To be honest, while LOLcattery might be going a bit far, it's still reasonably plausible that it might appear someday on this show. This is the show in which if you make out with someone right after they've died, they might come back to life.
Here is my patented introduction to Torchwood, just in case you're intrigued:
Essentially, there's a secret base beneath a Welsh landmark in Cardiff, where five extremely overworked individuals protect the world and scavenge alien technology that has fallen through "the Rift", a hole in time and space located nearby.
They are:
Gwen Cooper: POV character, joins Torchwood from the police in the opening episode. Second in command, annoyingly fond of making sure Everyone Shares Their Feelings. Otherwise generally badass. Is the only one in a stable relationship (for a given value of stable) with someone outside the team.
Owen Harper: Team medic, sacked from last job for sleeping with his patients. Some debate about Owen still, because of an event in the first episode that can be interpreted as date rape. Not a nice guy in other respects, but occasionally adorable so we forgive him (some of us). At this point in S2 he's technically dead, but still keeping active thanks to some alien technology.
Toshiko Sato: Technological whiz, very lonely, huge crush on Owen. Could do way better, especially now with him being dead and all. Tosh doesn't get many storylines and when she does they are sometimes very lame. Sadness, because Tosh is awesome and, according to Ianto, "warped on the inside".
Captain Jack Harkness: Team captain, time-traveler from the 51st century, omnisexual, will make a pass at anything that moves and some things that don't. He looks thirty-something but due to a series of unfortunate events is 1. immortal and 2. close to 200 years old, having lived through the end of the 19th and all of the 20th century (he is not undead, just...can't die). Fought in both WWI and WWII, wears period clothing. Currently, canonically, shagging...
Ianto Jones: General support, everything from body disposal to coffeemaking. Wears subdued suits with very loud pink dress shirts. Used to work for the Much Larger Torchwood London, until it burned to the ground. Is thus a woobie, as was one of 27 survivors out of 800+ employees. He used to be background noise, but now gets all the really good sarcastic lines and has been known to kick significant ass.
