No word on when/if Torchwood is being released in the US. I pray for BBC-America, who would probably run it relatively uncut.

Boxed Set, Vol. III: "That Can't Be Good..."
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Yeah, you just know that if Torchwood were broadcast on SciFi, they'd cut out the best bit (and I think you know which bit I mean) from Ep. 12.

Very funny, Matt.

I don't think it would work on Sci-Fi at all. it would be cut all to hell. i don't watch BBC America all that much, but since it's cable i'd say it's a better fit.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
SciFi and BBCA are both basic cable.

Well, in one sense. . . but in another they aren't: I get them both via Digital Cable only -- so they are standard for Digital Cable in my area but they aren't available to people who just have regular cable. (Cable has too many classes, doesn't it?)
What would be really great is that BBCA could run it and then put the less cut up versions On Demand. (As they did with Life on Mars.)

Well,on a meta level that may have been the part I was most enthusiastic about, since I loathe Owen sufficiently to viscerally want his Fred-on-Angel style death that ain't nobody being brought back from.
In terms of actual quality moments within the story, I'd pick the immediate return of Captain Jack's original personality upon traveling to the 40s, and the menace when it was revealed that Billis Manger existed in both times. I could see what they were going for with the real Captain Jack's carpe diem revelation, but the actor reminded me too much of Fred Gwynne for me to get into the moment fully. I was subconsciously waiting him to call for Lily or Grandpa in Herman Munster's voice the whole episode .

not in my area. BBCA is digital. and frankly, cable could show a lot more than it does. Have you noticed the subtle proliferation of cursing? still no "fuck", but you'll hear "shit" all the time on Nip/Tuck, for example.
