Torchwood 2x01 "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang" Reaction

[@EternalPayne]

*Bloody Torchwood*

[@ZakJordan98]

Never gets old

[@TheDrugOfTheNation]

I have a friend who worked in Cardiff who said that that was a true to life moment, as the filming was not always popular.

[@EternalPayne]

@@TheDrugOfTheNation I live in Cardiff so like your freind said it's funny how accurate it is

[@acturek]

an image of Captain John Hart actually showed up briefly in the Peter Capaldi Doctor Who episode "Time Heist", when they were cycling through various known criminals. if you watch Sesska's reaction of the episode it happens at 11:21

[@JulietteReacts]

I was waiting for your reaction to James Marsters and you DID NOT DISAPPOINT 😂

[@firefly24601]

I know, right??? THE SPIKE LOVE IS REAL!!! :D

[@ihatemymeds]

I was, a little. Only because school reunion got a shocked "Giles" but James Marsden was just "James" and not "Spike", or even "William". Lol

[@beesly01]

I'd been waiting since she started, and prayed no one spoiled it.

[@JoeB17]

I love how protective you are of your Sugarbear, and yes I've been waiting for your reaction to James, he's so good in the role.

[@firefly24601]

When you're done reacting to Torchwood, you should look up the stories that John Barrowman tells about making out with James Marsters. John's quite a storyteller in general, but this a REALLY good one! :D

[@TheRedLittleGirl]

One of my absolute favourite episodes of Torchwood - it's just so much fun - and I've been so hyped about you seeing it because SPIKE!! :D Didn't disappoint. Aah. Your discussion was great and I am just really excited to see you go through this season.

[@Brytonrock]

I certainly enjoyed this episode with James Marston in it. I think the funniest exchange between Gwen and Capt. John came in the SUV. John" Oh my god, that gorgeous. What is it?" Gwen" That's a Poodle!".

[@CB-kc4it]

I'm so ready for series 2!! Best. Part. Of. The. Week!

[@louw185]

I had a similar moment of "Oh my god, it's James Marsters!" when I first watched Buffy a couple of years ago 😂😂

[@suncore598]

James Marsters is such a natural with that British accent. The fact he's actually American still amazes me.

[@gaynor1721]

Anthony Head (Giles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer) taught James Marsters to talk and swear like a Brit. I agree that James has nailed the accent and convincingly sounds like a Brit, unlike David Boreanaz's attempt to sound Irish. Can't imagine Spike (BTVS) being played by anyone else.

[@cameronmonaghan6883]

One of the best in the series. John Hart is my second favourite Whoniverse antihero, a character type that rarely appears in the franchise. James Masters has said that he is open to returning if asked and he should. Also I like the blowfish. Design and concept of galaxy class gangsters and party animals would be fun if they appear again. They did make a couple of extra cameos in doctor who. Overall a great opening to series 2 and proof that Chibnall needs to bring back Torchwood.

[@BulbasaurRepresent]

Who's your favourite?

[@bobsteele9581]

Yes - great episode. This series is really where Torchwood properly comes of age and starts to blow it out the water, before it peaks in series 3. Believe me your going to absolutely adore this series. Much more great drama and many more surprises await you. I much preferred Jack's more upbeat and less dark persona in series 2, after his "year that never happened" with the Doctor and Martha.

[@CaesiusX]

Season 5 of *Angel* is one of my favorites precisely because of the addition of _James Marsters._ His added chemistry to that group made it so much more entertaining.

[@mel.a.bicket]

I love how you call Ianto Sugarbear!! I'm so into it. James was sooo good in this episode. I was also a Spike girl.

[@SweenyTodd98]

I got the opportunity to meet James Marsters last year, such a nice guy!

[@simonbeaird7436]

And here he is! Captain John Hart! Available for seduction, general mayhem and really tight trousers..... Well you had Anthony Stewart Head in Doctor Who, so James Marsters in Torchwood. Seems logical to me.

[@jamesbelchertv598]

Preach!

[@MythicalSkull13]

He has a history with spike how exciting😆

[@LiamDuke]

I have long waited for this day 😂

[@gaynor1721]

I hope you're watching Liam's reactions to BTVS, Sesska.🤞🏻

[@zdcosner3766]

I was waiting for your reaction to seeing James Masters and I was not disappointed.😁 The kissing scene he had with Jack was so hot. Them kissing and then fighting afterwards perfectly describes Torchwood. Your mention of Torchwood feeling more like a team perfectly describes why this series is a huge improvement over the first and I can’t wait you to delve into this. So much to look forward to. Jack asking Ianto out was sweet and Gwen confessing on having to take charge in Jack’s absence is also nice. I thoroughly believe that you’ll enjoy this series a lot!😊

[@petepeteseattle]

It was like Christmas morning watching your reaction to this episode!

