Torchwood season 4 greenlit

I'd like to see back in the same format. I fear another 13 episode run would be back to monster-of-the-week shenanigans.
 
^I agree that 13 eps might see a return to S2, but to be honest after CoE I don't think that's a bad thing. If they try and replicate S3 I don't think they'll be able to pull it off so it might be best to go for something completely different. A 13 ep series that mixed S2 style eps with S3 style eps might work if they can balance the light/dark (though s2 wasn't exactly cheery!)
 
why not both?

the story of jack returning to earth, which could take half a season, while Gwen is trying to rebuild Torchwood, while nasty aliens are slowly taking over everything...

I want to see a crossdimensional torchwood war, like sliders or how they did a couple years of excalibur in the beginning... but that would mean that Mirror jack could could show up with any one in tow, from Mirror Suzie to Mirror Jo Grant.

Then of course, if Captain Jack is in Space, they could always get captain John to help out?

Yeah, that's how they killed Sliders too!
 
they should bring him back, and then kill him 30 seconds later, just to annony the fangirls, or make it all Jacks dream.

that said cant believe I have not made this post yet, but this is not offical conformation, and I will not believe it until I see it on the proper BBC.
 
While I've been very happy with Torchwood the last two seasons, I'm left uncertain as to the direction of the show after Children of Earth. The various scenarios already dicsussed here don't really appeal to me, so I'm not sure what I'll get out of it. I'll just have to wait and seen.

I approve. This must be done.
 
At this point you'd almost figure that the UK populace would demand a huge Torchwood type program on the scale of TW London seen in Who, I mean how many alien invasions can they forget?
 
you have to wonder how well known UNIT is actually known, its clearly known by cops.

This is an organisation who's HQ has a big sign by the road that reads "UNIT Secret Headquarters" in at least two of the Pertwee stories...
 
Hey, it's the 21st century. Everything changes. For all we know, UNIT is now a household name, the guys who usually dealw ith alien crap. You know, they have their own flying ship and everything.

Torchwood Cardiff was pretty much known to the locals.

as for how well known is UNIT, Cydle did not seem to know about UNIT until Sarah Jane told him.
 
Hard for Torchwood not to be known by the locals. They drive around in a big, black mysterious van with TORCHWOOD written on the side.

Well, they did.

"Bloody Torchwood!"
 
I dunno folks ... I was at the Dubuque, IA Best Buy tonight to finally pick up my copy of CoE. Along with Planet of the Dead, it was released in both DVD and Blu-Ray today. One copy of CoE left in any format in the store. I bought it -- it was Blu-Ray. Planet of the Dead was the same. Torchwood S1 and S2 were also released on Blu-ray today. There were no copies left.

So when my cashier (a friendly, but slightly bobble headed brunette college student) asked if I found everything OK, I complained about how few copies there were. She said to me, "Yeah, what is this Torchwood, anyway? I've sold a ton of copies today!" Outwardly, I tried to explain. Inwardly, I fistpumped.

If this is any indication, the DVD and Blu-Ray sales should certainly justify another season.
 
I actually like the Blakes 7 comparison. With Gwen doing her best to reassemble the team and carry on with the mission. Naturally Jack would stagger in around mid-season just when things were looking their worst.
