Is that the asian chick you all thought was hot from Dollhouse?

 

[whisky]

Well I dont know about hot, but she could act the pants off Duckshoe.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

Which is weird because she was always terrible in Neighbours.

 

[whisky]

Is that Dirk in your AV?

 

[Fuddlemiff]

Yes, yes it is. And Lachman's onscreen brother Zeke.

I'd forgotten you had Dirk in your av too. They kind of compliment eachother.

 

[whisky]

Since I also have an actress from neighbours, yes they do, you are only missing a cartoon robot of some kind.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Bloody Torchwood!

 

[Tisiphone]

BARROWMAN

 

[whisky]

Its about time I made myself a new AV as well, when I can be arsed to make one.

Well the planet in the background is Caprica, home of the Cylons, so that kind of counts!

 

[whisky]

Close enough!

 

[Ilyanna]

Now a big part of your conversation lacks sense!
(I still like your new av, though)

 

[whisky]

Turns out I could be arsed after all.

And thanks!

 

[Loktar]

I like how creepy Indy seems to be staring at the woman.

GETTING BACK ON TOPIC

Torchwood Season 4 (or Torchwood USA) is now offically called: "Torchwood: Mircale Day".

Because that doesn't sound retarded at all.


Anyway, plot overview:

Spoiler

The plot of Miracle Day is the most explosive Torchwood storyline yet. One day, nobody dies. All across the world, nobody dies. And then the next day, and the next, and the next, people keep aging -- they get hurt and sick -- but they never die. The result: a population boom, overnight. With all the extra people, resources are finite. It’s said that in four months’ time, the human race will cease to be viable. But this can’t be a natural event – someone’s got to be behind it. It’s a race against time as C.I.A. agent Rex Matheson investigates a global conspiracy. The answers lie within an old, secret British institute. As Rex keeps asking “What is Torchwood?", he’s drawn into a world of adventure, and a threat to change what it means to be human, forever.

I hope Jack kills another family member to save the world.

 

[whisky]

Sounds like a first episode with very little of the cast we already know about in, with probably Jack appearing in the last few seconds.

Yeah, and then Jack and his brother call a medium who helps them do an astral journey, and they find one of the Reapers - a cute one, ftr - and realize that a demon kills those for his dastardly plans and then Jack and his brother save the day by shooting salt... oh. Wrong show. My bad. :noidea:

 

[Fuddlemiff]

It's an interesting scifi idea with lots of scope, but it sounds like it has typical RTD hallmarks (I don't know if RTD's involved or not, but the whole world being affected by something simultaneously... that basically happens in every RTD story).

Spoiler

Kind of weird that in trying to get everything back to normal, the characters will be committing genocide, but I do like that kind of fucked up thinking. The scenes where the government was debating which children to give to the aliens were the most thought provoking and engaging bits of Children of Earth.

Also, is that the actual logo? What happened to the nice classy one? I wonder what the significance of genetic markers is.
