This Can Only Lead To Tears

Fox readying U.S. version of 'Torchwood'.

First off, well, reasons 1 - infinity, IT'S FOX!! And if FOX is not ready to have an omnisexual lead who's physically intimate with his objects of desire ONSCREEN.. then, yeah, I don't care if Russell T. Davies and the other TW PTB are involved. This can only lead to badness.

The only thing more horrifying was this little ditty: Tranter might try to reboot “Doctor Who” for U.S. audiences...

I need, like, a facepalm .gif or something.

So they are remaking it with pretty much the same set of characters, instead of maybe a Torchwood US with new characters? However they set it up, it's going to be a censored bore. There's too much camp in Torchwood, and won't be as enjoyable without the adult content.

Strange as it sounds, I think FOX might be the *one* (major) network willing to air a show with a textually bisexual lead. That said, it's still FOX and I still think this is a horrible idea even with Barrowman onboard.

So they're porting over Barrowman over as well. That should be entertaining, especially when his off-screen attention whore antics gets splashed to middle america.
