I’m not saying doctor who is the height of gay representation or anything but I will say that when the reboot started back in 2005 (the same year supernatural started airing) this was the first kiss the title character had
“See you in hell” just sent me into hysterics, thanks for bringing this back
i feel like it’s even more important to note that [SPOILERS!] jack harkness, the handsome pan dude you see kissing the main characters here, ends up being turned immortal and gets a wholeass spinoff series after that episode as well as become a recurring character in future doctor who series. the literal opposite of bury your gays.
say what you will about Torchwood (Jack’s spinoff) but every single one of its main character were canonically queer and for that reason it’ll always have a special place in my heart
Torchwood was a hot mess of a show, but honestly it couldn’t have been anything else. It’s entire premise was that a group of bisexual disasters (plus whatever Jack is) who are unbeholden to any authority fuck around with alien technology and just sort of hope it end up working out for the greater good.
You are not going to get a cohesive narrative out of that. You are not going to get tightly woven, intricate plots. You are going to get bisexual disaster number one hiding their cyborg girlfriend in the basement while totally making out with his boss. You’re gonna get bisexual disaster number 2 engaging in hot lesbian sex with an evil alien while being in love with her co-worker. You’re gonna have bisexual disaster number 3 literally fuck his way out of a fistfight in the first episode. Also he dies and comes back as a zombie, and this in no way negates the feelings bisexual disaster number 2 has for him. (And then, of course, you’re gonna have Jack.)
These people have no idea what they are doing. Their boss is an immortal thot and they’re all just along for the ride.
That is the best summarization for Torchwood I have ever seen.
