Enter this new abomination, where the stops are all out. You shall tolerate gratuitous, graphic, prolonged gay activity on-screen and like it!
Well, no.
And I will change channels when commercials for it pops up on any other network.
Here is additional reaction from another thread :
Discussing what I now call the Gay Softporn Handbook and Propaganda Manual BBC Show...
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.
Yeah I know what you mean. The original wasn’t so bad but the new one is not even to the edge. I agree it is gratuitous and that aside even the show just isn’t that compelling. They also had a very stupid side track with a Tea Party representative.
