Gwenwood

Well ... a 'promotional image' of TW has surfaced, over on SFX (I haven't read the interview because it's with RTD, and I'll probably just get angry).






So ... erm ... yeah?


WHUT DA FECK?



Composition with only two subjects has to be of the same 'status', otherwise the picture leans. See how the skyscrapers they tried to balance it out with LEAN because the right side of the image is taken up by SMALL Jack since there isn't enough room for him next to DOMINANT Gwen. Maybe the skyscraper will fall on him and bury him for a billion years so that he can't interfere with Gwenwood.

Why did I promise myself I'd watch the first few episodes of this? I hope to GOD some kind of MIRACLE happens and something DECENT is produced, because I won't be able to get those hours of my life back.




EDIT: At least I got my new series of 'Animals at Work', and I have to say there's far more interesting drama in chicken-guarding alpacas than in RTD's left horn!

The picture might not be a genuine promo, but every interview RTD has given since the end of Children of Earth suggests all too strongly that what the suggestion of “Gwenwood” is not all that inaccurate. Both RTD and Eve Myles have been recorded in interviews as saying things that suggest Torchwood is going to revolve primarily around Gwen, and that Jack will be there as (pardon the expression) eye candy to try and hold on to loyal viewers.

It can be argued that the picture is just a magazine mock-up, but I’m tipping that it’s a perfect pictorial representation of how RTD views the new Torchwood.
Seriously, why doesn’t he just declare Torchwood dead and buried, and rename it Excalibur? After all, isn’t that what he’s wanted all along?
