    @oddrid: One of the things I love about Barrowman is he seriously seems like a huge fan who just happened to somehow end up with a job. He's as genuinely into the whole thing and as dorky about it as any big fan.

    The kiss was cute, but it was Barrowman's reaction that made this a clip for the ages. The fake faint just killed me.

    I'm manly enough to admit ... they are cute, plain and simple. Damn, I'm gonna miss David Tennants Doctor. And I seriously hope that Captain Jack will be back somehow. I don't want to have to watch Desperate Housewives just to see John Barrowman ...

    Except the part where the Doctor and Jack kissed at the end of the first season, but I know you mean the 10th Doctor specifically, so I'll let it slide and just add: Squee.

    He is such a puppy-dog of a guy. Usually people like that kind of annoy me, but I just want to scratch him behind his ears and muss his hair.

    Would I watch Captain Jack shag *everyone* on Wisteria Lane? Definitely.

    Haha - Kudo's to whoever said Teri Hatcher is an alien - I think its of the praying mantis persuasion myself.

    I believe Marc Cherry has said he has a story arc for the series for about half-dozen seasons. Hopefully he'll be more central to this particular season's story, rather than a permanent fixture for the couple of seasons the show might have left.

    Not that I'm aching for Barrowman to depart, but I would be totally revved for a Torchwood full of new Action Gwen, Lois, and a reincarnated Ianto. They'd be just fine without him, I think.

    In reply to Will ABC Soap Derail Torchwood Season 4?
    Whenever you have a character who's seen just about everywhere and knows just about everything (kof kof Doctor Who, Jack kof kof) it's easy to "deus ex machina" the plot into the ground. Some felt the end of Season 3 had that feeling to it; Jack pulled a rabbit out of his hat as it were.

    I'm wondering if Torchwood would end up being harder to write and perhaps a better show by going forward without Capt Jack.

    They'd still have quite a bit of their cool tech but would have to rebuild the place. And they'd hire Lois, of course.

    (If this is a dup, apologies. Been having a bit of trouble with io9 and Lifehacker today.)

    RTD loves Desperate Housewives, and i'm inclined to agree,

    but noooo! Gwen is good but she can't carry the whole thing.

    You know what sod him, have him regenerate somehow into catherine tate!

    there we are problem solved!!

    Why would an excellent actor want to be on a show as horrible and mindless as Desperate Housewives. My 4th graders can write better than those writers.

    @kherbert: DH is a top ten show, which means Barrowman can earn way, way more than what he earns in the UK and it will also get his beautiful face in front of Hollywood producers. We might end up getting the first openly gay leading man/action hero star if he does join DH. If that means he can't do Torchwood that's fine although I'd prefer it if he could somehow do both and I don't see why that should be a problem as DH doesn't film year round. Granted, it'll mean a longer wait for series 4 but they can give us a Torchwood special one time episode to make up for it.

    @kherbert: Because he's a fan of the show and wants to be on it? If you were an actor and had a chance to be on one of your favorite shows, wouldn't you jump at the chance?

    @brentbent (where's my supernova?): That's a damn fine point. If he gets more Hollywood exposure, we might get to see more of him. I can get on board with that even if it means casting him on a soap opera. I would even make the supreme sacrifice of trying to watch it. *shiver*

    Oh damn. If they add yet another actor I care about to the Housewives cast, I'm gonna have to start watching. Bollocks.

    On the other hand, I could just write fanfic about Lois Lane, Dana Whitacker, Mrs. Landingham and Captain Jack hanging out and playing poker. Shoe money tonight!

    @Elizabeth Weinbloom: I think Captain Malcolm Renyolds would have to make an appearance for that game.

    Nathan Fillon had a brief role as a doctor of some sort (I’m thinking gynaecologist?).
