I can't believe he said the portrayals of gays is much stronger in American TV, and used Glee as an example... Kurt is such a stereotype, and he's a virgin with no boyfriend, not exactly a good example.
To be honest, I thought Chldren of Earth was pretty final. But whatever, nothing is truly final in sci-fi I guess.
Seems like it could be interesting, but at this point there is practically nothing said about it.
Obviously Captain Jack is going to be returning to Earth, and obviously is going to be reunited with Gwen and they'll be making some new friends.

It's all the have the budget for with the international filming.
Starz is a premium cable channel so I'd assume it's be over 50 minutes per episode.
Not four and a half minutes per episode then? Sorry you put 4.5. Oh I'm so not as funny as I think I am...(don't all rush to agree with me please)
The United Nations don't want to be mentioned anymore.
At least, not in the foreground.
fangasm 
Hooking up with one of the premium US channels is about as good as it could get for Torchwood I would think. At least, I don't think they will try to tone it down, if anything, Starz might want them to jack it up.
It should be interesting, Starz has only just started to dip their toes in the water when it comes to original programming, certainly compared to HBO and Showtime. They haven't really had a huge hit yet so they might let RTD at it without getting in the way too mcuh.

Well at least there will be something to watch when Starz free preview week rolls around
And I've never seen a single episode...
It could still show up on BBC America after Starz has the first run like the BBC does with Ashes to Ashes. BBC America is still airing series two of A2A while series 3 on BBC in England is over.
Indeed, which seems completely stupid, IMO. The UN didn't care about being depicted as easily being duped by the Slitheen into authorizing a nuclear attack, but showing a top-secret alien-fighting military organization within the UN is taking things too far.
Of course, what I don't get is the UNIT officer in Children of Earth even says he answers to the United Nations, and no complaint was made there. So if the Unified Intelligence Task Force still answers to the UN, then why would they change their name from United Nations Intelligence Task Force. Within contunity, I mean.
My guess is someone at the UN just doesn't like Doctor Who. Why else worry about UNIT when they clearly don't mind chanting "so say we all" in their meeting hall.
I am in favour of serialization. I think Doctor Who could do with a bit more of it too.
I am wary of Torchwood becoming less British in terms of production if its trying to become a more global show but after COE I want more Torchwood 
I would assume to try and get new fans they would make standalone episodes mixed with arc episodes. Personally I would kick things off with a 2 parter then have 5 standalone episodes and then a 3 part trilogy episode to end the season/series.

I hope this does not mean that Torchwood will film most its backgrounds in front of a green screen

They've already said it'll be 1 story for the season.
Yeah, I was joking, Taking your idea that it might be 45 minutes per episode and making it a 45 minute series.It's all the have the budget for with the international filming.Man that's gonna be a really short story
