Miracle Day ep 5.
So, that. Some expected reactions, some unexpected. To begin with the latter:
1. I am grateful that Ianto's dead and is not around for this story. No really. Grateful.
2. The story might be going somewhere interesting (well I hope so, otherwise it's just downright offensive), but I'd forgotten how regular (not-CoE) RTD stuff can feel like being hit over the head with a large brick. Repeatedly.
3. WHEN WILL THEY DO SOMETHING WITH JACK??? His story is by far the most interesting, and so far he's been nothing more than a muted shadow on the edges. I know ZERO about what he feels. (Except that he wants to die, but that one's a no brainer.)
4. Mostly, I kinda feel like I need a bath? I don't particularly want to keep watching (except to find out who dunnit, of course), since RTD's worldview is so completely different to my own that I feel like I'm being forcefed cod liver oil. Very, very slowly.
ETA: All that said, there's a good article here trying to look at what MD is doing and why.
5. Actually, I think my main problem is that I don't need a TV show to tell me that humans can be monsters. All I have to do is turn on the news.
(6. Unless something drastically changes, in my personal head-canon the crack is going to eat Miracle Day! *g* So all the effects will still be there, but no one will remember except for Jack.)

I've always taken issue with RTD's particular brand of force-feeding me worldviews that I think are stupidly and unnecessarily extreme, and this... just takes the cake.

I'll probably keep watching, but... I don't really want to. It's kinda repulsive. And I know that's the point, but... *shudders*

*nods* CoE worked because it was all so rushed and desperate. This whole slow build-up and everything being pre-planned... I dunno. It's just unpleasant.
