Talk:Torchwood Three

Merge with the Hub article?
What do y'all think? --***Stardizzy*** 06:07, 29 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Yeah, ok, unless someone seriously expands this into a larger article... 15:59, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

I see no reason why not. Joker1138 ( The Hub )

Info?
While I know there is no canonical source for this, when John Barrowman was interviewed on Al Murray's Happy Hour broadcast last Saturday (yeah, I know its a bit late for me to comment on it) he said that Jack Harkness himself built the Hub because he believed that, one day, the Doctor would have to return to the Rift to refuel. If this shouldn't go in the article, then perhaps should there be a little note about it in a "Behind the Scenes" section? 15:55, 9 March 2007 (UTC)


 * this belongs in Behind the Scenes, for sure, if you want to put it in there. but if the official Torchwood website contradicts this, take it out. I can't remember offhand if the website gives a date for Torchwood 3's construction. --***Stardizzy*** 15:58, 9 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Nothing about it in the "Welcome to Torchwood" section of the website, and I doubt it'll be anywhere else. And considering that Jack was around in 1909, 1941, the early 21st century and the 51st century, I don't see how any given date would contradict him building the Hub. 16:03, 9 March 2007 (UTC)


 * ah, but we don't know if his working in 1909 happened before or after The Empty Child in Jack's timeline! not relevant, just saying. --***Stardizzy*** 16:10, 9 March 2007 (UTC)


 * It doesn't really matter, as it shows regardless that Jack could travel through time if he wanted to, so there's no reason why he couldn't have travelled some time from 200,100 to, say. 1930 or whenever Torchwood 3 was built. Although he'd probably need a working time machine on the Dalek-distraught Game Station...
 * Plus, all the Torchwood 3 crew in Everything Changes and in other episodes viewed him as a mystery, and as he was the captain, all this may imply that he was there long before the other members joined. 16:16, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

How do you know Ianto is dead??
 * Erm...he died! His lifeless body was lying next to all the other bodies. Whoniverse93 21:52, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Would the Term (for series 4-) be "Torchwood three" or "Torchwood" Joshoedit 05:44, January 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * Just "Torchwood" -- the old structure and organisation is dead, and what's left are 2 motivated ex-members and some new people operating under the name of the old organisation.Liam Mars 12:35, September 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * Rex, Esther and Vera were readded as crew AGAIN, with the claim that the new Torchwood team is a continuation of Torchwood Three (including two FORMER members) and that they're part of Jack's team, both of which are technically true, but that still doesn't mean that they're Torchwood Three itself! -- Tybort (talk page) 18:12, September 20, 2011 (UTC)

Torchwood Three VS. Torchwood 3
In Children of Earth: Day One, the picture on the right is an official document, as accessed by Lois Habiba in 2009:

You can clearly see that it says "Torchwood 3" not "Torchwood Three." Do we have any other in-universe spellings? Any other times this specific branch of Torchwood is written on-screen? Hmm?

 * A discussion back in Forum:Torchwood Three or Torchwood 3 raised this issue. In it The Twilight Streets (novel) is cited as using the text rather than numerical form for Torchwood Three.
 * Your screenshot does open the question and I'll fall back to our Forum:Artifacts or Artefacts of Rassilon?, we'll need to establish how it's used in various sources and which format "Torchwood 3" or "Torchwood Three" is used more often. --Tangerineduel / talk 14:06, February 15, 2013 (UTC)


 * I love it when you respond. :-) Anyways, I'll look through the original discussion. But I think the fact that this, in-universe, is an official document gives this a little more weight. That was a government file, right? And the government started Torchwood, didn't it? (well... the Queen, but same thing)

 * Well that was a short discussion... Basically, The Twilight Streets calls it "Torchwood 3." That's about it. And the website, but I but we had a discussion that, even though we never reached a full consensus (yet), it does seem to be leaning towards the websites not being part of the DWU. What other Torchwood'' books are there? We need to look through them. As it stands now, it seems to be leaning towards Torchwood 3.
