Pleasant and unpatronising
That's like saying the BBC would "pick up" anothe series of The Office, or I might "pick up" Jennifer Anistan.
I think it rather depends on RTD.

The comments on that article are mind-bendingly witless.

Couldn't be arsed to read the comments but here's a quote about the future of TW from RTD from the Doctor Who panel at Comicon this past weekend...
"I hope so. We were astonished by the success of that last series. I really, really hope so. I can't give you a promise because I haven't had the meetings with the right people yet. Also there's a recession going on. It will be back, but maybe the ones you want back won't be back. It will be back in some shape or form."

I guess I'm a bit behind the times. I just watched series two of this. (I tend to watch series out of order because I watch them in the order that I get them from the library.)
It took me about four eps to figure out what the hell was going on. The sexuality of the show was a bit mind-bending at first, at least for a goodie-goodie, midwestern girl. I have to admit being mildly puzzled by the guy on guy action that I saw in the first eps. I think it was the fact that there wasn't any lead-up to it and you just generally wouldn't see the hero doing that on American tv.
By and large I liked the series, at least, after I figured out why they were running aound and shooting at things. It's seriously stupid, which is fine. Sometimes all I want is mind candy.
Naturally, they killed off my favorite characters. I was very sad when they killed Owen, but being SF, he walked around for while afterward. I have a knack for picking doomed characters.

I liked both characters better than Capt Jack. There are times I'd like to slap the lipstick right off his pretty-boy mouth.
What annoys me most is that he's that sterotypical brash American character that you'all like it use, complete with lines like "He's an american" as if that explains everything. It gets annoying after the 100th time, FFS. It annoys me as much you probably are over the Brits all being the villian characters in our tv.

Jack's not American, he's not even from earth. He's from a world that humanity has colonised by the 51st century. He was posing as an American soldier in the 1940's when he was first seen, but that's not where he's from. The actor is Scottish, though his family moved to America while he was in school.
Jack is the way he is because of the gaps in his memory when his former employers wiped his mind, the fact that he comes from a completely different culture and his immortality.

That explains the strange hybrid accent. I thought he was a Brit doing a bad Midwestern accent.
