Torchwood: Miracle Day episode one "The New World"

[David cgc]

First interesting thing is that the head stayed alive despite being deattched from the body, is this evience of some sort of soul?

No, I don't really think so. Now, "They Keep Killing Suzy," where Suzy was walking around talking without any kind of impairment despite the face that the back of her head and most of her brain was missing, that was evidence of a soul. Which made her and Gwen's conversation about whether there's an afterlife later on a little strange.

I gave up on torwood after 3 episodes of the first series. Then I heard Children of Earth was good so I thought I'd give it another go. I think it's a really interesting idea with lots of potential. Well executed as well although the helicpter chase didn't feel right. The cut to the beach was too quick but they've sure improved the budget from the first series.

To clarify, did you see Children of Earth?

 

[G2309]

No unfortunately I missed it. When do people think Torchwood came into its own?

 

[Guy Gardener]

After we'd cleaned up our trots from watching Cyberwoman.

(I think that was episode 3?)

G2309, you really, really need to watch CoE. You're missing some very good SF.

 

[G2309]

That cyberwoman episode is what really put me off. I guess I've got some catching up to do.

Well, Children of Earth was the real shining moment; but season 2 in general is a lot more watchable than season 1.

Ironically, Cyberwoman was when I came around and accepted Torchwood. Not that there was anything wrong with the previous episodes, it was just after Cyberwoman when I decided "yes, this is a show worth watching."

I mean, yes the Cyberwoman's costume/lack thereof was ridiculous and embarassing, but look past that and it's actually a fairly decent episode.

I also found the action and direction clumsy but it was a long time ago I'll have to see if a friend has it on dvd.

Right there with you. I was shocked to be chastised for thinking it was a pretty good episode. I too, thought the episode was the place where I decided I was definitely going to ride it out.
