Re: Torchwood : Series 4 - Miracle Day (Starz)
 

Well we know it involves some enemy of Jack from the past but I wonder if we have seen this enemy before or will we see flashbacks.

Lets face it now if this is not a one off series this will eventually go completely American whether we like it or not and the chances of the American producers keeping Eve Myles on would be slim at best because they would without a doubt go for a completely American cast and start a whole new Torchwood hub based in the United States.

After watching that Preview thing on the end of the BBC airing.. It completely looked like your Typical '24' or 'FlashForward'

Hey er.. That's right, to emphasise just how Americanized everything is becoming, including David Bartlett's British English dictionary spell checking add-on for Firefox.. It only pulled me up about capitalisation?

The whole point of installing the damned thing, was so I wouldn't have to suffer re-reading all the nonsense I just typed..

Of course, he is living over there now, so might try to get around it by hiring some Welsh Americans :D

Re: Torchwood : Series 4 - Miracle Day (Starz)
 

I would rather the Americans have their own version or Torchwood whilst having the Original one back over in Wales but for Season finale's you could cross the two :p:

Re: Torchwood : Series 4 - Miracle Day (Starz)
 

I thought this second ep was S L O W. They really dragged it out.
And it almost seemed like two shows - one Torchwoodesque (albeit with a ridiculous & bonkers, way over the top Gwen, especially on the plane - cheese or what..) and the other a boring, generic American drama.
I'm a big Torchwood fan and not prepared to give up on it yet, but aside from the last 5 mins after they got off the plane, the rest of it was very meh.
The UK Torchwood & Torchwood team were brilliant. This just seems like a poor spin-off.

I find right clicking on a word you know is right and 'adding to dictionary' does the trick.

Re: Torchwood : Series 4 - Miracle Day (Starz)
 

Pros: So far I am enjoying this Torchwood series more than any of the previous.

Cons: Too many references to 'Gay' and 'Welsh'.

Doesn't everyone know Jack's gay and Gwen's Welsh already?

I've nothing against Gays or the Welsh but just wish they would quit shoving it in my face so much and just get on with the TV show.

Hmmm...My late wife was Welsh and she could never stop going on about it. Maybe a National trait? :D

Re: Torchwood : Series 4 - Miracle Day (Starz)
 

The only "Welsh" reference I can think of this week was where the Dollhouse woman said "You're the best that England has to offer?" and Gwen responded with "I'm Welsh! <THUMP>".

As for gay references...Jack happened to mention a past boyfriend, while there was the running thing regarding the air steward. Past Torchwoods have contained far more than that.

I'm enjoying Miracle Day, but I still think that Children of Earth was far superior. Still, there's eight episodes left, so plenty of time for it to get better.

Re: Torchwood : Series 4 - Miracle Day (Starz)
 

Im enjoying it so far. :)

Re: Torchwood : Series 4 - Miracle Day (Starz)
 

I think with the American influence it could have been a lot worse.. I'm though actually enjoying it

Re: Torchwood : Series 4 - Miracle Day (Starz)
 

It seems OK so far. The storyline has been set and the new characters introduced so far seem fine. How well the "Americanization" sits with me remains to be seen but I was left wanting to see what happens so I guess I must have enjoyed the first episode.

Re: Torchwood : Series 4 - Miracle Day (Starz)
 

I'm confused, have I missed an episode; the first one was only last week.

You're in the US Timeline thread.

Re: Torchwood : Series 4 - Miracle Day (Starz)
 

Oops! :doh:

Is there a UK timeline thread?

Re: Torchwood : Series 4 - Miracle Day (Starz)
 

Indeedy.

Re: Torchwood : Series 4 - Miracle Day (Starz)
 

Thanks. ;) :cool:

Re: Torchwood : Series 4 - Miracle Day (Starz)
 

Watched all the episodes for far and noticed

Episode 3 was edited a lot for the UK viewing

Notably the Mature audience scenes (Sexual Content)

But it seems like your average American show to be honest.

Starts slow... Teases the name of the baddies... Reveals the bad dudes then ends all happily.

Not saying I'm not enjoying it though :D Although it did look for a second in episode 4 that they were about to give away the cause and that would have been naff! so early in the show
