That Torchwood is an anagram for Doctor Who.
:/
Nothing to do with being drunk mind, it's just something I realised a while back!
Kind of the point, really. 'Torchwood' was the name printed for the original documents and reels and stuff like that when they were filming the first series of the revived Doctor Who. The point was that anyone trying to steal the reels so they could get a peek at what had been filmed would be put off by the name, thinking it was a completely different show, called Torchwood. Someone at BBC HQ apparently then had the idea to use it again as an arc word for the second series, and history was made...

Firefly will most likely never get an ongoing comic continuation like Buffy and Angel. :'(
Actually, it already does. It's not a recurring series like Season Eight, but there are several different comic series set both between Firefly and Serenity, and set after Serenity, that carry on the story and give details that were never screened due to the show cancellation. If you wanted to read them, I'd start with 'Serenity: Those Left Behind', which gives the main story between the show and the film, and gives more info on Blue Sun and the Hands of Blue, their deaths (spoiler!), which isn't a spoiler because it's the whole point of the Operative replacing them in Serenity, and it also introduces the Operative chronologically as a character. There are also plans for other comics to be set before the series started, and after Serenity, including one that will detail Book's backstory and explain all the weird stuff (like his knowledge of firearms and his apparently unusual status with the Alliance), and how he became a Shepherd in the first place.
As for me, I suddenly realised one day that I hate the course I'm doing at university, and want to quit. However, I'm in my final year and I'll be damned if I'm going to waste the money I've already spent in loans on tuition, so I'm just going to carry on with it, graduate (I don't give a damn anymore what class I get or if I graduate with honours), then go and do what I want to do. I just wish I'd known about film-making courses before I chose to do Maths, but my school was a grammar school so they kind of forced us on a path to picking more 'academic' subjects for university, while downplaying or ignoring anything else. Hell, one guy I knew at school ended up regularly arguing with the careers advisor, who was a chemistry teacher, because he didn't want to do the university route, but instead join the Army, and that pissed off the school head who was adamant that everyone from our school had to go to university...
EDIT: To be fair, I do still love uni, it's the best time I've ever had in my life. I just hate the Maths course I'm doing, and I really want to do Cinema and Photography instead (like some of my friends are doing), which is much more enjoyable for me as I love making films and taking photos. I really wish now that my school had promoted things like that as viable university options as well, instead of pushing me and pressuring me into doing academic things like Maths (which was my best subject at school, but I'm not so good with the uni course...).
