When the announcement was first made that "Torchwood" would return for a third season on BBC One, fans received the news with whoops of cheers and excitement.

What could be better? The "Doctor Who" spinoff series, which broke BBC Three records when it launched in 2007, would migrate to the big leagues of prime time terrestrial television.

They should go back to the episodic format from the first two seasons. I wouldn’t even mind if they resurrected the old team and told stories from before Children of Earth. I liked the Owen/Tosh dynamic.

Likewise. If it comes back I want the same format or as close as possible.

It was right to the point and none of the Dead Owen stories that brought down Torchwood in season 2 imho..

The Dead Owen was a bit long winded but I did like that he went out a hero. The soundtrack with that scene is very good. To me, all of the Torchwood music is great listening. Captain Jack’s Theme is probably my favorite on there.

Children of Earth was Brill! The best television Sci-Fi this year at least. I think the 5 show format kept it from being mired down with filler.

Dead Owen did go on too long if they weren't going to find a way to fix him, and from the tone of the show, you knew they wouldn't.

They do have to start replacing people. I find it hard to believe that all this "stuff" controlled by a secret organization is in the hands of 3 people. Now down to Gwen, and most of the stuff is destroyed.
