Comic Con – John Barrowman Rocks

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

And onto the Torchwood panel:

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.

    And who didn’t sniffle when they replayed Tosh’s death scene? I think we can also expect to see some interesting casting on season 3, and with some pretty broad hints, care of the recent season finale on Doctor Who that Martha may be making a reappearance.

    Stephen, Naoko was openly weeping on the panel when the clip ended, and John was looking a little shaky. I thought that was amazing.
