Torchwood

Craig:
It. Was. Smegging. Awesome. Oh, and Captain Jack will return in Season 3 of Doctor Who, as well.

[Nitpicking mode] Captain Jack is in charge of Torchwood 3. Torchwood 1 was the tower that basically got wiped out at the end of Doomsday/Army of Darkness. Torchwood 2 is the "original" site in Glasgow, and Torchwood 4 is "missing."[/Nitpicking mode] I think all Captain Jack would have had to say is "I travelled with the Doctor for a while..." and they would have hired him on the spot. My question is how come Torchwood only seemed to come to prominence after most of UNIT was killed?

Mark7:
When was most of U.N.I.T. killed?  So far they've lost about 3 members (the two U.S.A.F. personnel electrocuted in Aliens of London and the Major in The Christmas Invasion).  I seriously doubt that's "most" of them.

As for Sunday's episode, wasn't the scene in old man Morgan's house a corker?  8-)

If you're going to nitpick, I don't think Torchwood 2 in Glasgow is the "original" site, if by "original" you mean the Torchwood House/Estate from Doctor Who, as that was in the Scottish countryside, not Glasgow.

I heard that they came up with Torchwood in a way because they weren't allowed to use the name "United Nations" in the series in that context any more, so needed a replacement, but I'm not sure how true that is. I think they're allowed to use "UNIT" if they don't say "United Nations" but are trying to minimise their involvement to keep out of trouble, so Torchwood will probably replace them as UNIT is phased out, but that's just a guess.

Shibboleth:
Interesting tidbit for those who don't know it yet:

'Torchwood' is an anagram for 'Doctor Who'.  :-D

thehoopiestfrood:
It was also the codename on the tapes for the early episodes of the first new series so people wouldn't thieve them or whatever.
