Incredible that Chibnall could write both Power of Three and Dinosaurs on a Spaceship. I guess everyone really does have their good and bad days.
LOL about Torchwood. Honestly, it just never grabbed me. I've seen all the episodes, though (mostly because I can go over my friends' house, eat, drink, and watch TV, and it's an amusing way to pass time between seasons of Who). I thought CoE was just amazing storytelling. But Miracle Day--UGH UGH UGH, definitely got eaten by the crack in the universe. I knew it was going to be bad when I saw Jane Espenson's name crop up. And it was like four episodes' worth of story stretched out over ten episodes. I still want that ten hours of my life back. OMG, that stupid blonde lady in the CIA, I WANTED TO JUST FREAKING KILL HER FOR THE WHOLE TEN HOURS!! (Also my sister works in military security and the idea of one worker taking a name tag out of someone else's purse was just so laughable: your badge is ON and visible at all times when you work in those fields--where my sister works, they literally will fire you for not having your name tag on and visible). But I digress. ; D
I Googled my W/T article, and lo it's still up on the net! Here's the link, right here. Enjoy!
Ten years out, I feel like it still holds up pretty well. My bias is obvious, but I like to think (or delude myself, heh) that I argued my case pretty well.
