I think I have to make that same resolution (especially since these days, I'm unlikely to be baking unless I'm bringing something to a party *g*)

As for Torchwood, well, yes...there is a Captain (Jack Harkness, to be precise), although he wasn't the one giving someone the date rape drug (that was a guy named Owen, who works with Jack) and it wasn't presented as charming...although he didn't really have to pay any penalty either.
And yes about the jennyo prompted racial issue (and yes about the kerfuffle, since it's equally true that there aren't many people of color as regulars on the show *and* that as British t.v. barely acknowledges that Wales exists, the fact that it's set in Wales with many Welsh characters *is* counter-balancing standard racial issues...in England.
Basically though? Torchwood's a secret-ish earth organization, made up of people who are the first line of defense against...aliens. Also? there's a lot of drinking and sex. :)
