Speaking of which. The U.S will be getting Torchwood at the same time as the UK. Season 2 premiers on BBC America on Jan 26th. :D

Major rumours about Torchwood's third season

Spoiler:
The only confirmation so far is that the series head writer Chris Chibnall is leaving to helm Law and Order: London, and the series will take Doctor Who's time slot and be "toned down" significantly. Barrowman and most of the cast are rumoured to be departing, leaving only Gwen as the series lead with Martha Jones keeping the connection to DW alive

If Barrowman leaves I have no reason to even watch it. Bah! :ohwell:

Mr Frobisher – a civil servant who is hiding a terrible secret
Would that secret be that he is in fact a shape shifting alien known as a Whifferdill and former companion of the doctor who generally prefers to be in the form of a penguin????. :D

I mean I can only just hope that he is indeed my fave Doctor Who companion.

It's about damn time. Seriously. How dare they not have a season of anything Doctor Who related this year?

TheCanadiandrome 07-03-2009 10:21 PM
is this a cross over with Doctor Who? will the Doctor be involved?

Isn't Torchwood a spin off from Dr. Who?

No.

TW is signfiicantly darker than DW and isnt intended for kids. Besides, it's hinted in the "Blair Witch"-esque promos that this as one of those instances where The Doctor is leaving the human race to clean their own mess up...something he's done in the past. There are eras of contemporary human history where he's never shown up to help

No worries Anarky, the third season of The Sarah Jane Adventures is premiering in September, complete with a crossover featuring David Tennant as The Doctor...plus there's a new animated Doctor Who movie, "Dreamland" featuring Tennant.

ok, cool. well it still looks pretty sweet, so i think i'll be watching this for sure. first time for me to watch TW

ZariusTwo 07-11-2009 01:12 AM
Amazing...simply amazing. These Five incredible episodes kept the team as victims or at best the very problems the goverment were trying to quell.

Spoiler:
This instalment played all the right cards. Repugnant characters became the heroes of the hour (The Cabinet women, Floor Thirteen), heroic characters reverted to emotional detachment and moralless tactics to save the day (Jack killing his grandson, using him as a weapon to destroy The 456), and sympathetic antagonists became utterly reviled in their cowardly actions (Frobisher killing his family and himself)...a good strong dossier of decision and indecision as reality hit all of them in a different way.

The 456's intent, a chilling combination of pedopheilia and drug addiction (pre-pubescent children's fluids are like heroin to them)...there cant be anything more devious...oh wait, there is...humanity confirming with supplying them with their fix, not to mention Jack's own actions.

Ianto dying was particulary awesome, it was caused completly by Jack being a wise-ass and using one of The Doctor's classic, philsophical-laced "declaration of war" bluffs designed to scare or distract...only for The 456 to call him on it and released a pathogen that killed everyone in the building. Smooth one Jack.

The flash-forward seems reminscent of LOST too...setting up Jack's apperances in the final two David Tennant specials. With a fourth season announced by RTD (it hasnt been confirmed yet), it seems likely it'll explore that six-month period and how the team rebuilds it's numbers.


If you have children..make sure you don't place them anywhere near Captain Jack Harkness

discordiatookie 07-11-2009 04:59 PM
Definitely one've the best things i've seen on telly this year.

If not the best.


Very dark. I couldn't help but feel quite ill watching it. Y'know, in a 'what if this was really happening?' feeling.

Spoiler:
I loved the hopelessness of it all. Even when Torchwood were down and out, they fought back, never giving up. But when it all backfired, it was f**king horrible. Ianto dying and seeing Jack give up like that, up against an enemy they had no way of defeating. I was seriously questioning if they would manage to pull off saving the kids. Of course they did in the end, but what a ride! I can't help but wonder: is this the end for Torchwood? Hopefully the Doctor will be able to persuade Jack to return to earth and start again. And hopefully that Lois lass will be given a full-time job with the gang!

TheCanadiandrome 07-12-2009 03:47 PM
dang you guys got to watch it already? do u by chance know the air dates for North America? unless i missed it

Roseangelo 07-12-2009 04:34 PM
Spent last night watching all 5 parts. Simply amazing! I was a little doubtful about this move for the third season, but that was totally worth only 5 episode of Torchwood this year.

BBC America is airing it in a couple weeks. However, if you're resourceful, international boundaries are meaningless. :)

doomiscool 07-12-2009 04:54 PM
It was very good, I watched it all over the week with my family. The ending was very dark, but I was kind of glad it was seeing as my sister thought there was going to be some magic reset button activated by the end so none of it happened. :D

Spoiler:
The only thing I found a bit odd was it was supposed to be the worst 10% of children they chose, so why were the children so well behaved about going with the army for "injections" If they were truly the rowdy percentage of children, they would have revolted and tried to escape, they certainly wouldn't have got orderly onto a bus then stand quietly while they wait...

It'll be airing on BBC America on June 20th.

I liked it in parts but MAN was it sad and depressing. Especially eps 4 and 5. Oi...

If a 4th season is picked up it'll be interesting but we'll be seeing Jack again for the Dr. Who christmas specials.

TheCanadiandrome 07-24-2009 10:32 PM

Spoiler:
thought i read that this was suppossed to be the start of another season of Torchwood, but this looks like the end. what happens now? there's only one member of the team left, Jack's gone, so what happens now?


has there been any news?

ZariusTwo 07-24-2009 10:53 PM
It wasnt the start of a new season, it was the WHOLE season

Season Four is being prepped at the moment.

Raph's Girl 07-24-2009 11:48 PM
Aye...that was the whole season. Jack will be returning in the Doctor Who Christmas specials.

TheCanadiandrome 07-25-2009 01:06 PM

saiyan_monkey 07-26-2009 03:35 PM

Considering one of Torchwood's harsh realities is "you die doing this job", don't bet on it.
