Found it on another forum, my expectations could not be lower.

It's fox, so it won't have no gay.

Firefly and Buffy the Vampire Slayer had LGBT subplots?

And Firefly was canceled after a single season. ;_;
YES STILL BITTER
Also Buffy was moved to WB I think.

Fox you say? I'm assuming all the aliens will be Mexicans...

And I thought the original Torchwood was shit...

It was as good as anything Russell T. Davies had his fingers in; i.e. very good but not as good as it should have been.

No, Firefly was cancelled after less than a single season. They didn't even manage to finish the first one. And Buffy started on WB; never was on Fox at all.

I don't know what to think. On the one hand, they're going to have to take out 98.5% of what was good about the original Torchwood to translate it to the American audience. On the other hand, they've still got RTD in charge. Hmmm...

So two negatives?

Bland shit that's ham-fisted instead of offensively bad shit that's ham-fisted?

I watched a little bit of an episode. I thought it was horrible, and turned the channel.

Never did watch Buffy. Despite my love for Firefly and Dr. Horrible's, I despise Joss Whedon. I hate hate hate hate hate him so much.

Also Torchwood, both versions, look like shit.
