Torchwood series 2 air date
I saw an extended trailer for Torchwood on the BBC last night, and it said that it was due to be shown on 16th January on BBC2, which is a Wednesday so it's probably the Heroes 9pm slot. The official website hasn't caught up yet, no longtrailer or dates, although it has new wallpaper. Hmmm.
The extended trailer did not, unfortunately, offer me any hope that the new series would be better than the last. Looked like more of the same.

You are in fact joking right?
If anything the trailer looks even better than the first season and since when in the first season was there Time Agents, insects, alien parasites, Martha Jones, a united team and all the revelations that the second season looks to provide?
Evidence to back up your point is expected for any valid sort of opinion.
To me, the trailer looks more of the same. What I want is good stories and believable characters. (And lets for one moment forget the fact that I find the entire concept of the small Torchwood gang unbelievable). I don't really care what monsters or what characters appear. James Marsters was great in Buffy because Buffy had great stories, he won't magically make it better. And Martha only had half an episode of being interesting in the last season of Doctor Who.
If each episode is just a monster hunt, with some bitchy relationship stuff thrown in I'll be disappointed. Primeval is more fun for monster hunting.
I want it to be good, honest. I want an episode the quality of Blink to blow me away. I just don't have much hope.
