My $.02 on the Torchwood News

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.

Yeah, I sat through The Year of Specials because I knew we'd be getting Mofftiem at the end of it, but...well, Rusty's already killed off all my favourite Torchwood characters. (I mean, I like Gwen and Jack, but not the way RTD treats them, and my favourites were Tosh, Owen and Ianto, so...) I'm sure this'll just be non-stop angst and a whole lot of ~*darker and edgier*~ crap. I'll probably read spoilers online, but I don't think I'll bother to watch it.

Ianto was my favorite. I liked Jack a lot, but am furious with him being all "pity meeeee" at the end of CoE, and I never liked Torchwood Jack the way I liked Who Jack anyway.

Like you, I'll read spoilers online.
