Torchwood : Series 4 - Miracle Day (BBC)
 
So, given that the upcoming series of Torchwood (Torchwood: Miracle Day) is not going to be broadcast in the UK until Thursday the 14th of July (six days after the US broadcast), it now has its own "UK Timeline" thread.

With all the extra people, resources are finite. It’s said that in four month's time, the human race will cease to be viable. But this can’t be a natural event – someone’s got to be behind it. It’s a race against time as C.I.A. agent Rex Matheson investigates a global conspiracy. The answers lie within an old, secret British institute. As Rex keeps asking “What is Torchwood?", he’s drawn into a world of adventure, and a threat to change what it means to be human, forever.

“Torchwood,” premiering July 8, stars John Barrowman (“Torchwood”, “Desperate Housewives”) as Captain Jack Harkness, Eve Myles (“Torchwood”, “Little Dorrit") as Gwen Cooper, Mekhi Phifer (“ER”, “Lie to Me”) as Rex Matheson and Bill Pullman (While You Were Sleeping, Independence Day) as Oswald Danes.

CF members waiting for the BBC broadcast should use this thread, as the original "US Timeline" thread will feature un-tagged spoilers of episodes broadcast in the US before the UK.

I can't see this thread being too popular ;)

Looks like I could be in here all alone then...

HHHmmm well I plan to watch it on BBC.

:wavey: makes two of us. Even if I was into torrentz, I'm on holiday during the first two eps so I wouldn't be in a position to download them.

Oh, who gives a flyin' frak that we're getting it a week late? Bottom line: we're getting it! If they want to do something so stupid as to tempt people into illegal downloads, well, it's not as if there's been no precedent or warning - the dozy bungers only have themselves to blame.

On a more relevant note, sticking to what's important here, who's writing it and is it any good?

EDIT: Oh, hang on - apparently RTD's writing it. We have a chance.

For the sake of a few days I'll watch this in the UK. Aquisition from other sources is fine if they aren't being shown on an accessible UK platform (far too much stuff seems to end up on Sky Atlantic for example), or there is a lag of a few weeks. Otherwise the V+ just makes viewing at UK transmission time so much more convenient than a download.

I just hope that it is as good as the last Torchwood series.

I'll be watching the first couple of episodes from the USA but setting a TiVo series link for the rest as I am on holiday from next weekend.

I will be acquiring the BBC episodes to collect, but i see no point in not watching it on Starz first..

Not a bad start the idea that jack could die but no one eles could was intresting

My V+ crashed part way through while I was time slipping viewing. Going to have to wait for it on iplayer now :(

One thing that makes me curious. If Cheryl Cole's geordie accent was deemed to hard to understand for the USA X-Factor audience, how on earth will they cope with the Welsh accents in Torchwood :confused:

one thing i did wonder about is where this all fits in to doctor who's timeline

Meh.

The Comic Strip Presents Torchwood.

Hopefully it will improve now they've got all the exposition out of the way, but the Hollywood oil slick isn't going to go away. Children of Earth it ain't.

I thought it was very good. I enjoyed it.

I enjoyed it as far as it goes. Kai Owen is certainly out of his comfort zone in this one, he doesn't do Action Man very well at all and I think the whole trip from the hospital bed to the little Welsh cottage was just far too silly for words, but then it is Torchwood. :D

Wow. Loved this first episode, just amazing! :D

So not only do we have Lone Star from Spaceballs in this, as of last night we also have Kira Nerys and Q from Star Trek. :D

Kira appeared last week.

Yes, but her appearance was so brief I didn't notice.

Re: Torchwood : Series 4 - Miracle Day (BBC)
 
Was Torchwood on again last night ... I didn't notice ;)

Honestly, I got so bored with this that I stopped watching a couple of eps back now, and I don't feel like I'm missing anything. It has been really disappointing and I'm wishing they had just left it with Children of Earth, which was in an entirely different class than this drawn-out, over-glossed rubbish.

Lew 15-09-2011 23:16

Re: Torchwood : Series 4 - Miracle Day (BBC)
 
Well, I enjoyed it at least. Nice twist at the end. :)

Perhaps ironically, I though Children of Earth (while good) was drawn out a little too long. This wasn't excellent, but was an enjoyable actioner.

I enjoyed it...although it wasn't the best. The whole Rex becoming immortal thing was unexpected, if a little weird.

Yeah, the ending was totally there to set up an American spinoff.

Enjoyed the last episode, pretty predictable that Rex was now immortal.
So were the 3 family's terrestrial or et?
Oswald was so dark right before he exploded, true evil, good writing there.
Line of the episode.."why do you wear so much lipstick".

Goodish series, a little fillered in the middle episodes though.

I enjoyed it, hope they continue with some more.

I enjoyed this series even though it could have been better. I expect if you reach a high like in previous series everybody will expect so much more for the next one.

Good ending and I hope they make another series. Much better than Doctor who? :p:

I have to agree.

I was wondering about Ester, if she's really dead or not. I know that she was wanted by the CIA so wondering if Torchwood put her somewhere safe perhaps.
