Captain John

Photobucket
Well, as promised, the encounter between Captain Jack and Captain John in the first episode of Torchwood's second season yesterday evening on the BBC2 channel was very explosive and sexy. James Marsters as the swaggering vilain Captain John, another Time-Agent, was once again cast in a part where he is evil and adorable at the same time. From evil vampire to a vampire with a soul in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel" to a kinky murdering thieving sexy bastard you love to hate.
The Sergio Leone-like barfight and the violent passionate kiss right after shared between John and Jack rocked. Torchwood really is the late-night spin-off from the Dr. Who series. Much more adult and violent and it is clear that the people behind the show worked on Buffy and Angel as well. I imagine that lots of Torchwood viewers will expect and even demand that Captain John will become a returning character. In any case the ending of this episode promises more of Captain John. Looking forward to see more interaction between John and Jack.
