Fabulous, isn't it? I think I shall firmly forget about the 'Torchwood' label (a little hard, they mention it about every ten seconds) and just settled for genre entertainment. Hmmm, I think that would depend very much on context and outcome, but that does seem more promising than a mere corporate/government conspiracy. Trying to think of it not as Torchwood seems like a very good idea, though. I'm sure for what it is it's pretty good . . .
Oh go on go on go on go on go on go on go on ... ;)I've not read the books (yet), but I will. Until then I have to settle for loving the film! *g* OMG, did you see the trailer when it came out? Even if you did, go watch it again cause you'll get so much more out of it. I still remember the first time I saw it, in a packed movie theater, before The Dark Knight--I think I was hyperventilating by the end, and so was everybody else, and then we all broke into applause and whooping. It really wasn't so much a proper movie trailer as it was a fanvid for the people who already knew the graphic novel. If you didn't know the material already, I can't imagine what you'd think of it . . .
Well I like it as a mirror for humanity, as a tool for exploring what it means to be human. A metaphor, you know? Oh yes! I can see why it *would* be meaningful, it's just something that never quite gels for me. That said, it never bothers me either--it's just sort of there.
MD has... zero metaphors so far. OK, that's not true. Jack is reflected in both Oswald Danes and Rex, but... This is my big issue with Sherlock--it's just so flat.
But still, he could have kept just a weevil or two. Heck, I'd be grateful for a Slitheen right about now... HAhahahahaa! Oh god, don't say that too loud!
Darcy and I were joking about this, actually, how it'd be fun if the Miracle was orchestrated by Ebil Alienz who wanted fresh hoomins to eat forever. We're a bit odd, did you know? Hee! I am on board for this plot development!
Also he - RTD - gets preachy. It's very watchable, but... Yeah, this was the heart of Sepinwall's gripe, with the way that manifests in character motivations and cardboard bad guys and general heavy-handed story telling.
