Damnation. I hoped there was to be no more, then I wouldn't have to make the decision whether or not to watch it.

I know. I'm pretty uncertain myself!

I am very pleased, if nothing else, then because new canon will hopefully help people move on from the whole Ianto debacle. (Don't get me wrong, it totally broke my heart, but there are people out there who are unhealthily obsessed with this.)

I know. I'm more optimistic with the BBC being involved than I was before, I just hope it is done well.

Ah, kinda good/bad news...

Anyway, gakking for my flist, thank you! *hug*

I'm a bit more optimistic with the BBC's involvement, but uncertain about the changes in location.

Your welcome!

I'm a bit so/so to be honest. But like you, am reassured by the BBC involvement.

Yes. I have to admit that my favorite members of the team RTD killed off, so I'm not that heavely invested.

Torchwood: coming back from the dead more than Jack

'So is Starz a better or worse prospect?'
It's better than Let's-Make-Jack-Straight Fox that's for sure.

As for it coming back, I'm not sure how I feel; I've pretty much moved on from Torchwood. Honestly, I thought TW was a good as dead because it's been gone for so long. RTD pretty much destroyed everything I liked about the show in CoE and his 'I don't need fans' and 'I love killing characters, except for the ones I like' attitudes didn't help. I might watch clips of first episode out of curiosity (we don't get STARZ), but I'm not going to become invested in any of the new characters and seeing how little RTD thinks of his fans would make it hard for me to buy dvds and such.

I thought they had to be, and was a bit more optimistic with the BBC's involvement this time.

I have to agree. All the characters I was interested in have been killed off. All three has such protential for great character development that was squandered. While neither Jack or Gwen really appeal to me in that direction at all. Neither of them seem to move from being, basically, the self centered people they started off as.

Pretty much. RTD COULD come up with new, interesting characters, but he's made it pretty clear that his characters are just canon fodder.

'While neither Jack or Gwen really appeal to me in that direction at all. Neither of them seem to move from being, basically, the self centered people they started off as.'
Same here! I fully expect New!Torchwood to be Gwen-heavy (like CoE) and Gwen is a character I've never been interested in at all because, like you said, she's never really grown as a character; which was a shame because there was a lot they could have done with her.

I'm seriously beginging to think that RTD is scared/cannot do character development, so kills of the interesting characters to try and cover it up!

[shinodabear]

My first reaction was a resounding NO! because I loved "Children of Earth" and didn't want that ending to be touched. However, part of me is happy to see Jack and Gwen again ... and that it isn't Torchwood!USA. I'm on the fence as to whether or not it will be any good, but ... it's interesting.

Thanks for sharing the news!

Yes, I'm in two minds about it myself, but will give it a try!
