Torchwood Shocks Our Nipples With Sudden Greatness
Wow. The latest Torchwood episode was amazing, and not just for this chloroforming, nipple zapping scene. If only "Fragments" had aired during season one, preferably as the second or third episode. It would have made the BBC's Doctor Who spinoff seem like a much cooler show, and might actually have improved the other episodes. Spoilers ahead! More »

Is The End Near For David Tennant On Doctor Who?
Rumors keep popping up about the BBC's time-travel show Doctor Who, including persistent reports that David Tennant will definitely leave the show before or during 2009's three TV movies, and a replacement has been named. (The show's fifth season doesn't air until 2010.) And now some drastic reports have popped up about the show's adult spin-off about a secret alien-hunting organization, Torchwood. Whether these reports have even a sliver of truth, major changes look increasingly likely next year. More »

Torchwood's Captain Jack Runs Away To Join The Circus
John Barrowman may desert Torchwood for the Greatest Show on Earth. Barrowman, who plays Captain Jack Harkness in the Doctor Who spin-off, is in talks to take the lead role in a revival of the musical Barnum towards the end of next year, providing scheduling can be worked out around his roles in both Torchwood and Doctor Who. This would be the franchise's second high profile loss to the stage recently; Who's David Tennant is shirking his Time Lord duties for the second half of this year to join the Royal Shakespeare Company for two plays.

Torchwood Does The Kissy-Fighty Dance
This clip shows everything that's great — and everything that's awful — about Torchwood, the naughtiest Doctor Who spinoff. First it serves up outlandish sexual innuendo mixed liberally with alien creepiness. And then it suddenly veers into drama and jealous bickering, which is really just the grotty barnacle-covered underside of campiness. Don't watch the clip or read below the fold unless you want spoilers for the latest Torchwood episode. More »

James "Spike" Marsters Double Fists It For Torchwood
The trailer for Torchwood Season Two is out today, and it features new cast member James Marsters flashing his physique, wearing a skin-tight shirt, sporting hair gel, and bringing two-gun action to the table as he tries to out-grin John Barrowman, who might just have the biggest mouth in the entire science fiction universe.

New Doctor Who Star Could Be His Own Worst Enemy
Could the Master be the new Doctor? That's what one newspaper is claiming. John Simm, who danced rings around David Tennant as the psycho arch-villain, is the "hot favorite" to play the Doctor when Tennant leaves. But it's unclear how the show could get around the fact that we saw Simm's body being cremated:If Simm is to return in any guise, the show's writers would either have to explain his resurrection or add him in another way. And if he is indeed to return as the Doctor, an even more ingenious explanation will be required to account for his transformation from the Timelord's sworn enemy to the central character himself - unless, of course, their facial similarities are entirely glossed over.More »

Must See: Torchwood
Must-see TV shows are futuristic classics that shouldn't be missed. Of course, not every must-see is perfect. That's why we've rated them 1-5 on the patented "crunchy goodness" scale.Title: Torchwood
Date: 2006-present
Vitals: A secret organization in the Doctor Who universe hoards alien artifacts and uses them to "arm the human race against the future." Mostly, though, they shag each other and then argue about it. More »
