'Torchwood' Picked up by Starz

Oh sure, now that I am without TV of any kind, this comes to light.  However, since the series will not air until summer 2011, I may be able to afford some sort of service by then.  From the Hollywood Reporter:

Acclaimed British cult TV favorite "Torchwood" is getting a U.S. makeover courtesy of Starz.
The premium cable outlet will share production costs on the show's upcoming season in exchange for domestic distribution rights. The 10-episode run will debut on BBC One and Starz next summer, and take on a more international scope. The bulk of the story will shift from UK to North America and key U.S. actors will join the cast.
Once again, stars John Barrowman and Eve Myles will return.
"This gives 'Torchwood' the chance to feel like a real global drama," said BBC Worldwide Productions executive vp Jane Tranter. "The story of 'Torchwood' will impact worldwide humanity and not just a small area of the UK. This will scale it up."

Sounds interesting, or at least still on the edgy side, though They change Capt. Jack from tri-sexual to completely hetero, which to my mind, will ruin the entire concept.  
Just my two-cents.
