Wow, it’s rare that I disagree with someone on each point, LOL. Except maybe the aliens...the assassin said Jack gave “them” something—could it be his sacrificed grandson? Hmmmm....
>>> TW is just too adult for my tastes - too much weird sex stuff.
Maybe you can torrent the UK version.

It appears that fans of the British version of Torchwood won’t be getting an eye full of Captain Jack Harkness and an unnamed barman despite the fact that it apparently already been broadcast in the US on STARZ. The BBC bosses thought it was too explicit. This, from the network that included a full on nudity scene involving a post-op transsexual in a movie exploring transsexuality.
The Sun reports that a source, which hopefully wasn’t hacked into by reporters working for News Corp, that the executives felt that the scenes were just too sexy to show primetime audiences. The source said “It wasn’t that it was a gay scene that worried people, but just the fact it was such an explicit sex scene, full stop. You can get away with scenes like that on American cable channels, but you can’t on primetime BBC1.
A BBC spokeswoman did confirm that this scene was cut along with another that they deemed to be too explicitly violent. She said “The UK and US versions of ‘Torchwood’ are slightly different. However, these differences do not change the story in any way and the strong storylines are first and foremost to the series.”
John Borrowman did promise show fans that the new series would be the sexiest yet, and it would include “man sex” and “full-on” nudity.
The Welsh coastline: [Is stunning]
Rhys Williams: Not even lesbians could make a commune as charming as this one. I love it here.
Gwen Cooper: It’s been 759 days, 13 hours, and 41 minutes since my hands have felt the sensuous touch of a cold, steel firearm. Sometimes I think of choosing one, any one, out of our weapons stockpile and firing at you, just for giggles.
Rhys: What’s that, darling?
Gwen: Just talking to myself about radishes, like f—king always.
Helicopter: [Circles sinisterly.]
Gwen: Oh, please be someone I can shoot. Please be someone I can shoot.
Rhys: It’s not someone you can shoot.
“John Borrowman did promise show fans that the new series would be the sexiest yet, and it would include “man sex” and “full-on” nudity.”
Exhibitionists exist in both sexes (just look at Lady Gaga) but homosexuals seem to have an overabundance of them -not that this shocks people who aren’t afraid to describe them as they are.
All those gay parades were never about pride. They were about exhibitionists who loved to flaunt their strange sexuality in front of the world, and the way they dress and act in them proves it.
Barrowman seems to have acquired a great platform.
So, this new Torchwood doesn’t focus on weird thing coming through the Rift in Cardiff?
All of that was destroyed in the “Children of the Earth” episode, as well as the majority of the cast were killed for strange reasons...in anticipation of this new series, the Americanized version?
Like that the BBC of all groups is censoring the (too me) hardcore stuff that does nothing to promote the story or plot expositition...I’m all for wink wink nod nod looks between people, then let us use our imagination already! Sheesh.
