6 days?! Ha, screw that then. I'll be sticking with this thread. Anyone waiting for the BBC broadcast should remember that that will require a separate "UK Timeline" thread.
Just finished watching the first episode, and I'm relieved to say, it felt like a Torchwood episode..
I rather enjoyed it, and am quite looking forward to the next one now
The scene where Captain Jack appeared in the CIA records room, seemed very reminiscent of the Doctor Who moment where Sarah Jane stumbles upon The Doctor while trying to hide from the Krillitanes, in the episode School Reunion.. anyone else?
Although it did seem rather obvious there was a link between Jack and the episode's theme (however it happened) I'm glad they didn't try to cram the whole story into one episode.
Also, was expecting a whacking great Starz logo, and other nonsense popping up throughout, but it was as if I was watching a BBC rip, clean as a whistle.

Re: Torchwood : Series 4 - Miracle Day (Starz)
No spoiler tags required. This thread is for discussing the US broadcasts. If you want to remain spoiler free until the UK broadcast then visit the following thread.
The link between Jack and the rest of the world is clearly there but is certainly not the full picture, He wouldnt give it away in the very first episode.
- Jack's Immortality has gone
- At the exact moment Jack crashes the CIA computers and wipes them clean of everything Torchwood related, everyone ceases to die but he becomes mortal.
- 22:36
All I picked up on.

Promising start to Torchwood Miracle Day, despite the Americanisation (or should that be "Americanization"?). I think it will be hard for it to live up to Children of Earth though...
So, some questions...
- Who would want to make everyone immortal, and why?
Or, perhaps more importantly...
- Who would want to make Jack mortal, and why?
- Why is the CIA involved?

I thought that 22:36 was when the "Torchwood" email went through, not when Jack crashed the computers (a separate event)?
The prisoner on death row surely has a lot more to do with the story and event than meets the eye otherwise why involve him in more than two scenes?
One showing him receiving the Lethal Injection and surviving, One showing him engaged in a conversation demanding release from prison and the other showing him released.
He is also the first person we see to cheat death.

It's also Bill Pullman, he's signed as a series regular in Torchwood

As much as I believe Oswald Danes has something to do with it, I can see him being a good guy for some reason.
The next parts are in spoiler tags because if I am correct it will be this complete series revealed already :P
Spoiler:
Immortality.. Jack Harkness. Jack will confront a man that he thought was long dead. A mention of Three families is made and the plotline revolves around Immortality. The last episode is called The blood line. I remember quite well a two parter from Doctor Who called Family of Blood about Aliens trying to gain Immortality but he never killed them, just suspended them in time and as it speaks of Three families it could be possible they were rescued and this is what is happening.
A long shot but thats all I have until we get a bit further in.
I also get a strong feeling they are going to kill Jack at the end of this and re-invent the whole team.. American team. If that happens I have no intention of watching it again.

Entirely possible he's been set up by "the Governor" who ever that is?

Wouldn't have thought spoiler tags were necessary for what is (for now at least) a theory?
But hey..
Spoiler:
Would seem you don't remember the 2 parter quite as well as you think you do, given the second part was called Human Nature
Yeah, I am of course being petty.. It's certainly an interesting theory, and it might be the sort of thing RTD would come up with to reassure fans, that it's still the same show, in the same Whoniverse..
I also get a strong feeling they are going to kill Jack at the end of this and re-invent the whole team.. American team. If that happens I have no intention of watching it again.
Really cant see them getting rid of John Barrowman to be honest, not unless they really want to lose a massive chunk of the shows fanbase.
But if they do lose the plot and decide to re-invent Torchwood by completely Americanizing it, I'll be switching off as well.
