Lol.
I just saw a trailer for Miracle Day, whatever episode we're on now, I neither know nor care. So, I take it Gwen's doing another one of those talking heads "If anyone finds this video this is what we did and we're SO SORRY... " videos AGAIN? Why didn't Rusty just remake CoE to be longer and have less redeeming charm? Oh, no, wait, he did.
Franklin and Bash, tonight, guys. Not even a trailer for Torchwood can dampen my spirits on Franklin and Bash night.

They've been using a whole lot of webchats, though. And Gwen's got the contact lens camera thingy. Trying to figure out how she got those back since, last we saw them, Bridget Spears had them recording the PM in CoE5.
They're a very handy lazy plotting option, though.

So, in that case, it must be the mainframe.
I want that mainframe and the whatever room it lives in. It can survive a bomb with a 2 KM blast radius. Dude, that's some SERIOUS hardware. In MD, they're taking down entire top-of-the-line server arrays with an ickle blow torch (cleverly deceiving the sysadmins who will apparently believe that only ONE server in an entire farm will have fire damage). But not only has the mainframe survived, it has stayed running all this time with no one tending it. Apparently, the worlds most kick ass NOS. It must be a 51st century version of Linux.

Because having a proper hot site would have ruined the theme of stripping them of everything, and they might have possibly had a chance to come up with a decent plan instead of wasting a day setting up. Unfortunately, it also stripped Toshiko's dignity. No geek, NO geek of her caliber, would have left the team adrift like that. Then again, they more or less did that in CoE by having the baddies claim they'd hacked TW's servers already. More likely, Tosh had a honeypot waiting and they just thought they got something. :)

Yes, because we all know sysadmins are dumb as bricks, and each rack has it's own sysadmin who doesn't speak to any other sysadmins in the building. ::eyeroll::
But not only has the mainframe survived, it has stayed running all this time with no one tending it.
And apparently no one's tried to do anything with it since they tried to blow it up. Like you said, SERIOUS hardware. Also, I'd love to know where they were storing the TW software - in Jack's
vortex manipulatorpotassium monitor? Gwen's contacts?Apparently she was on quite friendly terms with the government until she decided they needed to HIDE!
Well, apparently she didn't really mean they needed to HIDE, based on her actions in the first ep (no disguise attempt at all, going to visit Daddy in Cardiff hospital, visiting with Andy in a nurses' station while using the hospital's computer network, etc.) and she's behaving like the same old Gwen in the fifth ep (she *did* have a passport in an assumed name, but proceeded to be all shouty-make-a-scene-Gwen later, still without disguise.)

Oh, wait, PhiCorp only had ONE sysadmin, that Nicholas DeadParrotkin guy. So now no one will know of their evil plan! *muahaha*
(Um, yeah, hi, tencrush, sorry, the geeks have taken over your journal)

Um, yeah. ::waves a sheepish hello:: Sorry.

Apparently episode 6 mostly focuses on Rex, Esther and Gwen in the death camps and doesn't have much in the way of Jack until the end, so he's definately being underused this year and isn't part of the show in the way that he used to be. Episode 7 focuses on Jack but that's regarding his past - again.
Why are Torchwood nearly always reponsible for the world's problems?

Torchwood? Apparently, it's really just Jack. We'll see...
And is there really a "Torchwood" at this point? Is the Crown cutting their paychecks again? "We're Torchwood." Whatever, Rex.

Episode 8 and 9 will be reaction shots.
(No, I don't actually know this for a fact, I'm just going off of past performance.)

Jack is not only diminished as a character, but I just keep feeling that JB wants to go and have a little rest, he seems barely there. It really is pointing to his demise. I keep wondering how long before JBs next book detailing how unhappy he was with the whole thing.
Wow episode 6 sounds like a barrel of laughs, the end of ep 5 seems to have upset so many people that I imagine fewer will tune in, but I wonder how many will be able to stick it out through that one.

It also aired on Starz as part of the pre-season launch.
The video is part of the trailer for episode 5, I can't imagine how it can't be in the episode as it's part of the BBC trailer, which then says it's on Thursday, it features various scenes from the ep, including this video.
Ugh. I really hope that doesn't mean the rest of that footage is used at some point in MD. It was all so melodramatic and over-acted IMO.
Someone needs to take the camera away from Gwen...seriously.

What I CAN see happening is Gwen's father dying by the end of the series, perhaps as a result of the 'miracle' being defeated. That's what Gwen could be referencing in that trailer.
I could still be wrong though.. :)
