Man, I actually liked Rose as well, it sucked. I think Im gonna wait a few days on starting the next season. Either start Torchwood or just go ahead and start :lol

Skip Torchwood. It's really not worth investing the time into.

Go straight to Who. Don't worry about Rose, you know from the 50th that Billie Piper will be back in the future. :D

I don't like Torchwood much, so my opinion is to go straight to Who too. Besides, it's better to finish Who first.

I wouldn't say that. There are actually some really solid episodes in at least seasons 1 & 2. But there are just as many misses in there too. I think it's worth it for the experience you get of the wider Whoniverse.

Definitely watch it after Who though. It doesn't impact the show.

Yup, whether you watch it or not, I agree that it's inadvisable to break from Doctor Who at this point.

She will be? Sweet! I havent seen the 50th. Heck I started my Who watch back up lik the day it aired :lol

I love watching stuff that expands series' universe's. But I think I'll listen to you guys and finish up Who, or watch another season at least.

Alright, guess I'll start it tomorrow then :D

I'd agree with you on season 2 but I thought the first season was pretty dire. That was when all the show literally cared about was sex.

Children of Earth is the real masterpiece of Torchwood. Plus Peter Capaldi. Enough said.

Torchwood itself was a well-written show. You're going to get sex when you head (giggity) a team with Jack Harkness, but it was still really good. Even Abbadon. Children of Earth is a tragedy. In a very, very good way. I won't spoil anything. But the last half is completely gut wretching, especially Peter Capaldi's character's decision in the final chapter. One he didn't even have to make because of Jack's heart-wretching decision to use his grandson to end the Crisis. I haven't watched the Starz series Miracle Day yet. But I think that might be because I was satisfied with how CoE ended, and they could've answered all unanswered questions with a movie or something. In my opinion.

But stick with it. Torchwood gets very good.

Season 1 takes it to extremes though. I think it could be because it was written for BBC3 for its initial airing but then got bumped up to the better regarded BBC2 and then eventually BBC1. Season 1 has its moments, but season 2 is where everything starts coming together nicely. Rhys becomes a main character, and then you get the great episodes with Martha and James Marsters.

And honestly, you're better off skipping Miracle Day. Again it has its moments, but not only is it longer than it needs to be but it just opens up even more questions with new characters which are shallow replacements of the older ones.

The problem with Captain Jack is that is entire set up is a dropped plot point. Those years taken away from him by the time agency? Never mentioned again.

Plus the show won't let you forget for one minute in series 3 that she's gone. I liked Rose, too, but I was actually got really sick of her after she left. I know that sounds weird now, but trust me, it will make sense later.
