Now this is interesting, it looks like "Torchwood" S2 is apparently going to be starting January 26 on BBC America. Simultaneously with the British schedule from the looks. Heh. They're finally getting clued in on us Americans not particularly fond of the obscenely long wait and are doing something about it? *shocked* More Martha on mah tv box sooner than I thought and legally!! YAY!

Some of the US reviewers actually seem to take the show in the proper spirit, namely as a trashy stupid good time, so irony is not in fact dead. :-) It seems reasonably un-chopped, as opposed to the Sci-Fi Channel completely gutting DW like a fish, but then you never know.

Heh. Somewhat amused TW seems to be doing the business here in a way Who can't seem to be able to. Certainly has a lot more publicity than Who (I've seen ads for "Torchwood" on USA and Sci Fi). IIRC, there's even a Torchwood magazine coming out here, if it isn't out already. Then again, TW only airs on the one channel, Who airs on several (but yeah, still don't see any sonic screwdrivers or plastic Daleks in Toys R' Us). If I'm right about BBCA airing TW S2 and Who S3 side by side? That will be interesting what it might do for Freema's career here. Especially if they decide to boost any of Who's marketing considering how well TW has gone for them.

I could live without knowing, truthfully. Maybe if I were more invested, but if there have been any cuts? *shrugs* However, if they do touch any of the Martha? That will get me falling back on the old reliable methods of Brit telly watching right quick.
