Torchwood

[excentric397]

In reference to the new audio episodes. I think I'm over it. Either that, or it's just that as much as I love Captain Jack (and JB), it's just not Torchwood without Owen, Tosh, and Ianto. Like Miracle Day wasn't really Torchwood, and even COE seemed to be the characters names played by the same actors, but actually different characters, if that

Same here. It was never going to be the same once they killed off three of the five main characters. In my mind once they killed off Ianto that was the end for me. If there is no more Ianto, Tosh or Owen I can not find it in me to have anything to do with Torchwood even for Jack.

The fact that Gwen, the weakest and most pointless character that on any other show would have been the first to be killed managed to survive just made me hated the idea of more Torchwood without the other three. Torchwood lost what made it special when they killed off Ianto, Tosh and Owen.

Mind you, I'm pretty sure they'll use the whole team (either set in the past or something new, I'm not sure). I read the article and it said something about the screenwriter being delighted at the prospect to work with the whole cast and that it was all going to be 'intimate' and 'focused' on the characters. And GDL said that he was up for it, too, so I think it'll be all of them. Or, well, I hope so.

And something else I hope for? If this is a success (which it will be) I'm really, really hoping for a new season. Preferably with the entire cast in place, because it's never been a secret that MD had much lower ratings than any other TW series.

There's a post on Tumblr

that only lists JB in the cast from the original torchwood.

There's some question on the post, though.

I assume you've heard by now that Gareth will read the second part? There are pictures of him in the studio as well. They announce them bit by bit, I am quite confident that the others will turn up as well. Gareth's is coming out in October already even, instead of having to wait till January as originally announced. And that he is second after John should tell us something

(I already left a comment but wanted to answer to the last paragraph personally; hope you don't mind) I completely agree about COE. Everyone was so out of character and from the little I've seen from MD, it only got worse from then on. But, like I said in the other comment, from what I'm hearing, they're going to work with the entire cast or at least the bigger part of them, and Ianto is mentioned whenever the questions arise, which is my hope.

I actually happen to love Gwen, but it's not a very popular opinion and really, people will be more for that if there's everyone - especilly Ianto - involved. Even RTD can't be clueless enough to realise that he's the fan favourite and therefore the key to success in this.

Comment away. I'm good with that. :)

If they are all in it, I will be thrilled, but I am not keeping my hopes up. We've been messed with before.
