DOCTOR WHO
Doctor who is amazing. If you haven't watched it already, you can catch up here, and watch every episode from 40 years past. What I'm talking about is the newer series, where doctor who animation and plots are the best. You're not by any means going to be starting at the beginning- the doctor was never a farm boy, and doesn't have a rise to glory. I've watched all of them, and it is everything I could want in a TV show.

| DAVID TENNANT! |

| matt smith. |
Meaning I've finished Series 5! Matt Smith breaks in after a heartbreaking ode of goodbye to previous doctor David Tennant. David Tennant had an amazing way of sauntering, leaving his enemies in completely stunned silence, and lived up to the ancient persona when the time came for it. However, I don't think Matt Smith will never have that. Granted, he's younger and more fun, with a small tie and a thing for overalls and bow ties("Bow ties are cool.") but I don't think he's living up to the legacy. Amy Pond is his companion, a overall good companion that seems to have a little bit of the Doctor's past companions within her. Dramatic and amazing as it's ever been, but with a brand new sonic screwdriver and TARDIS interior, I'm not sure I will enjoy it as much as David Tennant's reign, which it seems to have completely left behind. I'll just have to see.

TORCHWOOD
Spinoff of Doctor Who, this show is closer to home and less squeamish about blood. This is the third Torchwood group with 5 members, and positioned under a rift in time and space that runs directly through the city of Cardiff. Captain Jack Harkness, a futuristic Time agent and con man from Doctor Who, with a dashing smile and a long coat like the Doctor's. When the Doctor's companion Rose looked into the heart of the TARDIS, she brought Jack back to life. And since then, he can't die. He can be killed, but he can't die. After lying dead for a moment, he gives a gasp and returns from beyond the grave. His Time Vortex Manipulator broke after sending him back a century or two, and the Time Agent he has been forced to live a few hundred years until he reaches Earth's present day and sets up Torchwood. On the team who knows nothing about him, he has Ianto Jones, the butler who is knowledgeable about everything in Cardiff and is practically a member with all the action he gets, Toshiko(Tosh) Soto, Torchwood's tech savy mastermind, Owen Harper, doctor and clown, and Gwen Cooper, a former policewoman and main character. Upon seeing Torchwood bring a man temporarily back to life and another killed by an alien, she eventually finds them out and is drugged with an amnesia pill. She wakes up forgetting everything, but when she finds them again, they let her stay.
All kinds of alien life and technology are falling through the Rift at all times, and Torchwood tracks down the threats to either imprison them and uses them to humanity's advantage. Weevils are sewer resident humanoids with large heads and fangs, a constant job for Torchwood. The ressurection glove, made of a special metal, brings people back to life for a short period after death. The special knife that enhances the glove's power if the person is killed with that blade, made of the same metal. Stun guns are Torchwood made, as are the ear communications and traditional handguns.
More violent than Doctor who, but give it a try, same link at the top. Just look under Torchwood.
