We knew this was a retooling of sorts for the show, designed to attract a MASSIVE new and shiny audience, and it has. There are literally MILLIONS of people watching series three, who have NOT seen either series one or two of Torchwood.
And what have these shiny new viewers learned from Children of Earth? Well, see there's these three people in Torchwood, one's like from the future or someting, one's the married pregnant chick and let's just hammer the point home really quite bluntly with neon signs and anvils and such, that one over there? In the suit, see him? IANTO?? IANTO'S THE QUEER ONE.
Have you all got that? Yeah? Good. Right... let's kill the queer one.
Seriously. It's very tasteful, that, Russell. Nicely done.

I'm a huge fan of John and Capt Jack..BUT..I'm not interested in the Jack and Gwen show. Lois will probably come to the revamped TW and be the new PA.

It's not going to happen. This makes me sad.
