Spoiler:

~Torchwood spoilers ahoy~

I'm not worried about Torchwood. Torchwood is done. It should have ended with CoE, because after that... there was no Torchwood. I mean, what was the real purpose of Torchwood Three? Rift maintenance. Keeping Cardiff clean of extraterrestrial debris. Torchwood Three was basically full of really cool janitors. The division of the organization went something like:

One: Defense of Earth, Extraterrestrial Research
Two: Paperwork
Three: Cleanup and Cataloging
Four: Highly Experimental (probably; afaik it vanished)

What I'm trying to say is that Earth Defense wasn't really Three's job. They didn't have the tech, manpower, resources, anything. Especially after CoE. The only reason they kept on for CoE was Jack's personal involvement and the fact that the remaining team members were being hunted down for assassination. The Hub was gone, their normal job was gone, everything was going to hell. Then certain people died, Jack ran away, and it was actually a very tidy ending.

But then suddenly he's back on Earth for Miracle Day (which honestly I watched like 5 1/2 eps of and couldn't force myself to watch more) and Torchwood Gwen and Jack are off to save the world from nastiness, which has something to do with a former lover of Jack's and insane plots. Aliens? What aliens? Just humans and guns and economic devastation. Tbh it was boring and sickening and... didn't feel like Torchwood. Not much could top CoE, sure, but it could have been so much better than that. Besides, the continuity is so screwed up with DW continuity now. Best explanation is definitely parallel universe (Trousers of Time version).

....Anyway. Main point. Torchwood is gone. All that's left is possibly Four- One was destroyed in the Battle of Canary Wharf of course. Two was disbanded prior to CoE and Three was done in CoE. There's really not much left to work with.

I don't want to see any more Torchwood. Rambling rant over.

Eep. Spoilered for length and spoilers (Torchwood/Doctor Who).

Spoiler:

I still am a huge Torchwood fan. But I really, really dislike MD. It was too drawn-out with too much random violence and hanging plot threads. It simply was not executed well. Especially with the problem of Rex. The best shows really have most everything tied up by the end of the season, and if you leave things hanging like that it's actually not that promising. Viewers like a resolution, not more twisted complications. [side note: this is why PotC2 was the worst of its series.]
Really, if Jack is to be further explored, I think bringing him back to DW as a semi-frequent companion would be best. Maybe getting about the same amount of screentime River did the last few seasons.

The thing is, Torchwood can't be recreated. There is a reason One was never rebuilt, Two closed down, Four was never found. Besides that, they used to get funding and everything directly from the heads of the British government. If they're gallivanting off in America, how are they gonna be funded? If they're not funded, how are they going to have the equipment necessary to take on worldwide attacks and such? And how are they going to get to London fast enough when aliens inevitably strike there?
Honestly, the only way I see Torchwood continuing is if Three's surviving members find Four and join up with them or something.

Insurance for when the Doctor isn't there, sure. But he's got a phone [though he seems to rarely answer] and pops back and forth often enough that he's hear about some huge event. That's why MD makes no sense- would Martha have not called the Doctor? Would the Doctor have not notice something amiss? He's been back a crap-ton of times with Amy and Rory supposedly during the events of MD. [ooh new idea MD happened in the aborted timeline of series 5's finale]
Torchwood's not overstepping their bounds, no, but they're overstepping their abilities. They haven't got the resources- no you know what I've said it already. The Doctor's wishes are all well and good [and are more along the lines of "humans should start developing planetary shields and practicing communications with extraterrestrials"], but they really can not conceivably take this on themselves. They're only humans and semi-immortals. They haven't got a TARDIS or insane knowledge of the universe's intricate workings. They barely saved the world in the last few seasons and even then lost a hell of a lot of people. And the thing is, both times it wasn't even an exciting and brilliant resolution- it was hell. It was terrifying. It was depressing. And it worked once, really well, but you can't keep doing that kind of thing over and over for your conclusions. People don't watch to be sad and horrified- they want at least a decent end to the emotional turmoil.

Honestly MD would have worked best as a movie if anything. It was stretched too thin for ten episodes. Two and a half hours would have been perfect.

Plus if you don't want to see any more Torchwood, then don't watch it. Problem solved. :P

This, I don't ever tolerate anyone saying, especially when you know perfectly well what I mean. I mean I don't want to see another disappointment attached to Torchwood. I don't want it to exist, because when that kind of thing happens people start forgetting about the brilliance that came before it. It'll be like Brett Favre's career.

