You should totally watch Dr. Who and Torchwood. As it says in the article, the characters are clearly flawed but they are so--sooo much fun. They have helped save my sanity more than once during periods of hate-my-life.

That being said--I'm not a Gwen fan. I'm not a hater, I don't mind her and prefer to read fanfics without her being bashed... but I don't really care for her either. Now Tashiko...I really wanted to see more episodes of her being bad ass.
