I've tried to use S1 and 2 to make sense of the characterisation in CoE, but I can't make it happen. There's just this big void between the end of S2 and CoE. CoE really was it's own story, it's own characters and it's own motivation, and I wish it hadn't ruined Torchwood.

I won't watch any new Torchwood. Partly because of a lack of trust in RTD, but mainly because I like sci-fi. If the millions of new viewers really liked sci-fi, it wouldn't be the poor relation it is, but they are the only viewers who matter now.
