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 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.

I suppose it'll be kind of ironic if they have him fighting to live considering he's been the posterboy for the main theme of this season for the past three series.

The only problem with Jack contemplating permanent death is that I think his sense of duty won't let him do anything until the whole 'miracle day' situation is resolved, and by then it'll be too late for him.
Of course given the light hearted optimism that RTD is soooo well known for in all his works, I would be quite unsurprized if the final episode includes a scene of Jack trying to top himself, only the 'miracle day' is over and he's immortal again.

I don't think Jack would 'seriously' consider killing himself perminantly but he might think about it for just a second - it would be strange if he didn't. After all, he's got millions of years worth of watching loved ones die to look forward to, including Gwen's death.

Not sure whether it's spoilery, but read back a couple of entries on this journal. Tencrush has always been right, even when we insisted there was no way they would kill Ianto, she stuck to her prediction. So, yeah, I think she's right this time as well...............
