TW Miracle Day part 3

Well I was spoiled up the wazoo for this one (my own fault), so it felt kinda slow? The fact that my brain is half dead from intensive work related training might also have something to do with it.

Anyway, it's still odd to be so removed from something I once loved to distraction. It's like... watching through a duvet. Emotionally I mean. And the American setting REALLY doesn't help. It's like part of my brain can appreciate all the points RTD is making about death, but the other half is going 'Crikey, there's nothing like a true, good oldfashioned liberal, is there?' - or: 'OH HAI THERE, I SEE THAT DRUG COMPANIES AND RAMPANT CAPITALISM ARE EV0L. THANKS FOR CLEARING THAT UP!'


Anyway, am off to bed. Brain SERIOUSLY not with it at the moment... zzzzzzzz

I totally see what you mean. I don't like this American Torchwood. To be fair I was never a big fan of the show, mostly because of the crappy writing in S1 and 2(but, as you know, I watched it for Owen!) and Barrowman's poor acting skills, but it had a certain "silly charm" and it has lost it through Americanization.

All scenes seem to show a label, it's very predictable and preachy.
