MIRACLE DAY!

[tencrush]

Ah, right, okay, look, guys, my friends, I love you all, I really do and I wish you loads of fun and squee and all those things that people do with telly that they're enjoying, but I thought that was AWFUL, and not GOOD AWFUL like Bonekickers, but GOD AWFUL like Outcasts awful.

I seriously, don't know what to do now, because a part of me was kind of hoping I might secretly enjoy it and I really did not. (The fact that that blonde chick's strange strangulated back of the throat and up the nose voice makes me want to pierce my eardrums with knitting needles didn't help, I must admit.) As I predicted, I don't like Gwen or Jack enough to want to find out what happens next. I don't want to piss people off by not liking it and not having any desire to watch any more, but I know I will and so be it. Not liking it in any way, has also made me sadder than I thought it would make me. Fuck.

When CoE happened, I suppose I sort of went over a cliff like Wile E Coyote and now, watching Miracle Day, it's like looking down and only just realising that the ground disappeared way back there.

YEAH, ALRIGHT, THAT'S A SHITTY, FLIPPANT POP CULTURE METAPHOR, BUT THAT'S HOW IT FEELS, OKAY?

Yeah, I'm probably going to keep watching it, but solely because I really like Jack (even though he's not even as interesting anymore as I used to find him). If you don't care about Jack and Gwen I can totally see why you wouldn't give a hoot about the show, because I thought that the writing was pretty weak for the most part. I can't imagine what it would have been like watching the episode without any prior Torchwood familiarity, because the show really just drops the viewer in there without much context. :\

Apart fomr a few Gwen/Rhys scenes, I thought the writing was really quite bad, and that includes the Jack bits. If you didn't know the guy, he didn't have a lot going for him to be honest.