In other news, I'm learning how to knit so I can make Four's scarf. Yes that is the only reason.

oh it's that. I keep copying my rants in case PC decides to derp. ^^;

My Last RP Post. @_@"

Spoiler:

Rudolf knocked a little tune he made right at that moment on the headmaster's door. Zest shot through his arm and transformed into Butterfrees as it reached his stomach; forcing a friendly smile to grow on his face, whether he wanted it to or not. Today he arrived at the academy, don't you know. Very big deal. He can remember getting the letter, too. Back when he was home, the amount of laziness he was exhibiting that day was impeccable. He only moved from the couch he plopped himself the night before to get breakfast (cold pizza, naturally.) Otoño was out of his pokéball of course, like he always is, and was oddly dancing around with the air that day. It was strange and extremely fascinating, because on any other day he would've joined in Rudolf's laziness binge. It probably should've been studied further (it most likely had to do with the upcoming changing of season) but low and behold, Rudolf found himself too preoccupied with that new medieval game for the brand new game system his Dad had gotten him. His Dad was wicked nice and generous. Perhaps too much so. Rudolf sometimes feared he has gotten too used to having every material possession he wanted. What happens if that all goes away?

"Yes?" a voice finally said after that odd pause. The headmaster must be doing work.

"Hi!" Rudolf replied, unaffected by the bothered tone of his superior. "It's Strangolagalli! The new teacher."

"Right, right, come in. The door is open." The voice replied, dropping gradually in volume as the sentence continued.

Rudolf pushed the door open with his free hand and entered the clean, cluttered office of the headmaster, Pr. Oak. Books lined the shelves of the place, each containing knowledge on every subject ever thought up of probably. The Professor looked up to find the slender gentleman just standing there with a silly grin sewn on his face, waiting instruction. A Carnivine was right next to him, arms wrapped tightly around his master's leg and staring unblinkingly into the professor's eyes. The Professor sighed and opened a drawer on his side of the desk.

"This is your house key," Oak murmured as he presented it to Rudolf and slightly jingled them. Placing them on the surface of the desk, Oak reached in and pulled out a dusty but otherwise very new textbook with a plain black cover; having the words "BREEDING 101" etched into it with small silver letters. "And this is your lesson plan."

Rudolf had to pause for a second to absorb the concept of being the teacher of a textbook class after he saw that dull black book. You know what he means. Those classes that have to follow a textbook, those classes that the teachers are basically just advanced audio tapes. Those classes that barely need any attention because the teacher can just as easily say "read page so-and-so and come to me if you're too stupid to get it the first time." Not what he expected, to say the least.

Hearing no response, Oak re-organized the items so the textbook rested on the wood desk and the keys rested upon the former. "You also provide general tutoring to the students if they desire it or we desire it. Clear, Mr. Strangolagalli?"

"Yeah, I get it." Rudolf said, slightly subdued as he scratched the side of his forehead.

"Right then. Take your things and go. Your home is the little house at the edge of the forest if you take a right near the Suicune doors. Pay day is Friday." And with that, the famous professor picked up his fancy pen and continued what he was doing before being so rudely interrupted.

----

Rudolf sighed as he seated himself on the bench nicely positioned right outside his house. He would've been walking or something, but unpacking was quite the hassle. Not that Rudolf was a Prima Donna, oh no, he actually liked organizing things. The actual unpacking part was no trouble. It was that nasty Beedrill that flew into his house because of the forest-facing window he just had to open. "Fresh air!" he noted. "Beautiful day!" he insisted. Rudolf chuckled at his naivety. Otoño went ballistic of course. Rudolf didn't even have to utter a command before it was Leech Seed this and Leaf Tornado that.

Rudolf looked back at the little home he now had. It and all its now ruined glory. But thinking about it, Rudolf decided the little chippings in the walls and cracked windows probably made it more unique. In fact, he liked it. Thanks, Beedrill. Wonder if it was wild…. Hm. Then again, was he really interested in catching a Beedrill?

The tiny, strangled snores of Otoño broke his train of thought as the grass monster slept at his feet. Little guy was exhausted after beating that bug to a pulp. Leaving it at the Pokémon Center was the least Rudolf could've done for that bee…. After a thrashing like that they were entitled to an apology. Heh. Funny how things work like that. Rudolf reached down and grabbed his Pokémon, which barely noticed as its mouth flapped all the way open. Chortling, Rudolf shut its mouth once again and softly petted it as it instinctively clutched itself on Rudolf's torso. What a sweetheart Otoño could be sometimes. Only for Rudolf, too.

Only for Rudolf.
