Torchwood- BBC America

[tarotgal]

Apparently BBC America has absolutely no intention of running Torchwood Season 3.

Start the e-mail/letter-writing campaign now!

From the Barrowman list:

WTF?? Do they not enjoy the ad revenue generated from their top ranking BBC import ever?

Screw them. If they're going to be this stupid, I'll just download the uncut, commercial-less versions. I prefer those anyway.

Seriously. This smacks of utter stupidity. I was guessing they'd take the 5 days and air it over 5 weeks or something. What I'm really worried about now is will this impact getting Series 3 on US DVD?

ARGH! I need one of those 'Ianto Jones demands an explanation for this bullshit!' icons...

Well, someone's biting my head off over on my other LJ: http://katekintail.livejournal.com/73227.html

And then we have the other extreme here with your outrage. It's great :-) I think it's probably true that they'll pick it up, just don't want to make the announcement yet. But you'd think with the previous success they'd jump on it immediately.

Wow, that person seems almost deliberately obtuse...like they enjoy giving lectures or something. Ouch.

Similar stuff is going on over at torch_wood too. I jumped over there right after I read your post.

I'm pretty sure they'll pick it up, but if not, Sci-fi probably would. Either way, I'm still downloading because I have a fundamental distrust that American media might end up cutting something or editing things, and I'd like to have the BBC copy just to be sure I'm not missing anything juicy.

I seem to be having a lot of knee-jerk emotional Torchwood reactions lately. *G* Sorry about that! I just watched a new teaser clip for DW 4x12 though, and 'HOLY CRAP!' is all I can say...

*insert gaping fish mouth here*

They what? The news has been out that there's going to be a series 3 for a while now, you'd think they'd know whether or not they're going to pick it up. And as much buzz as I was seeing around MediaWest and as much as I see around my friendslist, I can't think that it'd have a small enough audience that they wouldn't find it worth the money...

D'oh!!!!
