Torchwood: Miracle Day

[belboid]

just caught up...god what a stupid bloody episode. yes, we know Jack likes a bit of action, we dont need to see it thank you very much. And poorly plotted, if you're going to introduce such a major character so late, you should at least drop some clues that there is going to be such a person, that someone, anyone, from Jacks past is going to be key to the whole thing. Still, only two to go, may as well stick with it.

 

[strung out]

three to go innit?

 

[belboid]

quite right, you are

I saw episode 8 of this last night and it really is terrible. Can anyone tell me what the actual purpose of that Oswald Danes character is? He's spent the entire series to date just sort of hanging around, sparring with the redhead who used to be in Six Feet Under and exuding sleaze and evil. But none of it ever goes anywhere!

 

[Santino]

Remember how in the first couple of episodes you could cut someone's head off and they'd still be conscious? Now you can shoot someone and they sort-of-die, because otherwise it's impossible to quickly resolve conflicts with a gun.

 

[Kizmet]

I don't think a lot of these 'plotholes' really are inconsistencies at all.

I think it's excellently conceived, well written and acted and a gripping storyline. First tv show in a long time that has me waiting a week for the next one.

I've been catching up with Torchwood. Series 1 was a bit meh, series 2 was pretty good and I loved series 3. So I watched the first episode of series 4 with a bit of hope.

Oh my god. Absolute fucking dross. Really fucking awful. I'm currently half way through episode 2 and it's no better.

What in the fuck happened? Americanized bollocks. Fucking Yanks, have to ruin everything.

 

[DexterTCN]

Well I've watched this much so will watch the last one next week. I won't be watching again though. Dire.

 

[kabbes]

I have to admit that I am determined to see this series through and have watched episodes 3 and 4 now too. And if anything, it has got worse. At this point, it's like some kind of challenge to myself that having downloaded it, I'm damn well watching it.

Such a shame. Series three really found its heart and purpose. A superb 5 hours of television. I had so much hope for series four.

 

[Helen Back]

Just one more day to go for us downloadin' folk and it will all be over. Phew!

 

[feedmeastraycat]

The Blessing... does it remind anyone of anything?

 

[Santino]

The Blessing... does it remind anyone of anything?

Can you widen this question out a little?

 

[feedmeastraycat]

Think 'Freud'.

 

[Pseudopsycho]

A massive gash in the earth? I have no idea what that could be...

 

[feedmeastraycat]

Yup that's the one.

If I was a Freudist I'd probably say that this torchwood series RTD is living out his eurotophobia.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I forgot this was still on.
What's happened?

 

[feedmeastraycat]

Basically, if Jack hasn't bummed a guy on-screen he soon will, the series is running on Holocaust analogies and at the centre of it all is a giant vagina.

Oh and welsh people are unintentionally hillarious, even when positioned in situations of abject horror.

This is the greatest program of all time.

 

[captainmission]

i don't get how the big earth vigiana runs through the centre of the earth with it being horizontal. But maybe te last episode will explain everthing and make up for 9 hours of awfulness

 

[Pseudopsycho]

They must have stolen the Earth's core otherwise that would be gushing magma

 

[captainmission]

the earth has no core, its full of lesbian lizard ladies!

 

[London_Calling]

I saw twenty mins. Love the ambitious public transport idea. Prob needs a few more stops.

 

[Santino]

It has the stink of something that will be deleted from 'the canon' in a year or two. Or it turned out to be in a parallel dimension or something.

 

[London_Calling]

It must be the lure of filthy lucre that blinds otherwise sensible people to repeat the idiocy of mid-Atlantic drama.

 

[Santino]

the idiocy of mid-Atlantic drama.

What, like 'Titanic'?

 

[Gromit]

I was waiting for something wow to happen at the blessing.
Two women standing and looking at a magical, giant gash... that don't impress a me much.

 

[London_Calling]

I dunno about that....

 

[belboid]

if the blessing told Claire from Six Feet Under that she's 'right' - does that mean it basically told her she's a giant cunt?

 

[Kizmet]

If you reckon that looked anything like a giant vagina then the blessing has told you you're a bit of a cunt...

 

[Gromit]

if the blessing told Claire from Six Feet Under that she's 'right' - does that mean it basically told her she's a giant cunt?

Right as in Right Wing.... so yes.

 

[19sixtysix]

A massive gash in the earth? I have no idea what that could be...

They seemed to talk about the gash in the Inbetweeners film a lot.
I'm not really getting the plot here.
