US Timeline : Torchwood : Series 4 - Miracle Day (Starz)

[Tezcatlipoca]

I'm still enjoying it, but... it's still not actually very good, IMO. Yes, it's enjoyable, but it's no Children of Earth (I know I keep saying that, but CoE really was awesome), and, well, it it wasn't for the presence of Jack & Gwen enabling it to be called "Torchwood" it would just be your average run-of-the-mill likely-to-be-canned-after-one-season US SF series.

I am really enjoying it and can't wait to see how it pans out.

I have to agree but that said I am thoroughly enjoying it.

Hopefully it won't get canned after the present season.

The ending tonight @ 3am


Would like to thank all the internet trolls for posting a bucket of spoilers thanks to a Spanish version that was leaked.

Would like to thank the Telegraph for backing up those spoilers -_-

It wasnt brilliant to be fair but it was still a decent series and with the ending revealed it brings me to question the future of torchwood as many others are asking questions already too.

You will know more when you see the ending. Still going to watch it

It's been pretty good, not to mention pointing out all the parts of Swansea and South Wales I recognise

I really wish they'd tone down the "gayness" though. Most of it is totally pointless and seems only to be there to cause a reaction.

Just watched The Blood Line.. Not too sure how i felt about this episode.

What with all the seriously over the top performances, unnecessarily dramatic build ups, glaringly obvious plot holes, and underwhelming solutions.. Never mind, It would seem i probably do know how i felt about it.

Really thought RTD had at last seen sense and decided to kill off all the American cast members in one fell swoop, then we get a plot twist like that.

Real shame about Esther though, i actually started to like her, and thought she was someone i could easily see being a regular member of the team.

I know that RTD loves these long form stories, but he needs to learn how to create them properly. While this series has been good, we've had whole episodes where not much has happened. I think other series (such as Buffy The Vampire Slayer) have handled the long storyline far better by having other storylines to compliment it.

pretty crappy ending to an awful series.

Nobody can tell me that was better than the 5 parter COE.

Agreed. The episode where Angelo is introduced seemed to be 20% plot and 80% RTD trying to find out how far he could push the boundaries of decency and pointlessness with the over-use of homosexuality.

Although RTD was one of the Executive Producers of Miracle Day, and involved with handling the overall story, he didn't write every episode - he actually only wrote the first and co-wrote the second. The Angelo episode was written by US TV writer Jane Espenson.

Anyway.... Meh. Enjoyable enough, yet also... lame. Not a patch on Children of Earth. Too much filler, stupid Big Bad, crappy ending.

And WTF was up with Rex coming back to life? I didn't find that a shocking or clever twist, it just made me swear at the TV and impolitely tell the programme to leave.
