Then he says "The 21st Century is when it all changes"....and I squee'd a stupid amount.

I'd be interested to know if RTD considers them canon the way he considers the original radio plays canon.

Captanne August 22, 2016 Share August 22, 2016 Oh, my God -- I had to think back and remember. Is that the one where Ianto initially starts to shake his hand? As much as I loved Cyberwoman*, that kiss was for the ages but not sexy. *I loved Cyberwoman for the complications, hopes, dreams, and aspirations it engendered. Even her suit had meaning (homage to that Japanese anime guy) but the episode was too campy for me to love unconditionally. I loved it for what it opened up. (Ianto and Jack, Ianto's backstory with Dr. Who and Torchwood One, the Battle of Canary Wharf, how did he get her in the basement, all that.) Too bad they dropped the ball. :-( Of course, the scene with no kiss but beyond adorable was the first date invitation in the office.

Pete Martell September 14, 2016 Share September 14, 2016 The only thing I liked about CoE was some of the acting. The heretofore unknown grandchild and all the mawkish melodrama over it was a true low point for me with Doctor Who (which is saying a lot), and so was Ianto's death scene, which somehow had all the dramatic power of a wet fart, due to RTD's complete apathy about the character. I loved Ianto and yet I felt nothing other than complete annoyance even as I watched him die. Amateurish and direspectful. As for Barrowman's comments, if he really thinks Moffat is the reason Torchwood isn't back on TV, then I don't even know what to say. I can give about 10 reasons right off the bat, and Moffat isn't on the list. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/9061-torchwood-in-the-media/page/3/#findComment-2565476

I have since read it again -- and my bitter, bitter, bitter complaints still withstand the passage of time. I can't begin to explain how much I loathed that series but I sure as hell can tell you why. (Starting with the Muppet in a Box and ending with Pod(!)Ianto going after it with a pea shooter.)
