Torchwood: Miracle Day

I hate the US style spoilers of the next episode why the hell would I want to know key plot points out of context to see the damn thing before I can see the Damn thing... grow up america...

still at least it'll be as a DL tonight when it airs on stars before bbc... anyone else feel as a licence payer who's paid for this the preview shouldn't be happening in the states before us... I mean we've paid for it and they get it before we do... wtf bbc...

are you sure we paid for it? from what I've read it was commisioned by starz for a US audience and we are getting the toned down version- presumably that was part of the deal that the beeb would get airing rights for a UK version and presumably the people at starz put up some dolla bill yo.

Anyone know better?

It's BBC Worldwide Productions for BBC Wales and Starz . Since BBC Worldwide is the commercial part of the BBC I assume it's not paid for by the licence fee to make but that the BBC then pay BBC Worldwide for the rights to show Torchwood.
 
How much of a 1 GB data allowance would that eat up?
Not that much, maybe about 300mb? It would cost similar to wait a day and watch it on BBC, couple of quid. You get 7gb for £25/3gb for £15. I don't watch much telly so I may as well watch what I want.
 
We haz internet, so we only have to wait a few hours ffs.

*shrugs*
we do baby girl but in effect I'm resorting to illegally downloading copies of content I've paid for and has been licenced to another channel to be shown before I'm legally allowed to see it.

The equivalent would be me buying a book from amazon but their picker packer has to read it before I can get the book....
 
He's a bit like Jesus.
Who, garf or the matey? :confused:

I personally think it was worst. episode.yet.

Far too much backstory, I suspect the UK one was about 20 min shorter if they took out all the sexing....whole bit of plot could have been fit into much less time even with the shagging.
 
So...that's how gay guys do it...I had wondered.

It's a little unfair to use Angelo as a major plot point when he was only introduced in the last ten seconds of episode 6.

However the 1920's story was certainly a lot more interesting than the 21st century one. Obviously some modern fireworks were time-travelled back for them.

The Chinese have had fireworks for thousands of years, why should 1920s ones be that different to modern ones? :confused:

They had medicine as well...and it's just as easy to differentiate between 2000 year old, 1920 and 21st century fireworks, medicine, maths etc.

Angelo is going to be well over 100, is he aged or did the 3 dudes who bought our hero find/do something to/from Jack that's allowed them top live longer...are they trying to die?

He got hooked on the alien shit and when the Cap left him ended up working with the tricksters brigade, do keep up! Why else is whoever is behind it revelling in the chaos that much?:rolleyes:

We don't know anyone is revelling. The series is pretty much designed so as it's fucking impossible to know fucking anything having watched 7 fucking hours.

Starting to look a bit like Once Upon a Time in America though

Someone wanted the chaos, or they'd have just kidnapped Gwen's family from the off to go after Jack. I reckon it's this 'tricksters brigade' that was mentioned in this latest episode, as they feed off chaos.

*shrugs*

I could be totally wrong though.

What would have been the point of introducing him earlier? He only became relevant to the story in this episode.
 
even mrs pingu was bored shitless by that episode and she loves torchwood. i fell asleep at a couple of points and as for the extended sex scenes shizzle.. meh.. added nothing to the plot. OK so you are gay.. whoop de fucking do.. get on with the fucking plot
 
I'm not averse to a bit of boy on boy action but it's so badly done. It's cheesy and squirmy and Barrowmanny :(
