Oh yeah, I've come to ship Liz/Brig as well; they're so right for each other; you can see them smouldering at each other across the test tubes. XD

NuUNIT annoy me greatly; they try to be dark and edgy, but they come across as just stupid and unprofessional. And anyone who wears scary black uniforms to try and look "kewl" and "badass" is overcompensating or something... The crowning stupidity was that officer threatening to shoot the poor scientist in Planet of the Dead - if the Brig had been there, he'd probably have shot _her_!

Torchwood the show...well, I guess that at its worst (and it is at its worst quite a lot of the time!) it's like bad fanfic written by a twelve year old Doctor Who fan who likes guns and has just found out about sex, and who thinks swearing makes you sound big and clever *considers amount of guns and swearing in own fanfic and feels like a hypocrite*. But it really does have its moments, and the oldy-timey Torchwood people who appeared all-too-briefly in Season 2 were kind of loveable, in their way.

I think S17 isn't to everyone's taste; I mean, it has problems, doesn't it, and some people think it's a bit too comedic, a bit silly. That said, I love it to bits, I think it's really fun and has lots of great character and dialogue stuff, and some really good stories if you look past the cheapness and the sometimes dodgy acting. And I think Romana's just great in both incarnations. That the Doctor and, at least, Romana II were involved is firmly embedded in my fanon now (in fact it may be canon - as you say, there is a lot of onscreen evidence for it).
