Forum:New Torchwood Team

Why is it that Esther, Rex, and Vera are in the category "Associates of Torchwood Three", but not "Torchwood Three Personnel"? Rex and Esther at least have both been referred to as being in Torchwood on many occassions, and they have been acting as the Torchwood team throughout this season.Icecreamdif 06:21, August 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * I would say that they were put in that category based on the early eps of the series, where they still were officially CIA. They've probably not been changed because there's a  huge question of whether they are Tochwood Three at this point, or just simply Torchwood personnel.  I mean, the Three bit seems awfully pretentious at this point.  As has been made clear throughout the series, Jack and Gwen are it as far as Torchwood is concerned.


 * I think we've just been struggling to come up with a name for this group, as evidenced by Forum:What do we call the post-Miracle Day Torchwood?, and I don't think we'll truly have an answer for that until the final scene of episode 10.


 * I'd say the wisest course of action — that is, the one involving the least amount of work for us — is to revisit this whole issue in late September. 02:58:02 Tue 23 Aug 2011

If its because we haven't decided whether or not to call them Torchwood 3 yet, then shouldn't we stop using the categories for allies and enemies of Torchwood 3? It just seems weird to me to say that Rex and Esther are allies of Torchwood 3, but not to say that they are members of Torchwood at all.Icecreamdif 23:38, August 23, 2011 (UTC)

Transitions are always displeasing. Those who were happy see things changed and are miserable. Those who want change never get exactly the change they want. Calm and good will will carry us through. Boblipton 00:29, August 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * I actually recall in multiple episodes, Gwen refering to the new team as "Team Torchwood" and "New Torchwood Team". It does seem as though they are only called Torchwood, and that Torchwood Three was destroyed in Children of Earth. I think we should wait two weeks until the final episode to make the change. 09:15, September 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, given that the series will probably be over before any consensus can be reached, there's really no good reason not to just wait. --173.228.85.35 17:53, September 1, 2011 (UTC)
