But you LOVE Turchwad!

I will downloads it for you! You loves that wacky show.

I'm finding it very hard to explain, both on this here internets and at home, all the reasons why I'm not interested in Torchwood: Miracle Day. And I don't like pissing in people's chips, either, so I'm not going to rant and rave about how much I don't care about watching it, the truth is I don't really care enough either way to even be vehement about it, and if it gets downloaded for me (lol, seriously, I still don't know how that torrent shizzle works, I am ignorant in these matters and just write things on post its and stick them to his screen), I'll probably give it a go. My main problem at the moment is that all the things that people are now, having seen screeners and such, so very excited about, sound awful to me. Seriously, the more I hear about it, the worse it sounds. But that's just me and YMMV and such.

But, I am the Torchwood prophet, of course, so here's your 100% God's honest TRUTH, it's not even a hunch or prediction, this one, but I guess you could call it spoilers, what with it being an ACTUAL THING THAT WILL HAPPEN, and it's this:

Jack is so dead. Are people actually debating this? Are there actual people out there who think Jack will survive this series? I don't like Jack enough to care, but I am finding it all terribly amusing and I am, of course, looking forward to how the Glee crowd will explain this one away, having said after CoE that Torchwood was about Jack and all the other characters don't matter and of course they're going to die. I shall enjoy reading all that shit.

Also, I am becoming increasingly worried that the whole Amy/Rory/Melody storyline in Who will be handwaved away entirely, and was, in fact, resolved when River said that stuff about the Doctor finding her and taking care of her and not to worry about it. Am I alone in this?

Well, River said I'm Melody and don't worry, the Doctor will find her and take care of her, and for some reason I'm now getting the feeling that what Moffat actually meant was that this part of the story is now done and Amy and Rory don't actually have any impetus to go and look for their newborn baby, because she's River and River's OK. Which would make me growl at the screen, but I'm getting the feeling that's what was meant.

The whole six-days-later thing with TW:MD and the Beeb makes it pretty clear to me that there is no funding forthcoming from the BBC for an American second season. Also, there was an article in Variety a few weeks back that confirmed that Bad Wolf productions had applied for and received 8 million dollars worth of tax relief from the state of California for relocating there for the second season. So, no, no BBC involvement as far as I can see if it should be renewed (though that's a pretty big IF in my book.)

Yes I'm surprised the Beeb are putting it in a peak time slot, although of course it's hardly peak ratings season. It may only be there for a week or two anyhow. Plus you're right, the BBC aren't going to be funding something that has got all this tax relief from California, it would probably be against the charter or something because it's our tax dollars, and there would be no British benefit at all to the production, whereas they probably got away with it this time by filming a few scenes in Wales.

Not sure what I think re Melody/River. It would be extremely creepy if the Doctor brought her up then had a relationship with her, so I would loathe it if they implied that. I think maybe they'll have a bit of angst, but probably Rory and Amy will leave as companions in order to be wherever the baby is, which presumably is 51st century somewhere. Not sure how that would fit with the child in the spacesuit.
