Heh; it was the other way around for me. I fell in love with the first new season - Eccleston rules, in my view - but after that I just got frustrated with it. Whereas Torchwood was just these predominantly average people dealing with some really weird stuff. Plus it's redeeming features again - that one episode in S1 with the 'faerie folk' and "Fragments", for instance, just ruled. But your mileage may vary.
Hee, that'd be ... well, I don't know where happy-go-lucky freelance Jack went (he's nearly as codependent as the rest of them, in his own way) but I want him back now, please. Seriously, what happened to the guy who flirted like other people breathe? Okay, it's been a long time, but ... some things don't change. Or shouldn't. I think Torchwood would be a lot better without some of the angst. Which I suppose is why Captain Spike would be a good addition - Marsters can do angst without overdoing it, so you actually still feel bad for the character instead of wanting to jump up on a coffee table and bap them with a rolled-up newspaper shouting, "Pull! Yourself! Together!"
Glad to see I'm spreading the UV-love. *happydance*
