This is one of the first shows I've watched in a long time where two of my top 4 characters are female.
I think the last show I watched where I loved the female characters as much as the male ones was DS9. Which was a lonnng time ago. And I'm pretty sure I'm not sexist, so I have to put that down to the way people write female characters. This show is a step up from most genre TV out there, this is certain.
While I do love Doctor Who/Torchwood, RTD has a tendency to consider everything he's done as brilliant. Well, one thing I admire about Moore is he has actually come out and said 'Ok, I know such and such an episode didn't work...'
Yes! This is so important to me. I don't want fanservice, but I don't want a producer who calls the fans 'ming-mongs' (as in mongoloid) as RTD did and who think they can never go wrong. (TPTB on Lost are also good at admitting when they made a mistake.)
