My $.02 on the Torchwood News
sjarl marker #2
To keep this from being entirely content free, and because everyone's posting their $.02 about Torchwood being picked up: (WARNING: I'm not squeeing)
Starz can afford it, at least. It shouldn't look or be cheap. And it sounds like John Barrowman and Eve Myles will get some free trips out of filming.
However, it's being run by the exact same team and RTD has already said that the first episode is "shocking and touching," for which I read "bloodsoaked and emotionally manipulative." As I still have not forgiven them for the end of COE, I intend to neither be shocked, touched, nor watching. Maybe if they get through without killing off 60% of the cast and torturing children to death onscreen, I'll catch up after.

If it takes off, it'll make a mint. And if they pitch it as gladiatorial games, well - I may be cheesed off, but I also know how well 300 and Spartacus did.
He's going to have to dump the entire Hub/Rift idea... or give the Hub wireless and open Rifts all over the world.
...huh. That might actually work, especially if they're going to suggest that they are traveling all over
the USthe world.so he can keep the people who started watching the old version as well as pick up the new.
Hrm. As many people were pissed off by CoE as loved it, I think, not that I've done a scientific sampling.
