So, yes, news of the new Torchwood being co-produced by Starz and the BBC is great. So are the new cast additions -- including Bill Pullman, Lauren Ambrose, and Wayne Knight (Newman!) -- and the return of Captain Jack.
I did see a humorous quote, however. "A universe in which fictional characters aren't 'allowed' to die is ridiculous and limiting... When death is a reality in a drama, the jeopardy is greater [and] the stakes are greater. In Torchwood, anyone can die. That's a good thing."
I've no quarrel with Ianto, and I admire the writers for (liberally) killing off main characters . . . but . . . anyone can die, huh? Are you sure you thought that statement through?

Yeah, I pretty much do. If you like, you can add "absent either a drastic change in the legal situation or a near complete about face by Starz and the BBC".

Starz still has the deal with Netflix, and you don't really have to wait. I know that Spartacus (Both seasons) had episodes posted the day after they aired.
It is possible they will do the same with Torchwood. :=D
