Torchwood Season Four

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] ann_tara for the news!!


“Season Four of Torchwood is a Go On Starz”

I really enjoyed “Children of Earth” despite all the tragedy, so I'll be very curious how things will proceed after the events of the mini-series. I'm excited by this news, because there is not enough sci-fi on television.

While I completely understand why people were so upset by "Children of Earth" --hello, could you imagine the same thing happening to SGA? I found it to be great writing and drama, except maybe for the way certain things happened. But British TV is always willing to go in those scary corners that American TV doesn't.

I'm not into the new Doctor, but I must admit that I only watch some Doctor Who(ten) because it's tough for me to swallow the low rent special effects. I ended up being more of a Torchwood fan because the team feel.

British TV is wonderful; the dramas are much better written and acted, the comedy's can be silly, but they can carry off adult content so much better than the childish Americans. I watch BBC America more than any US network. I think if CBS didn't have the original CSI, NCIS and NCIS LA, which is growing on me, and Criminal Minds, I wouldn't be watching anything. I would have watched Rockford; NBC blew that!

As for the cheesy special effects on Dr. Who..that is by design now...may have been by budget in the original series. That touch of camp gives it a different edge. But I love Torchwood for the characters and for the very interesting stories.

OH...more scifi...good scifi, please!!!!
