not before.

Jack Harkness lives in a time that is not his, and there has adapted, he says, because he knows must be there and what is his place. Once you died, was revived and has since died many times and is always resurrected.

Jack does not feel a superhero for this, and does not boast with the friends of this characteristic, for the entire first series no one, apart from Gwen, knows his secret and that's because we tend to fear a person that can not die, and probably less than they trust her. A person can not die has nothing to lose and nothing to fear. This is the second death.

But it is wrong for Jack.

not to die, in my opinion, is the greatest weakness that you might have. You diseases to people, maybe you love them then you see them grow old and leave. You can try to explain to them how great it is to have only a certain number of time to stay in this world, how beautiful it is to give a value to every single moment of your life, knowing that it will not last long, but nobody believes you, whoever will tell you that you're the lucky one to die and that sucks.

The shot in the head, he stands up and everyone is happy to see him standing, I'd probably be happy if I could raise my shot in the head once. But two, three, four ...

You fall off a building and broken bones are healed, you shut in a car with a suicide, breathe the same gas that he can breathe and see when you die nothing happens, and so for years and years and years. The people around you die and you are always there to see the ages that pass, things change, maybe the world will be ruined.

sometimes I feel I have seen so many changes in three decades of life that scares me what will happen in the next twenty. If I were immortal as I rejoice in what? I think just the time to be completely alone, then go crazy.

Every time a re-created a circle of friends, a group of people who love you, but nothing as hard as you. Everything is designed to an end except you.

separation, one of the most devastating things that exist, the greatest proof that a human can pass before his death, separation from those we love and leave us, Jack has addressed thousands of times.

Perhaps it is true that after a while 'learn to accept pain and banquets there, but how much can be terrible to know that you sure you survive the people you love, that sooner or later you will leave and you never follow them even in the future because you are not given to make quel'ultima experience.

Once, in one of our conversations about God, a friend of mine told me that in his opinion God did not make us immortal because he feels himself to the horror of the thing and did not want to give this pain also to his creatures.

Okay, transcend, but I love thinking about these things, sometimes it makes me feel better.

So it not only makes Jack a strong person beyond all limits, but also a person with ideas completely out of the ordinary, because out of the ordinary is its perception of existence.

E così è pronto ad uccidere, se la cosa è necessaria, senza porsi troppe domande dove chiunque sano di mente se ne porrebbe mille, è pronto a lasciar morire una persona se questa lo chiede espressamente (e chi meglio di lui può comprendere questa richiesta?) ed è pronto a lasciare che una madre perda la propria figlia se ciò serve a salvare il mondo.          

È il motivo per cui sto amando questa serie e per cui passano in secondo plan the other things I really like (beautiful scenes of sex, men kissing passionately), Jack is not a superhero, Jack does things right, but not always the right way, because sometimes the right way is likely to affect too many lives.

Next to Jack is Gwen Cooper, a new generation of Torchwood, Suzie came to replace the imbalance that has sustained the work within the organization to the point of no longer being able to discern right from wrong.

And the point is this: if you are inside of such a group, you can put the interests of the planet to yours forever?

When you have the option to save the life of someone you love, even sacrificing percent, what will you do?

Gwen should be the soul of Torchwood, the one who leads the company to reflect both the mind and the heart, the one who cares to make it clear to Jack that people have a life, emotions and dreams and that you need to know to interact with them.

But she is also human and not immortal, and when we will have to decide between the world and her boyfriend, choose her boyfriend, endangering the whole earth and his friends.

Boy, among others, has betrayed not only you but also distasteful treated more than once, to forgive the treason committed, first and then tells him gives him a pill to make him forget what she said. It is a petty behavior, considering that so exaggerates the dose that her boyfriend falls asleep and forgets everything before I give you his forgiveness.

But I can not really hate her as a character, because it came into something that can not Healthy exit. In no way can you leave out of the house when Torchwood detach from work.

Gwen is the only one to have a private life but was held up first by a very understanding guy, then a bunch of lies and then a pill that causes amnesia.

is a shred of life that she holds firm to survive and find a breath of fresh air every time he crosses the threshold of the house, but in fact the talk of her boyfriend and his boring life could not never go back to before, after all he has seen. She was committing treason because they do not has no one to be able to tell the things he knows, no one to share them, and so chooses to weave a relationship with Owen (a member of the group) to not feel alone anymore.

And I understand.

Owen Harper is a man seemingly rather superficial, tactless and direct jump to any point of transition in the middle just to get to the point. The decisions it takes are almost always impulsive, but very hard to stop it is with the media than by words.

Besides being very strong is snarling, combative and angry. Proud and stubborn to the point when he says something, but not to renege on what he said, goes his own way even if it takes him where he absolutely does not want to go.

has hidden faces that pop up suddenly and character that make it the least reliable of the group: one is a tender love and care, the other a son of a bitch who shoots a friend in cold blood. ;

Toshiko is a single woman and very fragile. Although his mind was racing as fast as the processor can write mathematical formulas and the speed of light, KO is placed almost on the relationship between Gwen and Owen to whom she is in love with for some time.

Caution is in love with a man who is his friend, but who knows if he wants to be cruel and biting his tongue as to say ugly things.

And she is a woman so alone, for the work she does, she likes the same boy that sometimes hurts her sexually and that he never even considered. But he is the co-worker and the only one with whom to share everything he knows.

The mere report, Although brief, the show will be with a girl you know who you are and what makes the trade, making her feel, for once, understood and given an opportunity to be herself.

Toshiko has one of the most unsettling experiences you can have: for a while 'time will be able to read the minds of his friends and we will read such ugliness that will cause an incredible disappointment.

yet learn from that experience that also read the minds of people, it is said that you read us the truth. The thought is made of moments, moods and fractions of seconds, you can not condemn a friend even if he once thought of sending you fuck off and thought that you're a pain in the ass, this does not change the good that you wants.

emblematic of the fact that only one of which Tosh is not able to read the mind is Jack, I do not know whether to interpret this as an ability to Jack, since when do want to talk about in the mind of Tosh or if Jack is able to avoid any thoughts if this is not strictly necessary and related to the work of the moment. Nel'immortalità you have to learn to silence the mind.

It remains the last of the group, what I love more, but that unfortunately is still quite dark and inscrutable.

Ianto Jones.

for love He is guilty of a crime and not just a murder, committed not by him but which can be described jointly responsible. Thanks to the great actor who plays him, Gareth David-Lloyd, on its face appear a bit 'all the signs of his suffering, for lost love, Lisa, and for what proved to be Captain Jack is not so easy to manage.

is able to fight my friends, if need be, to assume the responsibility of making decisions, to be strong and not let go at the moment of greatest despair and look like a kid excited when Jack calls out to dinner.

is a man who is afraid and therefore a creature absolutely true. Tremble if pointing a gun and feared the consequences of rash actions while maintaining the clarity of mind enough to be always helpful the group.
