So I watched all but Name of the Doctor and there after, took a break, and my fiancé got into Who. We watched the 2005- series and she was hooked, had to stream Time of the Doctor, and now I'm waiting to see 13 in action. In watching so much of this show, I have to admit, I am seriously disappointed we don't see more Jack Harkness, Ricky, or Martha returns. They all work/ed for Torchwood or UNIT in some form, and I really think they should become regular additions whenever the groups come into play. I understand they don't want to overplay those organizations since they were so intertwined earlier in the show, but really, please? Also, was Torchwood actually cancelled? I really fell in love with the gritty, dark sci-fi perspective of the Whoverse and would be surprised if it was considering shows like Sleep Hollow, CSI, Hannibal, and soon to be Constantine are up and around.

I need to get back into Torchwood at some point... :/

Captain Jack was my favourite Doctor Who character period though, even more than any of the doctors. So I would LOVE to see him come back in the TV series.
As for why Torchwood would be canceled but shitty shows stay... People tend to have horrid tastes, plus Torchwood was a bit disadvantaged in that it was a show that depended largely on you knowing and liking a different show.
