Howling:Torchwood 2008

When is Torchwood series 2 set. Now I am not talking about that whole year skip thing but think about it right. Now according to those who take the year skip then series 4 of new who is 2009 right, so Torchowood is 2009, because they are year ahead of when they were broadcast and both where broadcast in 2008. Or if you don't believe the year skip both were in 2008. Only thing is last of the time lords right is either in 2008 or 07 depending whether or not you take the year skip. Now at the end of last of the time lords Jack leaves to be with that old team of his, so does it take him six months or one night at the most. I would have thought that Kiss Kiss Bang Bang took place a day at the most after Last of the time lords which would mean it and presumbly the rest of Torchwood series 2 take place in the same year as Doctor who series 3 not doctor who series 4. So whether you count the year skip or not surely Torchwood series 2 is a year or six months earlier than it aired, what do you guys think is this an old arguement or a new dating controversy that has been discovered.

It's set during January to April 2008 time, as confirmed by the offical in-universe website, the novels, and the TV series itself. Anyone who goes against all confirmation from all three are stubborn idiots, and saying it isn't is more... fanfiction. They're don't decide the rules, the writers do. Doctor Who series 4 is quoted as being in 2008, too, in-universe. It takes place after Torchwood series 2, which is confirmed 2008.

Doctor Who series had in-universe dialouge placing it in 2007, and it takes place after the latter half of Torchwood series 1, which had dialouge putting the later half in 2007. The list goes on. Because the Doctor is a time traveler, he could time issues, and that is as far as you get for an explanation. Steven Moffat's explanation for this year rubbish: wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey.

Ever since 'Dalek', the writers didn't follow it, and still don't follow it. Doctor Who didn't have to follow it because time is in flux, and it could have been fixed by the Doctor. Delton Menace 22:47, June 21, 2010 (UTC)
