Torchwood: Children of Earth

Just finished watching the 5th and last part of this mini-series on BBC America. Hopefully American television will eventually catch up to it's British counterpart. Everything about this show was awesome and it's good to see a gay male lead where his sexuality isn't the story. He's an immortal secret agent for the government working on top secret alien cases who just happens to be gay. There's nothing swishing or emasculating about the character's sexuality or his love interest who I hate to admit almost had me in tears when he came out to his sister by telling her, "it's not men. It's him." And Gwen takes her rightful place alongside Sarah Michelle Gellar's Buffy, Xena the Warrior Princess and Wonder Woman as kick ass ficitional females I'd go straight for. Watch this.
