Torchwood series 4 details

Christ on a bicycle, how did a thread about Torchwood end up becoming nationalistic dick-waving? Let's stick to the topic at hand (you know, that Torchwood show) and leave the geopolitical discussion to other forums. ;)

Why should this thread be different from any other? ;)
 
Have you actually been here or are you getting all your information from the interwebz and books?

So now you're just engaging in nationalist attacks? "No one can say anything factual about the U.K. unless they've been here! We're too sacred for anyone to be able to learn about our country otherwise. Facts are now wholly dependent upon visitation status! Truthiness!"

No, Dimesdan, I have not yet had the good fortune of visiting your country. I want to, very much -- it's the country that my great-grandmother came from when she came to the United States, it's the country where we still have a branch of the family living, and it's the country that we have a cultural connection to in our family. I have every intention of visiting the United Kingdom at some point once I have the money to do so.

No then? Are you a lawyer or something like that? Using eighty-two words when one would have been fine :guffaw:

and for your rant in your first paragraph, read into that question which ever way you wish, I was curious if you've been here or not.

Wow stupidly over sensitive or what - Sci may go on a bit but there was nothing wrong with his original post, get over it. I say that as a Scot and a Brit!
 
I think season 4 has great potential to be quite good with the writers they've announced. I'm overly excited to see Doris Egan's episode(s)!

So, I think Torchwood series 4 will be shit. Anyone else have any predictions?

I think it will go to shit after they Americanize it and the characters start waving pistols and driving big SUV's...er, wait.

I'm hoping that with most of the characters gone and jumping across the pond that there will be a spark of creativity and excitement that will spill into the show. If nothing else, I'm interested in seeing what they are going to do, so even if it's shit I'll enjoy analyzing it, and if it's good then of course that will be great. I don't see it being worse than Series 1 and 2 though whether that's damning with faint praise is up to the individual.

Yeah, lose the Welshman and there's a quality writing staff there. On the downside, his controlling everything is probably enough to crush any potential for competent storytelling, and Barrowman's a reason to avoid anything in my book.

I wonder why there's no Chibnall. He's the veteran TW writer, surely. Maybe they're realised he's even more talentless than RTD.
 
I only watched TW out of a sense of obligation since it was a DW spin-off. S1 and 2 were brutal with a couple good bits here and there. CoE made up for that in my mind but S4, Americanised, is not something I'm looking forward to. I'll watch it out of curiosity but really, RTD and Barrowman do nothing for me.

Good for you. Timby asked for that tangent to stop, both myself and Sci have done that, so does a Lieutenant trump a site mod all of a sudden?
 
Bones naysaying. wow. i. am. so. shocked.
[/sarcasm]

People calling Bones on expressing his opinion. wow. i. am. so. shocked.

I have a low opinion of RTD and Barrowman too, as low as, if not lower than Bones'. Can I be mocked too please? Pretty please?
