But he is creator, and still writes for Who and has overall story control.
I heard he was leaving soon and hope he does, just wanna know how long I have to wait.

I've just watched all the episodes from the start for the first time (4 day marathon), and in a bit, I'll let you all know my thoughts on each of them 
But, I've just read through this entire thread, and some of the comments regarding same-sex relations are way over the line. I'm not gonna go into details or pull people up on it on what has already been posted, but I will be taking action should any such comments be repeated.

This season of TORCHWOOD has officially lost me. Started good and I may give it another try, but in general has lost me.

It's not a patch on Dr Who, even with Catherine Tate in it.

I think that it's too different to even begin comparing. That may be why a lot of Whovians have issues with it. It's an entirely different series. It's been designed so that you can watch and understand it without ever having seen Dr Who. Yes, there are a few references (I need a special kind of "doctor") but nothing that would confuse anyone.

It links well, with nice little references (note the 'New Mayor of Cardiff' picture in the last episode on a door with the Slitheen lady who posed as Mayor in Eccleston's series).
The Cyberwoman also was a good tie-in.
I think though that fans thought a spin-off would be as good or better then Who considering being post-watershed allowed for greater violence and generally scarier villains. Thus far it has not delivered much on that front.

But my point is you can't say it "better or worse" than Who, as the two are just not comparable. They are entirely different series, and if you set out expecting "Dr Who" then you will automatically be disappointed. It's not Dr Who, and it doesn't try to be. It's totally different.

I agree with halibut. Torchwood was never meant to be Dr. Who with more violence and sexualisation. Think of it as more like the X-Files but set in Cardiff.

So what happened tonight? Tuned into BBC3 at 21:50 but no Torchwood on, just a really bad episode of Tales of the Unexpected.

Meh, it was OK. Still a lot better than a select few of the episodes from Season 1.

This season is really entertaining me. Just a great laugh (diliberatly lol) and good fun.
The Ianto/Jack dynamic is great, everyone is getting great character development. Martha coming onboard for a bit was great.
Just a really fun show this time around. It reminds me of when I used to watch buffy on the beeb.

I don't see what the big deal is over the whole Jack & Gwen thing. Why is she so much more special then any other weird life form that Jack has had?
She's not even the most attractive female member of the Torchwood team.
Rumours abound that Martha is to have a permanent role in Torchwood after this series of Dr Who, so perhaps Owen really will die and not come back

TORCHWOOD lost me for a few weeks, but they have me back slightly with this week's BBC3 episode. Nice premise with the old cinema and the circus people.
How long it's going to be able to keep me this time however remains to be seen, but it's doing better than last season.
