Torchwood -Declassified (Spoiler thread)

[Kabukiman]

Children of Earth arrived today on Blu-Ray!!!!

...but my PS3 is still out for repair (again)

I just watched Children of Earth for the first time....damn what an ending. I haven't watched Torchwood at all...and noticed they had all 5 episodes of Children of Earth on On Demand...so I watched them all last night...I was glued. Great story line...and again that ending.

 

[Kabukiman]

Just finished Children of Earth. I *really* enjoyed it up to episode 5. That ending, just, I don't know what to say. I know I don't like it, but I think that's the point.

I can do without seeing Jack for a while.

 

[pixletwin]

Yeah the ending was both a huge let down with Jack but on the other hand it was the only way... I think it showed how selfless (and yet cold) Jack could be...

Spoiler

Its going to make the series finale of Doctor Who this Christmas that much more interesting to see since it features a post CoE Jack.

*spoiler tag is because it reveals something about Doctor Who finale.

So I'm rewatching Torchwood Season 2 after I watched Children of Earth ( I know, kind of in reverse ), but I'm wondering if anyone has heard any news of a new season. Since everyone's pretty much dead and Jack gone, didn't know if they were even going to be a new season. Was just curious if anybody had heard anything about it.

Nevermind, just read Karma's link a couple of posts up.

I thought this was discussed here already, but I guess not. Sounds like RTD and Fox are going to try to bring Torchwood state-side: https://www.thrfeed.com/2010/01/fox-readying-us-version-of-torchwood-.html

Since it's Fox, I expect it to air episodes out of order on Friday nights until it gets cancelled a month into it's run.

 

[Memnoch]

Bad idea. Bad bad bad bad bad idea. Oh and here's a HUGELY bad idea:

Tranter might try to reboot “Doctor Who” for U.S. audiences

 

[pixletwin]

It won't happen.

 

[Memnoch]

It won't happen.

It better not. I don't see what the big deal is with just airing the newer stuff on a channel like NBC or CBS or something. Oh they have accents, whoo-hoo. Caption it for the morons if you must be do NOT reboot. Hell, I even think a US based Torchwood is a bad idea. Doctor Who is uniquely British as is Torchwood in a way that I just think new versions trying to cater to the US will fail miserably.

Sweeet! BBC and Starz co-production!

now I'll wait on the big box set

after the excellent children of the earth it woulda been a shame for it not to return

Hopefully it will keep up with that quality. It would be sad to come back with some Season 1 quality episodes.......

 

[Darren Carnall]

if they can make it anywhere near the powerful dramatic briliance of Children of Earth - then it'll be amazing

I can't wait. This is great news.

I ahve only really just started to get into Torchwood properly, i have bought series one and two on a whole but missed Children of earth when it aired on TV. I hope if they do a new series it still ties in with Who even if subtle refrences are made, i enjoy finding things on set that relate to the Doctor.

Adds creator Russell T. Davies:

It's very much the next step. It's not a new version, it's not a reboot. We're simply moving countries. The show was previously a format show — monster of the week. The breakthrough was "Children of Earth" and that it became one long story. It's not going to be 'Lost' and take 20 years to find out what's going on. It's going to have a most remarkable conclusion after 10 episodes.

Brilliant news!
