Torchwood: Miracle Day
I might post a poll later. Or I might not. I am a WOMAN OF MYSTERY.

Re: Torchwood: Miracle Day
I have to be candid- not really catching `on` too well with the new Torchwood! The second episode in my eyes was mostly `padding` To take up virtually one episode with the Plane flight rather bored me.
Only my personal viewpoint!

Re: Torchwood: Miracle Day
I tend to agree. Episode 1 wasn't bad (though Jack and Gwen seem to be relegated to supporting roles) but episode two was basically fifty minutes of nothing in particular. And I really don't care about the American characters...

Re: Torchwood: Miracle Day
My view is that this series is really tailored for American viewer habits! US viewers seemingly happy to watch shows like `Lost` `Heroes` `The Event` all of which I left after a few eps due to such obvious `padding`
I really loved Torchwood when it was single (or double) contained eps each adventure! The previous Torchwood series (The `abducted` children) was-for me- just dragged out and rather boring by the end. Sadly, i'm finding same this series! I just cannot stick with series that are shaped like this i'm afraid! my loss-but there it is!

Re: Torchwood: Miracle Day
If it's dragging now, I hate to think what it'll be like by episode ten...

Well, Tony- it is dragging for me! but that may just be my lack of attention span. If others find it OK, well and good! I wish it well, but I do admit I found ep 2 somewhat less than enthralling! oh dear!

Never mind, Alan. Only another month and Doctor Who will be back...
Then we can all be baffled again instead of bored!

Re: Torchwood: Miracle Day
Its just something with me! I do find it hard to follow storylines stretched over more than four 30min episodes! Hence my bieng `lost` with the themes in the Dr Who series that are now bieng expanded over more than one season now (The crack in the Universe!)
I have to consider many fans love the extended stuff-but I really can't stay with it!

I think the way the classic series did it was better. So it's not just you

Re: Torchwood: Miracle Day
At least with Dr Who - although it too has a `long theme` you do get some self contained stories within that which I can follow better!
If the only future for the Torchwood series is these `long themed` efforts- they're going to leave me behind. But! I don't begrudge any fans who enjoy that style! Lucky old them!

Re: Torchwood: Miracle Day
Judging by last night's episode, they seem to be just treading water. For three weeks now, precisely nothing has happened to further the plot.

Re: Torchwood: Miracle Day
I didn't even make it all the way through the first episode
If it's got no plot, it must be Art.

I don't think that's quite how it works in this case, Luce...

If it's got no plot or contains nudey wimmin, it's Art. That's how Art works.
