One day... nobody dies...

So we're now 30% of the way through Torchwood: Miracle Day and I have very little idea what's going on beyond the original what if. I'm sure an episode and a half into Children Of Earth things were a bit clearer.

And I've resisted the temptation to make one of those cut-out-and-keep Soulless masks.

  1. Is it significant that the masks have the cyberman-like tear drop by the eye?

  2. Innnteresting. They certainly qualify as (a) immortal and (b) soulless...

    But RTD has indicated no direct Who crossovers. Although I wouldn't put it past him to dissemble, I'd guess a classic Who monster would be a bit much. Especially after last time they visited the show.

  3. This may be due to the decompression one often sees in America tv. Miracle Day is TWICE as long as Children of Earth, but does it have more to say?

    It's still better than other U.S. long arc shows at this point though, probably because 10 episodes is a lot more compressed than 20 or, and this has happened, trying to plan out a four-year story.

  4. We'll see, when all is said and done, I guess... I figure three episodes in should say about as much as one and a half, but they were about level after one episode and now slacking off...
