Nah, I don't think it's weird.

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
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.
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
She was all mousy but obsessive and all scary bright and then bruised and dirty. I wouldn't have predicted that was her look.

Interestingly, her clothes got a lot better after she started working for Torchwood. I wonder who was responsible for that.

I have decided (just now) that Suzie helped her with her clothes when she noticed that Tosh was crushing on Owen. But to her credit, it's now second nature for her.

Too bad we couldn't see how Jack recruited Suzie.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Probably want to show them all before Who starts next month
Well, technically they don't have to start Who then.
No, but it is scheduled, and they probably want the momentum to carry over, as at least the adult part of their audience is likely watching both.

Well, if you assume they scheduled Who first and then shoehorned Torchwood into the gap left, but why do that?

I think there's a different motive for moving TW, at least in part: the new series of "The Apprentice" starts next Wednesday at 9pm (Torchwood's timeslot). So actually the BBC are being kind to TW by moving it; Apprentice always does pretty well, ratingswise.
But yes, this way TW is also over before the new series of Doctor Who starts (12th April, last I heard).
Friday is a much better fit for TW anyway.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
We don't have sweeps. Or advertising on BBC. BBC scheduling is a bit of a mystery - they burn things off all the time, or skip weeks seemingly randomly. Buffy was one of BBC Two's biggest rated programs, and they used to take it off air all the time to air snooker and such.

BBC scheduling is a bit of a mystery
Is there a UK content factor that has to be fulfilled? (Such as with Canadian radio having to have a certain % of Canadian content?)
