Season 2 group photo - FYI

Due to inept editing by the original graphic artist in assembling people who were not actually together in the same room, that group photograph was discussed on the blog Photoshop Disasters in 2008: http://www.psdisasters.com/2008/11/torchwood-retractable-thumbs.html#disqus_thread I thought some of you might be interested.

Homosexual, Bisexual,Omnisexual

Over the last couple of days I've seen a couple of edits/reversions similar to this. Can the participants stop because it's verging on an edit war over this section of text. => Spudgfsh (Text Me!) 12:06, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The term as used in the show doesn't mean anything outside of the show, at least to the uninitiated. In fact, it only means anything to fans of the show who have read a lot of interviews with John Barrowman. "Omnisexual relationships" might please fans, but it's not really a theme the show explores. "Gay and bisexual relationships" is both true and simple.Zythe (talk) 12:20, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to me the Tosh/Mary relationship in “Greeks Bearing Gifts” was the furthest the show has explored that theme. (Despite Captain Jack’s amorousness toward every sapient lifeform in the universe being a running gag on Doctor Who, he doesn’t get to flirt with aliens much on Torchwood.) I think we should delete the word because it’s not a “prominent theme” of the show, but not out of mere kneejerk language purism. ~ Röbin Liönheart (talk) 19:38, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Disdain of flabby language is perfectly justifiable ;) Zythe (talk) 14:52, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
