The new series starts Monday and will be screened over the week.
I've seen the preview on the TV and it looks good. They have also had a couple of radio dramas broadcast. -------------------- Female Cenobite: "Didn't open the box." And what was it last time, "Didn't know what the box was?" And yet, we do keep finding each other, don't we?
Pinhead: Oh, Kirsty. So eager to play, so reluctant to admit it. Female Cenobite: Perhaps you're teasing us. Are you teasing us? Pinhead: Two minutes. Two centuries. It all ticks by so quickly. You are so very like your ancestors, did you know that? I have the distinct sense of déjà vu. The same defiance, the same faithless hope in the light? Dr Paul Merchant: And what do you have faith in? Pinhead: Nothing. I am SO exquisitely empty. |

Just watched the first episode and so far it's good.
Day two tommorrow. -------------------- Female Cenobite: "Didn't open the box." And what was it last time, "Didn't know what the box was?" And yet, we do keep finding each other, don't we?
Pinhead: Oh, Kirsty. So eager to play, so reluctant to admit it. Female Cenobite: Perhaps you're teasing us. Are you teasing us? Pinhead: Two minutes. Two centuries. It all ticks by so quickly.

Second episode, and its getting really good.
-------------------- Female Cenobite: "Didn't open the box." And what was it last time, "Didn't know what the box was?" And yet, we do keep finding each other, don't we?
Pinhead: Oh, Kirsty. So eager to play, so reluctant to admit it. Female Cenobite: Perhaps you're teasing us. Are you teasing us? Pinhead: Two minutes. Two centuries. It all ticks by so quickly.

So it's day three and the action is hotting up, its getting better and better.
Hope the producers can keep up the good work. -------------------- Female Cenobite: "Didn't open the box." And what was it last time, "Didn't know what the box was?" And yet, we do keep finding each other, don't we?

QUOTE (DarthMarley @ Jul 9 2009, 03:27 AM)  Queer...I can smell it! Yeah that was funny. There was some interesting stuff on day three, the fact that no leader wanted to speak to the aliens in case of a fuck up and how it would damage their political careers, so they sent in the midlevel civil service guy. The fact that they aliens want 10% of the worlds kids. -------------------- Female Cenobite: "Didn't open the box." And what was it last time, "Didn't know what the box was?"

Damn, that was a good way to end the series, from the looks of it, all that talk of a forth series was a smoke screen to hid the ending, there was even a couple of rumours online about the Doctor turning up to same the day.
So farwell then Torchwood the three series you had were for the most part very good. -------------------- Female Cenobite: "Didn't open the box." And what was it last time, "Didn't know what the box was?" And yet, we do keep finding each other, don't we?

I want more TORCHWOOD- a full season for next year, and hopefully they will plan 2-3 of these mini-events with the good captain!

KR IMO, I think that The Children Of Earth will be the last Torchwood as there is only Jack and Gwen left alive and Jack has gone crusing the galaxy so the only active Torchwood member is Gwen, Captain Jack is most likely to turn up next in Doctor Who, where he can get a hug and a shoulder to cry on. -------------------- Female Cenobite: "Didn't open the box."

My understanding is they will do more- based on the smash ratings!
So a new TORCHWOOD team is on the horizon guys. Remember the mantra: EVERYTHING CHANGES! KR |

Myles delivers a child in November, and barroman is booked up ontil Feb10.
There will be no filming with them for a long while. RTD is going to be stateside working on a DW feature film project in the near term as well. I think it will be back, but it will be longer than fans will like. -------------------- "Science is one cold hearted bitch with a 14 inch strap-on." |

Didn't the Doctor Who movie from 1996 teach them anything. that is a terrible idea, the last movie pandered to much to the American suits, wrecking the story in the process. -------------------- Female Cenobite: "Didn't open the box."

Yes, but the 1996 film was an American-British co-venture. My thinking is the feature film with supposedly Tennant as The Doctor will be strictly a British film!

IMO the only way there will be any more Torchwood onscreen will be a special or part of Doctor Who as the last series ended Torchwood really well.
Although there is still the missing Torchwood station and Torchwood Glasgow which could make for a special or two. -------------------- Female Cenobite: "Didn't open the box." And what was it last time, "Didn't know what the box was?" And yet, we do keep finding each other, don't we?

Bah. The story wasn't wrecked by anything but the writers. However, having to censor scenes with gunfire for the squamish UK audience did fuck the story up a bit, if yopu watch the edited version. But overall, UK science fiction is better than what Hollywood churns out. Except for Firefly. And Star Trek. maybe Stargate. In other words, all of the US sf tht doesn't suck. -------------------- "Science is one cold hearted bitch with a 14 inch strap-on." |

Personally,I think the 8th Doctor TV movie was massively underrated. I thought it was great.
Best wishes, Scott |

I enjoyed it,but the "Half human on my mother's side" bit may prove problematic.
