Why not just leave it in the UK where it belongs?
That was the biggest complaint on hearing Torchwood would be moving to America. After the few updates I found last night, however, it now makes much more sense to me that Russell Davies would want to make the switch.
Fact: Davies has written scripts that will pick up where Children of Earth left off.
If this is the case then I can understand why the move from the UK. Jack isn't going to want to stay there after everything that happened. (no spoilers here, promise). There aren't really many reasons left for him to stay. He is going to need a fresh start. At the same time, he loved working with Torchwood and isn't going to want to give it up so easily. It was established that there are multiple Torchwood locations, so it makes sense that he just moves to a different branch. And since he is American (I didn't just make that up, right?) it makes sense that would be his chouce of location to move to.
It doesn't make sense to have a Torchwood branch in America?
Sure it does. Torchwood may have been formed in the UK, but it grew to be an organization that was meant to protect the Earth from alien species. This caused it to spread outside of its original borders.
An American version won't be as good. Anytime America tries to touch a British show it always screws it up.
Except usually the same people who created the original version aren't also working on the reboot. With Davies and Barrowman both involved I am confident they will create a quality show that fans can be proud of.
So, class... any questions?
