I can't wait to see Torchwood in the US (literally) finally. Doctor Who was proper weird being set in the US this series for the first two episodes, just sorta "out of placey" to me (still loved it though). But the Torchwood crew, lol. Yeah, should be interesting to see them interact in the present, in the US, and have US peeps on the team/work with them.

Plus, Barrowman's American accent is still awesome, but not as good as his Scottish accent.

it's going to be weird but I just want new Torchwood :D

Oh god, Gwen is so hawts, even with the 2 or 3 bad teeth, :p But really I started the show for the Jack and Gwen dynamic and banter etc. Can it be Jack x Gwen timez finally? It's not like she hasn't cheated before! ;)

Torchwood creator Russell T. Davies has revealed that Captain Jack (John Barrowman) will be rendered mortal in new ten-part season Miracle Day.

The character has been unable to die since being killed and resurrected in a 2005 episode of parent series Doctor Who.

However, Davies told AOL TV: "The greatest thing you can do is offer a new look into the character. It's not fundamentally altering the character, it's fundamentally altering the rules [while] the character stays the same."

He hinted that Captain Jack's new condition will be linked to the premise of Miracle Day, which sees the entire populace of Earth unable to die.

"Everyone else is immortal, [and] he's mortal," explained the writer. "It's the biggest switch in the show, which we did in order to give us new insights into Jack."

Davies added that he "couldn't possibly say" if Jack will be killed off in a future episode.

"The stakes are that high," he admitted. "And it's very hard to prove he's mortal without killing him, so that's going to be interesting."

Torchwood: Miracle Day will air in July on Starz in the US and on BBC One in the UK.

I actually hope that little "twist" doesn't last long, Jack is jack cuz of the funky time vortex hax he has going that's making him immortal.

well I think its a good idea while everyone else is made immortal he is made mortal...sort of a flip of a coin but yeah by the end he will probably be made immortal again

He'll have to be unless we somehow changed the future in a big way without me noticing.

Wasn't it already pretty much confirmed in Doctor Who s4? or maybe s3? I forget, but basically that he's going to be the future Face of Bo, or w/e? That's what I remember anyways.

sorry if its been posted but I just saw the trailer for this last night. I know this is been playing on BBC but will this be a new show on Stars or are they starting with the same episodes already playing on BBC?

nope its new, Starz put most of the money up for a new series of Torchwood and BBC let them as long as they can air it around same time which is whats happening

To me it sounds like someone at the BBC is intent on destroying this and Doctor Who :(

Still looking forward to seeing this though, hopefully it will be as good as children of earth

its because Starz put most cash up tbh

Torchwood: Miracle Day premieres on July 8 on Starz in the US and on July 14 on BBC One in the UK.

1. There's a cheeky reference to a deceased former Torchwood member (and no, it's not Ianto).

2. The chief villains from Torchwood: Children of Earth also get a mention, in a roundabout sort of way.

3. "The Founding Fathers had me in mind when they wrote the Constitution, don't you think?"

4. At one point, Rex makes a less than graceful escape.

5. "She should have run faster."

6. A certain drug familiar to Torchwood fans is utilised once again.

7. "First sign of trouble, you go running off with Captain Jack B*llocks."

8. Wales is the British equivalent of New Jersey.

9. "I've got to *** for this ******?!"

10. After lurking in the shadows for a while, Captain Jack makes a suitably heroic return.

What a random date for us, a Thursday of all days, terrible day, lol.

Would have been much better on the same day or the Saturday after, but I wouldn't have chosen a Thursday as the day to bring it back, it isn't even like there is anything good on TV on Fri/Sat at around the time it would be on.

Saying that, chances are the bulk of the people who will watch it a week after on TV aren't going to know it was shown in the US first, and probably just don't care, lol.

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
