Wait, I thought Torchwood was Gwen's show? She's the eyes of the audience, etc... etc... fap... fap.
Here I thought I was watching an ensemble show about a team led by CJH.
RTD and Julie Gardner once said that Gwen was the only one who gets a pass from death. I think they were being quite precise with that statement. The ONLY way Jack is going to survive this season is if they can up the ante on his man!pain. He's going to think he's finally free to live a mortal life but will have to give it up and save the planet, then live on in continued misery. Burying him alive for 2000 years wasn't quite enough torture porn. Let's make him suffer 2000 years above ground first!
Either that, or he's going to realize that he doesn't want to die after all, so they'll force him to die to save us losers and take down Big Evil Republican Government/Big Business (yawn).
I'm curious about the show, mostly to see how PC Andy (Sergeant, whatev...) fares, or how long it is before Rhys is killed/leaves with Anwen. I'll probably wind up watching it, just because schaudenfreude is so tasty!
It's all a pity, really, because I loved the train wreck of S1 and S2 so much. It was fun when it was Cardiff and five really messed up people you loved to hate and hated to love, scrappy and stupid but pulling it out of their asses anyhow. This stuff feels like Michael Bay was too busy making Transformers 20, so they made Torchwood without him.
