Who exactly would watch a US reboot of Dr. Who? The British version has been around for almost a half century... I'd think anyone interested in the basic premise would be aware of the still-in-production original and choose to watch that instead.
Wash: You want a slinky dress? I can buy you a slinky dress. Captain, can I have money for a slinky dress? Jayne: I'll chip in. Zoe: I can hurt you.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

Trust my rage
I think Matt is on to something. Who would watch American Who anyway? Even American Torchwood sounds wrong...

In an American Torchwood, Jack wouldn't get to flirt with absolutely everyone.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
In an American Torchwood, Jack wouldn't get to flirt with absolutely everyone.
And it just isn't Torchwood without that.

In an American Torchwood, Jack wouldn't get to flirt with absolutely everyone.
Which means snogging the boys would be RIGHT OUT.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Everyone in Torchwood had some same sex action. Jack just had the most. I can't see that persisting across the pond.

Does Medium discussion belong here or in Procedurals? Or is it just not discussed much on this board?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Maybe if it were on HBO or Showtime. Definitely not on Fox/FX.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Fox readying U.S. version of 'Torchwood'.
The hell?
