Yes Theta this is being heavily discussed on Facebook and Twitter at the mo.

I think everyone has jumped to the conclusion (early) that it means Season 4 will be done that way, but as far as we are aware, it still comes under the jurisdiction of the BBC.....

There is also some speculation that S4 may have some of it "shot" in the States as a time travel storyline, but would primarily be based in Cardiff....

As that article states, early days!

I think they know that if they want to "pull off" an Amercanised version of TW, they NEED Captn Jack.....

Good point.

I just think we need to give it a chance before we all decide it is crap.

It is like anything, you have to view it first before making judgement.

Yes I understand the point about the British Empire, but who knows what guise this US version will take.

I would prefer to see it successful, rather than run Torchy into the ground.

Hmmppffhhhh, and good luck with that I say.....I reckon John would consider pulling out altogether if they tried that one on....

Jack is omnisexual, and as far as I'm concerned, there is no changing that.

I wonder if Capt John will make an appearance, that might get some more american fans watching - no doubt ratings are all important in the US and RTD will need to keep them up as the US execs will cancel anything if the ratings are not up to standard.

Ruthy, I guess a trip to the US next year on location scouting instead of Cardiff eh?

I've seen plenty of Aliens in Cardiff lately, but no need for Torchwood to investigate, its just the locals!
