Default Torchwood discussion (spoilers)

It seems a date has been set.
October 22, 2006.
To be honest, thats all I've really got to say....But I'll pad it out some more.


Did you know that Torchwood WAS infact the codename for Doctor Who while it was filming?

Oh! And it's gonna be on BBC3 by the way. If it does well, expect it to be moved to BBC1 and all the violence and good stuff removed.
But this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torchwood
-Seems to be the best place to find the information out.

Heippa!

I'm very much going to wait and see. The Beeb have done similar sort of things before (most recently Strange and Sea of Souls) which have been of distinctly variable quality, but I remain vaguely hopeful all the same, if not just to annoy Valium some more.

Well, at least we know why there's "no money for alien planets". I hope it fails, TBH.

Well. It's been sort of variable so far - the first two episodes were pretty good, three was okay, and this most recent one (otherwise known as episode four) had a very good idea but fell down in the execution. I'm liking the characters though, even though it turns out that Captain Jack is in fact Captain Scarlet (I was tickled, I can tell you). I'd hardly list it among my favourite shows at the moment, but it's entertaining and it has the promise of getting much much better.

From what I've heard, it sounds dreadful, and I'm quite glad I have repeatedly forgotten it was on.

Frankly, I prefer an adult show to be, well...adult. Rather than just being labelled 'adult' for the sexual content, which sounds ridiculously overegged.

I did like 'The cyberwoman' Episode. Not too sure about the rest. I did think I would like it more than I do...I mean I was a fan of Buffy and then liked Angel...
I'm not sure, but the show seems abit up itself...
However the later episodes seem quite exciting. I'm looking forward to the final one...
I do like the fact that the characters didn't just pop up in this show. They have links. Ianto Jones/Torchwood One and Toshiko Sato was in 'Aliens of London'.
I really would like the doctor to pop up there one day though. Show them that even though they are this crack team (Or think they are), they're still only amateurs compared to him!
