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?

I left the regular TW community on LJ a while ago, so I didn't know whether it was getting a big reaction there or not - someone in the DW community is trying to big up MD, that's most of what I've seen. But seriously, an American audience is supposed to buy that the OMG they've got toll bridges stuff? The most energetic discussion I've seen on a general sci-fi site was a discussion of the Barrowman's accent - real American, fake American or what? for saying "maaahl-ware"

It's pretty quiet at the TW community, much much more than I thought it would be.

There have been 25 comments on the review and reaction posts combined in the past 24 hours. I've never seen such apathy in the face of new canon. I bet the radio plays will get more reaction than that.

Maybe this is a good thing. There doesn't seem to be any huge flame wars and people are mostly 'meh'. If the radio plays do get a good response, maybe TPTB will get the idea...(wishful thinking?)

It may get more when it airs on the beeb.

But wasn't the whole point of going to the US/Starz the idea that there would be a lot of interest from new viewers and old fans?
Guess that didn't work...

Plus, the American public has already been introduced to TW via its previous series on BBCA. BBCA reaches a GREAT DEAL more homes in the US than Starz. Somewhere like 69 million for BBCA and between 22-25 million for Starz. So, I would think those Americans curious about the show, have already been exposed.
