Torchwood completes its transformation into Buffy

Post by Dartzap »

Former Buffy star James Marsters will reportedly be guest starring in the second season of Torchwood.

According to the website James Marsters Live, the 44-year-old actor, famed for his role as swaggering British vampire Spike on Buffy The Vampire Slayer, will be filming his appearance in Cardiff next month.

Torchwood’s parent show Doctor Who also featured one of the leads from the Sunnydale based cult show in its second series, with Anthony Head starring in ‘School Reuinon’ last year. The creative force behind the revived Doctor Who - Russell T Davies – has often cited Buffy as a key inspiration for his show.

If they'd only dump Owen or emo-boy for him...

Uh, dump Owen or Owen? :P

Yeah, who the hells know what's going to happen with Torchwood, I'm hoping the freaky bloke from the missing station will turn up with an armed escort and kill them all before placing a 'This Building Has Been Condemned" sign on it.

I hope the dudes making season 2 have been listening to the shit-ton of feedback.

Really, I always thought Torchwood had a lot more in common with Angel than with Buffy.

Yeah, it's trying more for that angle. Some say the same about DW and Buffy, but the "inspiration" seems more blatant with Torchwood.
