Torchwood and other replacements...
fannish5: Five characters that replaced departing characters, and whether you considered each a gain or a loss.
- Tosh and Owen on Torchwood. They were interesting characters, so their loss is a loss. On the other hand, I like it that the story evolves, that the characters aren't invulnerable, and that seriously bad things happen. Tosh, I loved; but she ( Read more... )
Krycek was amazing. I wish they hadn't just wasted him in the end - but that's when they were starting to just waste everyone. I loved Skinner too. X-Files at its best was so wonderful that it was a double blow when it becaume dull. I felt bitterly betrayed. I don't even remember the stuff about Scully being pregnant - though I know I watched at least some of it. I remember it vividle when she had cancer - that was so dramatic. And "One Breath". That was brilliant.
The point of no return for me was when Mulder found out what happened to his sister and didn't care any more.
I think it would be great to have a shape-changing alien at Torchwood. Actually, they have had aliens (or at least non-humans of sorts) working at Torchwood - I'm thinking of Adam, who would have been fine if he hadn't been an evil and manipulative mind-wiper, or James in Border Princes, who was reasonably dull when he pretended to be human but very cool indeed as a Border Prince.
It would be fun to have Jenny join Torchwood, but I'm pretty sure that isn't going to happen. (I wish, though.)
As for making Janet smart - yeah, that would be fun. Let her learn English and take Prozac and follow a vegetarian diet. I'm sure Gwen could arrange a fashion makeover for her.

And I have cats named Mulder and Scully, so you KNOW I cared about that show at one point. The show went away but the cats remained, their personalities oddly reminiscent of the characters from whom they rec'd their names.
