Let it never be said that you are not easy to please ; ) Heh. As it happens Watchmen was on the telly last night, and oh. ♥ So damn bleak and horrible and about humanity's worst impulses (I love The Comedian to pieces!), but all done through the use of 'superheroes' and someone Other (Dr Manhattan hits about fifty million of my kinks), so it's not even *aliens* I want, just otherness. And in MD there's none. Re. the Miracle, I remembered this quote from The Incredibles:
Helen: Everyone's special, Dash. Dash: [muttering] Which is another way of saying no one is.
*pokes Miracle Day*
They took out all the sci-fi and just kept the HUMANITY. Which... I like to explore through things which are not human. Well, at least there's Jilly.
Alan Sepinwall, whose opinions I tend to trust, just posted a deliciously zingy review of the fifth episode explaining why he won't be blogging the show anymore, with added 'arrrgh, Rusty, why are you being Rusty again, you were doing so well!' So, yeah . . . *smiles placidly and unconcernedly* LOL. Yeah, I think that's it. Also - like I've said before - it's so SLOW! So much of it is just STORY. Moffat has totally spoiled me with his insane stripping down of plot to the bare essentials, where you have to watch stuff at least twice to know what's going on. And then a few episodes later there'll be A BIG REVEAL and everything that came before will have to be re-watched in light of this and... *sigh* I'm looking forward to the 27th. ;)
ETA: Sorry about all the edits. You know, I think it's basically a Conspiracy Theory thing, what with all the Evil People Controlling Everything. I'm eagerly awaiting someone declaring: 'You have no idea what you're dealing with!' (Unless someone's already said it. That's entirely possible.)
