Miraculous

I had my doubts. After losing Owen and Ianto (not to mention Tosh), I wondered if Torchwood could come back engaging and strong. Torchwood: Miracle Day alleviates my concerns and has me positively giddy at Captain Jack Harkness and Gwen Cooper’s reunion. Throw in some Mekhi Phifer, and all is good with the world. Well, except for the whole “not able to die” thing.

My first observation from the premiere is that Bill Pullman has become Robert De Niro in Cape Fear. I challenge you to disagree. I had to do a couple of second takes (what’s that make, 4 takes?) to make sure it really was Pullman. Though we didn’t get to see that much of him, his backstory alone makes him a vile, vile creature. It’ll be interesting to see where he goes from here.

You can already see the hard choice that will have to be made at some point, and though I guess we can figure out what it will be, the results will be worth sticking around for.

For new fans of the show, I think the premiere sets up just enough Torchwood lore to educate and entertain. Sure I would have liked more reminiscing, but that would have destroyed the pace of the episode. My only complaint is that all the scenes with pretty blond Esther nearly did that. I’m not invested in her, at all, at this point. Maybe she’ll get in on the action a bit in the next episode. I certainly hope so, because otherwise? Snore.

Overall, I give Torchwood: Miracle Day a strong A. Can’t wait to see the rest of it!

  1. Yesterday, while I was at work, my sister stole my apple
    ipad and tested to see if it can survive a twenty five foot drop,
    just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad
    is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it
    with someone!

    and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head.

    intelligently about. I am very happy I came across this in my hunt for something regarding this.

  15. I believe everything said made a lot of sense. However, what about this? what if you were to write a awesome post title? I ain’t saying your information isn’t solid, however what if you added a post title that grabbed folk’s attention? I mean BLOG_TITLE is kinda boring. You should peek at Yahoo’s home page and see how they create article headlines to get viewers to click. You might add a video or a pic or two to get readers interested about what you’ve got to say. In my opinion, it might make your blog a little livelier.|