[@peterdrewer2574]

Jack's back reaction topped by John's entrance... :)

[@butterflygirl5365]

Love how even tho Jack can't die everyone's like " Oh damn, really ? AGAIN ??????? "

[@kemmdog4444]

I had a small feeling she would love this episode.

[@spacepenguins8939]

Series 2 Oh I can’t wait for what’s to come

[@jamesemery1232]

This is always a big highlight of my week!

[@JoshPinder92]

YES SPIKE!! I was the same when i saw he was in Series 2!! Ah so so ready for this series... cannot wait for these reactions!

[@mikemorgan2211]

I've been in the hospital for a few days and have missed your reaction. Glad to have a new one to watch now that I'm home

[@wereleopard58yepihavetwo2]

I love watching people react to Torchwood. It's still one of my favourite shows, one I still write fanfic for. I met Captain Jack (well have met him 3 times) and Ianto years ago. I met Tosh, Owen and Gwen last year. When they all get together they are a nightmare, in a good jokey way. I highly recommend meeting them if you can. I am meeting some Dr Who cast in Dec.

[@libbyford6765]

Without doubt one of, if not my favourite episodes of Torchwood ever

[@habitsrabbit]

That was my reaction to seeing James Marsters too. But I first Let out a high pitched "Spike!" I always liked spike more compared to Angel.

[@timewasting3372]

so hard not to do spoilers. on the upcoming series. hope you'll be entertained by it.

[@aureliaansah1462]

I was a Spike girl over an Angel girl too!

[@leilanyx]

oh my god, i deadass yELLed when i saw james marsters during my second watch through of torchwood bc i'd just finished buffy for the first time, and i let out the biggest gasp when i saw him and had to stop myself from actually screaming i was so shook-

[@blueashke]

I love listening to you theorycraft! My partner does the same thing with the book we're reading over the phone and I just sit there and grin stupidly at the phone.

[@ojwh1933]

I knew you'd enjoy this haha. Also, I appreciate the lack of Buffy spoilers. I'm considering reacting to it. 5:04 - "Is she turning over like a... new leaf?", one says hopefully. The random romantic tension annoys me too (emphasis on the "random"). I feel like that scene of Jack and John kissing and fighting in the bar just sums up 'Torchwood'.

[@chaospoet]

I've waited what feels like eternity to get to this episode and it did not disappoint!

[@ShelleyTemplar1986]

Once a Spike girl. Always a Spike girl.

[@MatgoStyles]

The building Jack gets pushed off is also the headquarters of Adipose Industries. 😎

[@DaveF.]

"No blonde, though. You need a blonde." Been so looking forward to you squeeing when James turns up!

[@djco5782]

James once told a convention story about how he got cut badly when they went through the glass during the kissing/fighting scene after he and John had convinced the Production Team to let them do their own stunt. Only John noticed, told James to go to his trailer, had a quiet word with the director and made an excuse, then "he got his own personal physician to come and stitch me up, take the [blood] stain out of my costume, get me back on set; no one knew *anything*, so John is THE MAN."

[@olive8126]

This is when the writers started taking the show much more serious instead of just ‘adult doctor who’. I can’t wait to see your reaction to everything for the rest of the show because it’s an insane journey

[@jeckjeck3119]

''Bloody Torchwood.''

[@Jamestopboy]

Judging by Jack's position at the beginning, he shot the bullet *over* Ianto's left ear.

[@AngelicMouseGirl]

Love Torchwood Tuesdays, so excited you've reached season 2!

I have so been looking forward to this episode. ❤️

[@12chapin]

Marsters is great in Runaways.

[@ilesalmo7724]

If you like James Marsters and you like Buffy/Supernatural-style urban fantasy, you should listen "the Dresden Files"-audiobooks he reads. He does a very good job especially starting the 3rd book.

[@archiefraser8927]

I'm super excited for John Hart's audio spinoff next year

[@spacepenguins8939]

Yeah the Jack Gwen thing is super weird and creepy

[@itsonlysound]

It's always been weird and out of place, like they're literally just putting it in there because its a male/female lead thing. It makes little sense within the narrative of the show.

[@FirlowXD]

[@troyboyblueuk]

My second favourite episode of the whole run of Torchwood... Ohhhh, boy, this will be good 😝

[@lotemylife3006]

I’m wondering what the team thought happened to Jack during the Year that never was

[@gareththomas9806]

Get ready for the season that made Torchwood great. Oh Dark as fuck but good

[@lurker1316]

It's interesting to me that they have James Marsters doing his English accent when A) that's not his natural speaking voice and B) Jack has an American accent. You'd think with him being an old friend of Jack's it would be reasonable for him to have an American accent, but they wanted JM to do an English accent anyway. He does a good accent, as far as my American ears can tell, but it just always struck me as a curious choice.

[@gaynor1721]

Incidentally, Anthony Head (Giles) taught James Marsters to talk and swear like a Brit. True story.
