I liked Tosh, too. I think I cried when she told Owen she loved him in her video at the very end.
That was just so sweet.
I dunno who they'll get as the geek, but I hope it's someone that's really geeky and not just goofy.
You're probably right about Martha now that I think about it.

Everything is rumors at this point...since the rumors contain major spoilers for Doctor Who, I'm labeling this as *SPOILERS* and not even attempting the white font. You've had your warning.
******* It's rumored that there will be new characters. The doctor for the team will be a new blond lady. I think she will be a little dorky, if I remember correctly. Then the computer geek will be a guy, who may be a little chubby, if I also remember correctly. But as I said, these are only rumors...it's also rumored that Martha and Mickey (since he will be returning from the alternate dimension with Rose and Jackie) from Doctor Who will be replacing them. I doubt that will happen, since if Martha comes on...she'll have to be one of the lead characters, and not much of a supporting role. I would prefer new characters. Although it would be nice to see Martha get sick of Gwen and give her a good slapping.*****

love doctor who
hate BSG, only cause I loved the original series
but I don't care as long as you're talking sci-fi 
I'm not too crazy about Martha, but I'm sure I'd get over it.
If the Unit is a show already, do you think we'll get it over here any time?
Oh, but you can love both BSG's!
I'm not a huge Martha fan either, but I could grow to like her.

I know I heard someone else say there is a toned down version of Torchwood, but I think America loves her debauchery and if we can blame it on someone else (like the BBC) then so be it. Any excuse...
I haven't been keeping up with rumors about Amanda Tapping...I think there was a recent release of direct-to-DVD SG1 movie, but I'm not certain of that.
The only thing I remember is that the actors for Dr. Jackson and T'ealc formed a company (maybe production but not sure) that I was hoping would come out with some new sci-fi stuff.

Amanda's contract (which was a leftover from SG1) expired and the rumor is that Woolsey will be appointed as the new commander to appease the IOA.
The direct to DVD SG1 movie is called "The Ark of Truth". It's was filmed shorty after the TV series wrapped, and it's pretty good.

This is turning into a general Sci-Fi thread, not that I have a problem with that. I'm just waiting for someone to bring up Robin Hood, since they show about a million commercial for the new season.
So was last week the last Torchwood of the season? Do we know when the new season starts?

It was the season finale...I dunno when the new season starts or at least when we'll get the new season over here.

I don't think they've announced when Series 3 of Torchwood will start filming, let-alone airing. My guess, if I had to make one, would be that Series 3 will air in early spring of `09. But with the BBC's odd ways of deciding when to air things, and the fact that Doctor Who's semi-hiatus will probably give Davies more time to focus on Torchwood, it's hard to say what will actually happen until someone at the Beeb leaks it.

BSG does sometimes have objectionable content, but it's more intended to fit the storyline than I think Torchwood's is. Torchwood's objectionable content is all tied up with Russell T. Davies being obsessed with creating the first gay/omnisexual hero on a scifi show, and that's why we get the overkill.
Jack needs to be injected with something to calm his overactive phenomes, so that everyone with whom he comes into contact won't find him absolutely irresistible. It's been ridiculous since day one.

The rumors over at Outpost Gallifrey said that Martha was going to be in Torchwood next season, and that Jack's role will be cut back some. I'd love to see Mickie in there too. The finale blew me away, I was shocked at Tosh's death, figured Owen would die because he had already done that this season. When he was loosing it in the room and Tosh started to cry, wow. Can't wait for episode 4 of Who this weekend.

Oh, I totally forgot to mention this last week.
Nice little vague shout out to the Doctor Who TV movie in the second-to-the-last Torchwood Episode. I kept hoping that they'd show San Francisco on the New Years eve broadcast, but of course the UK would be ahead of us here in the States. Still, Jack could have come in the next morning, laughing about how Y2K had been such a big deal, only to find his crew dead...and San Francisco celebrating the New Year's could have been on the TV in the office.

I think I indulged a tear or two. 
or Cylon or whatever...
and if so, they must've shown them fairly close together here.
