To say the truth BBC America started with the Gwen's ad but it is showing a Jack's ad as well these days.
I don't have an issue with John Barrowman/Eve Myles being the main lead in the show, but FFS I question the idea that anyone else is disposable and must therefore be exterminated.
Why should I bother if I already know that the main characters are so safe that the actors playing them are booked till they are 94 (to quote Eve Myles)??? Why should I be thrilled by TW knowing that:
1) Gwen will never have anything even remotely upsetting going to happen to her
2) Jack will suffer tragedy after tragedy but won't be affected by them in any way
Oh joy! Here we've got two extremely boring, dull, cardboard, 2D characters: super Gwen having everything going her way no matter what happens because "you cannot 'rape' Snow White" and immortal shallow Jack jumping from tragedy to 'let me entertain you' with my irresistible charm as I molest the next boy toy (while I really ache for the true love that is Gwen).
Are they going to have a bunch of lame red shirts to support them, lame being the key word so that we don't fall in love with them like we did with Ianto?
