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 hear you. I never really started missing Sam Tyler until I watched Ashes to Ashes, ie, a comparatively (overwhelmingly) substandard show without him in it.

I've seen the first ep-and it did pretty much what I thought it would in terms of in jokes, repetition, implausible events and predictability. I had forgotten Eve Myles' limitations as an actress. Everything I loved about TW was gone long ago, and this isn't really worth waiting through the commercial breaks. Do I want it to fail? Maybe a little. But I'm not going to go pick fights with people about it.

Love you. Surround yourself with people who hate it as well, the comments are a lot of fun XD

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. :\

I wonder if Jack will contemplate killing himself perminantly whilst he's got the chance? It's something I would love to see and something RTD has hopefully thought about.

Episode 1 wasn't all that great and it was a tad too 'action driven' for my taste but when the show has to 're-establish' who various characters are for a new audience - again! - and grab their attention fairly quickly, I wasn't expecting it to be great.

I'm taking each episode one at a time.

Really sorry it made you sad by being bad, but you did predict this, a while ago when you posted that the title was shit. And you are always right. I know it's hard though, because you're wrong about things that you don't want to be!!

I've not seen it yet, but it sounds pretty dull from what I've read.
