Roomie and I are halfway through Torchwood Season 1, and my favorite character by far is Owen. By very, very far.

Does that make me a bad person?

Owen is teh sex.

Short answer: Yes, because fandom says so.

Long answer: No, because he's the only one of the lot of them with any sort of consistent character development or personality. And Burn Gorman is easily the best actor on the show. And I say that as someone who hated the character.

HAHAHA, oh Owen. Beloved by a few and hated by so many. I'm sorta... on the fence with him. I have hopes for a better season 2?

I have no Torchwood icons on this account. This is a crime.

Owen is so much awesome, because he's so. Damn. Human.

He comes with all the flaws and problems of a real person! It's brilliant!

Hehe. Owen's such a bastard. I like him, too.

I love Owen! This was the first Torchwood-related argument I had with people and had to officially ban Owen-bashing in my journal. He's just most believable and relatable of the characters in terms of his reactions to situations and his coping and defense mechanisms. Although the tables do turn a bit at the end of the season leaving me rather uncertain of what to expect from S2.

Nah... hated him at the start, tolerated him for most of the season... then he got his heart broken and suddenly developed into a real, interesting character.

Which is pretty impressive, given the resistance built up by the initial "He's the new Jack! He's Teh Sexy! You love him. Everybody loves him! You love him, right?!" push (down our throats) he got.
