The most amazing and depressing five hours of televsion I've ever seen. I'm just staggered by how brilliant that was. Blubbering like a big baby too :)
I'm going to assume, at this point, that maybe Jack is going to be somehow involved with upcoming DW eps perhaps. With the kind of ratings they got for this series we have to assume they're coming back. Let's assume that, okay *g*
God yes! Depressing as hell, yet awesome at the same time and just wow! And Ianto's death hit me so hard. I was assuming no main character deaths, as you do, and waiting for Jack to breath life back into him as usual. Ouch!
I tell you Jack and the Doctor have way too much in common to ignore each other any longer. They will surely meet up. That'll probably make Jack the only character to have met Nine, Ten and Eleven. Awesome! :)
God that was good. I... was rather teary and I don't cry...especially not over Torchwood. *sniffle*
The humans that The Master brought back from the future with him to destroy the universe. They were inside little floating ball things. But when you open them up, they looked like little versions of the kid in Children of Earth that was hooked up to the alien.
Finally, someone on my f-list who liked Torchwood! I *loved* it - depressing as hell, but so much better written and acted than ever before.
As for another series, there's been no confirmation either way. But apparently the viewing figures in the UK were really good, so I wouldn't be surprised if it does come back, in the same five-nights-a-week format. I imagine that Jack finds some sort of redemption while travelling the galaxy. I think I read somewhere that RTD would like to have Martha and Mickey return but that depends on the actors' availability - doesn't seem likely given that Freema is doing well on Law&Order UK and Noel (I think that's his name?) has been writing and directing his own films. Personally I'd love to see Lois as part of the team, though.
Yeah, I really enjoyed it... in a depressing kinda way. There are people out there pulling apart the plot holes, when all I can think is that it's Who-verse. The point isn't the perfect sense as to the how and why, but, in this case, the moralistic complexity of the situation
( ... )
I wasn't sure about Lois in Day One, but loved her in the rest of the episodes. She could have easily ignored Jack and Gwen and gone along with her department's orders, but she didn't - and she was smart enough to piece things together on her own when Jack was assassinated.
Jack always was morally ambiguous from day 1
Yes, everyone seems to be forgetting that. I don't think the Tenth Doctor would have done what he did in Day Five (or in 1965), but I certainly believe that Jack would.

The difference there is that Doctor Who is aimed at a family audience and though possibly faced with the same choice, the writers would have given him another way out. I can see the Doctor altering his body chemistry in order to take the boy's place or somehow using the sonic screwdriver to rig a different... well you get the point. :)
And then...morally ambiguous anyway.
Lois reminded me a fair bit of Martha, actually. :)
I saw an interview (pre-S3) where they were talking about a possible S4. I think there would be a lot of re-imagining to re-make the show...but if it meant turning it into a show of the caliber of that there 5-parter, I'd be watching. That was seriously amazing, heartbreaking, saddening, in some ways all too true...and just amazing writing/acting! I really do hope they make another 5 parter...or do another DW crossover with Eleven and Amy.
