First of all, an insight (and some elementary logic) about Comic Con: Everybody loves Japanese stuff. Everybody loves porn. Everybody loves Japanese porn.

John Barrowman is totally over the top. If anything, I now see Captain Jack as a toned down version of his actual persona. Sample exchange: “There is a lot of John Barrowman in Captain Jack. And a lot of Captain Jack in John Barrowman… And a lot of Ianto in Captain Jack.”
Another interesting Barrowman quote, “I would love to play Captain America.” Turn loose the rumor mill.
Season 3 of Torchwood is going to be five episodes covering one “very intense” story arc. According to Julie Gardner, “the Torchwood team has never been in this much jeopardy. Bad things happen.”
Filming on Season 3 starts in a few weeks and BBC America inked the deal this morning to carry the episodes.
