Thanks!

Yeah, which is more than I can say for the last two actors, sadly!

‘And for those of you who may not have heard, the companion is called Amy Pond. I had myself convinced she was a young River Song…. Shame.’

Pond . . . River . . . there might yet be a connection given Alex Kingston has been seen in paparazzi photos in the papers.

‘His new TARDIS…. meh. I prefer Chris’ and David’s. This one is too blue.’

They aren’t official posed photos, meaning they might well have been contrast and colour boosted. We have no idea what it’ll look like in a properly lit and graded episode. Similarly, the white windows and St John Ambulance logo returning to the exterior are likely related to this being the first regular Doctor Who series being shown in HD (as opposed to some HD specials riding on the coattails of the show’s final SD era) with a need for more texture and detail on the ship than in the past.

Guess we’ll find out in 9 months.

I love the new Doctor’s wardrobe. He reminds me of an old-fashioned schoolmaster or a professor at university.

I was really quite upset about Ianto’s death. However, I think RTD had his reasons. I think I read somewhere that RTD planned to have the characters on Torchwood with limited life spans. It makes sense with the hazards the characters face. RTD could easily bring back Capt. Jack and Gwen to form the nucleus of a new Torchwood team.

In non adult shows and movies people also die including main characters. On the other hand there are also adult shows and movies, where no characters are dieing or only minor ones. Killing characters is really not an attribute of an “adult” show. A death of a character can happen in all kinds of shows. It is often a way to get rid of a character if the actor don’t want to play the role anymore or when the character is boring.

I just think it is a very stupid decision to kill most main characters in such a short time especially when the cast is already so small, and when they want despite that still kill a main character it usually make more sense to kill a less popular one in this case Gwen.
There are many series which didn’t survive too great changes. Why risk that for no good purpose? Ianto’s death was unnecessary for the story, unlike Tara’s death in Buffy for example.

His new TARDIS…. meh. I prefer Chris’ and David’s. This one is too blue.

I’m convinced Stargate is heading the way of Star Trek a few years ago. Franchise fatigue. But I’ll be watching SGU come October. And Elyes Levesque from SGU is very easy on the eyes though!

And all you people who disagree with RTD’s decision to kill of Ianto? Grow up! RTD said originally that anyone who joins Torchwood would’nt reach the age of 35. I’m sick to death of people whinning since COE aired. I loved Ianto, but it was the right thing to do. Torchwood is an adult show. If you want to watch shows where all of the main characters survive past the cliffhangers, stick with Doctor Who and The Sarah Jane Adventures!
