Oh, my sides...

Just in case you think I may have stopped following Miracle Day fandom all together (Yo, this is what I'm calling that show now, it saves typing and, you know, it makes a lot more sense this way.) I TOTALLY HAVEN'T.

Dudes, the Jane Espenson Ep 7 Jack's timeline continuity fail and her subsequent apologetic clueless twittering is the most hilarious thing to happen to this fandom since Jack made his grandson bleed out of every orifice for the sake of srs drama.

Should I watch episode 7, guys? I take it not much has happened since episode 1, so I should be good to go, yeah?

It's so funny isn't it? Yes she's cocked up. RTD has also cocked up. Why not just leave it at that and apologise. The fact that she's then stirred fans who are desperately clinging on in the hope that this will make sense, into a frenzy of trying to make this fit into series 2 Jack's timeline, is just inept. It's clear she has no idea, and is making it up as she goes along. Even agreeing that it's an alternate timeline.

I haven't seen this episode yet, but the torture scenes sound repulsive and gratuitous, and that guy Angelo badly needs a haircut. I'm assuming you can live without seeing Barrowman naked, unless you've suddenly decided you like him, so I guess the only thing worth watching for is Jack and Gwen having a row.

I'm not sure if that's worth it or not. I was planning to watch it, but the more I read about it, the more I can't be arsed.

I haven't watched this episode yet either, but if you feel you simply *must* keep up with the show and don't feel a burning (no pun intended, but heh, get it? Burning?) urge to do so, try the AfterElton recaps. They're much less painful and headache-inducing.

I haven't been watching the TW:MD crapfest at all so I have no idea what's going on but I am curious. What's the timeline continuity fail?

Should you watch episode 7?

Well, if you don't mind seeing Jack being passionate and tender towards Angelo in a way that he wasn't passionate and tender towards Ianto, go for it....If Ianto had never existed, you could view episode 7 as a new little lovestory, albet with a violent and bloody end. Virtually the entire episode centres on Jack's relationship with Angelo and also Jack and Gwen's bitchy arguement - which is quite entertaining, I have to say. There's hardly any Rex and Esther and no Oswald and Jilly.

This whole mess has given me my first grins about MD since they announced the bloody trainwreck.

Well, I seem to be in the minority of loving the episode. DK about the Espenson controversy. I assume Jack had to have time travelled from some time in S1 or 2, er, some how.

IS IT TRUE that Jack is a vampire?
