Brit Sci Fi (Torchwood, Dr. Who, etc.)

i didn't think i'd like the new incarnation of the series - i worried they would try to make it more like a star trek and heavy on the special effects and technology
the anti-ness of all that made the earlier incarnation the awesomeness that they were
but i was totally reeled in with the first season

k-9 was always a favorite

What ever happened to the spin-offs of K-9?
Low ratings cancellation or just waiting for the new season ?
I know Sarah Jane's due for a new season or 2..
Massive has such Luck ~sulk~

As for the DVD's in Netflix, true, they do, which is why I'll consider it..
I do have a portable dvd player {first thing I bought as a pat-on-the-back-good-job a few years ago}

I think they decided to keep K-9 with Sarah Jane?
Lol luck that I'm in the UK? Actually, Russel T Davis started out writing Queer As Folk, the british version and the BBC had the foresight to accept his idea to rejuvenate Dr Who, which I think we can all be greatful for, he's brought back one of the British Sci-fi industries greatest Hero and Villians, because otherwise we'd never have the Daleks, Cybermen, et al on any of our tv screens!

I don't know if this really counts, but I've gotten hooked on Survivors on BBC America. Not Survivor, the reality show, but Survivors, the one about the people who survived a fast moving virus and are fending for themselves without any of the country's infrastructure still working. I think it's really well done and Abby is hot!

Christie and I are Survivors fans too and set the dvr to record it. Unfortunately, it gets run out of order so we have to filter through and see which episode we are on so it's a tad frustrating. Great show though, and we love Abby too!

How many seasons is ( was) Torchwood? I added what appears to be 2 seasons and what may be a special ( looks like maybe 5 episodes) onto our Netflix streaming so we can do a marathon weekend whenever we get a chance. It looks pretty awesome.
