Torchwood, what's Torchwood? [quote]Torchwood is a Doctor Who television spin-off. An in-house BBC Wales production for digital television station BBC Three, it is the first television spin-off of Doctor Who since the pilot of K9 and Company in 1981 and the first to be commissioned for a full 13-part series. It originally features the adventures of the Torchwood branch located in Cardiff and later the Torchwood team that succeeds it, and is set on Earth after the events of DW: Doomsday (and for lead character Jack Harkness the events of DW: The Parting of the Ways).[/quote] [quote]Important Shit. Jack's not immortal, he's invincible. Meaning even being blown up would not kill him. There are five different Torchwood Institutions across the world.[/quote] Characters? Season 1-3. [b]Captain Jack Harkness[/b] [quote]Captain Jack Harkness was the name adopted by a Time Agent and con man from the 51st century who became an associate and occasional companion of the Doctor. He was made reluctantly immortal by the Bad Wolf and stranded on Earth from the mid-19th to the early 21st century by putting too much strain on his vortex manipulator. During much of that time, he worked for Torchwood Three until its destruction in 2009.[/quote] [b]Gwen Cooper[/b] [quote]Gwen Elizabeth Cooper was a Cardiff Police Constable who was recruited by Torchwood Three, and eventually rose to second-in-command and, for a short while, commander of the unit.[/quote] [b]Owen Harper[/b] [quote]Owen Harper performed medical and dissection duties for the Torchwood Three team. Moody and forthright, Harper wasn't slow to show his dissatisfaction with Jack Harkness' decisions.[/quote] [b]Toshiko Sato[/b] [quote]Toshiko "Tosh" Sato applied her scientific skills to the Torchwood Three team, after having worked for the Ministry of Defence. Beautiful, brilliant and insecure, much of Tosh's private life remains a mystery.[/quote] [b]Ianto Jones[/b] [quote]Ianto Jones was a member of Torchwood Three, initially serving as more a "support man" or "tea boy", but later taking a more active role in missions.[/quote] Back story on Torchwood, spoilers ahead if you haven't watched much Doctor Who. [quote][sp]Founded in 1879, Torchwood was designed to be the main defense again extraterrestrial threat and to capture The Doctor. Why? Because the Doctor pops into 1879 and saves Queen Victoria.[/sp][/quote] The good, old Torchwood spinoff. Not the new Miracle Day one. No talking about Miracle day unless it gets good.
There's already been a thread. [editline]24th December 2011[/editline] Also Jack is immortal not invincible. If he was invincible he wouldn't be able to take damage.
That thread died.
[QUOTE=Zarjk;33876944]That thread died.[/QUOTE] Yeah, so? Bumping doesn't incur the death penalty.
Miracle Day was terrible and I hope it doesn't get renewed.
Jack just manages to get put back together no matter what happens to him.
