I've seen 'Exit Wounds' three times, and it really wrenches my heart to watch it. JB mentioned his his book how surprised they all were when Tosh and Owen were killed off.
I didn't like CoE - I preferred Happy Campy Escapist Torchwood that didn't take itself seriously, not Character Destroying Srz Dramaz Avec Child Torture Torchwood. Nevertheless I shall watch the first episode of the new series, no matter what spoilers or pre-publicity might say. It might - just might, and that's a very BIG MIGHT - surprise us all and actually be good.
I don't know though - previous to CoE, RTD only wrote one episode of Torchwood, and to be honest I don't think he should have as much claim to it as he does. As far as I'm concerned the creation and development of the characters was more Chibnall than Davies, since Chibnall actually wrote them.
But legal is as legal does, and here we are. I shall give new Torchwood a chance and see how it goes, but I have ... doubts, let's say.
