The 25 questions thing

Over onTorchwood.TV we have 25 questions about Torchwood. I obviously don't have any special insight for many of the questions from my location. I really have no idea...


1: What time/date will Torchwood eventually air? My guess is the last Monday of October. (October 30th). 9:00 PM, I assume?

2: When will we first see a Torchwood trailer...?
First week of October.

3: So, will there be a "Torchwood Confidential" or not? Sounds like there will be an online version of sorts.

4: First episode: good or bad reviews? Some will be highly positive -- but others will be extremly negative. Especially due to it's realationship with Doctor Who

5: How many viewers will watch "Flotsam and Jetsam"? 2.5 million? No idea here.

6: What are Jack Harkness' first words to Gwen Cooper?
Something strange and flirty.

7: Will Jack have a smooch and/or sex in the first episode of the series? No.

8: How many men/women will Jack sleep with throughout season one? Less than you'd think, actually!

9: Will Jack and Gwen get together (and if so, in which episode) ? No.

10: What's Jack's secret revealled at the end of episode one? (This one I know, but I'm not telling! Ha!) How he got to that time period.

11: Will Torchwood transfer to BBC One? Yes.

12: Is Doctor Sato a lesbian? No.

13: Is Doctor Sato bi-sexual? Yes.

14: How many references to "the Doctor", "Rose Tyler" or "the TARDIS" in the first series? 3

15: How many references to other elements of "Doctor Who" (like the Empty Child incident) in the first year? 8

16: Who are the "old friends" posed to return in the middle of the series (Chula alerted us to this) ? A Cyberman

17: Will there be Torchwood Magazine? No.

18: When will the first Torchwood action figures hit the shelves? Captain Jack is supposed to be out soon! But otherwise, we won't see any others. We don't have a Mickey action figure, after all...

19: Will we see any Doctor Who monsters in series one?
Yes. (See #16)

20: Will there be any eventual "Doctor Who" / "Torchwood" crossover? Not directly.

21: Will the series feature a Russell T Davies style catchphrase (Think Eccleston's "fantastic" or Tennant's "brilliant") ? Not really. That's characteristic of the Doctor...

22: Will the series end of a cliffhanger? If so, what...? No.

23: Will Jack Harkness and all of his friends survive series one? If not, who will be Torchwood's first casualty? Burn Gorman's character.

24: Torchwood: recommissioned for a second season, or not? Yes

25: Finally, a fun one: who would you most like to spend a night with out of the Torchwood cast? Probably too early to say. Toshiko Sato based on her first series appearance in Doctor Who though...

And for my bonus questions!

26: What station in the US picks up Torchwood?
Actually, I'll be optomistic -- and say Sci Fi! Otherwise it's BBC America...

27: When does it air in the US? Late spring 2007 -- pretty much the same time period that the first series of Doctor Who aired in 2006.

And just to emphasize again... I really don't know the answers to any of those, and it's all just guesses on my part!
