Torchwood, Dr. Who and Nietzsche

[Warning, this post has Dr. Who seasons 1-4 spoilers!]

I recently posted the following on my Facebook notes:

I finally watched Season 3 of Torchwood last night -Children of Earth. Despite my criticisms of the 5th Dr., I still prefer Dr. Who over Torchwood. At the core of Dr. Who is an immortal who believes unshakably in the Good of Man, and whose death and resurrection events envelop him in a magical glow of white light. At the core of Torchwood is an immortal who believes in nothing, and whose death and resurrections only take him in and out of a dark, empty void.
