I should have been more specific, I suppose. Did TW get canceled or just snipped down to a series of specials like Doctor Who did this season? (That was a massive piece of wankage, let me tell you.)
I keep hearing rumors about both cancelation and snippage, but they don't seem bad enough to actually set people off on massive wank-fests.
Well, the five-parter just aired over on the other side of the pond, and most of the fans over here have streamed it. I don't know if there will be a "rest of the season" or not.
It's mostly the events of "Children of Earth" that have the fandom up in arms, though. (I don't think I can be more specific without MASSIVE SPOILERS. I mean, I got spoiled pretty much instantly because I didn't defriend all the Whoniverse and general fandom comms on my flist, but it sounds like you haven't been yet.)

That explains a fair bit of the generic wank I've seen.
...but it sounds like you haven't been yet.
Oh, I don't watch Torchwood. I make fun of it as a crappy spin-off.
There are several other TW fans on my friend's list, but they are all posting really vague, angsty things; I was banking on you being rational, articulate, and low on the angst scale. (All three things have proven to be true. Thank you for not being completely fucking apeshit.)
