Torchwood: Miracle Gay... er, Day

[Fuddlemiff]

It was an entertaining enough episode with some really nicely shot scenes here and there (mostly the montage type bits where Gwen's looking actually hot), but I didn't even understand the explanation for it all. I'm not sure it's worth even trying to, either, because it's not as if there's going to be a valid answer.

Annoying because I liked the stuff early on about what happens if no one dies, and how an organisation could control the world by changing lots of little things all over the place without any accountability. They really should've planned the story better so it made proper sense and also cut the number of episodes to five, as with Children of Earth, so it could be a tight story without any filler.

Did they kill Ester because they thought it would be EDGY or something?

 

[Fuddlemiff]

Probably. I just thought it was pointless, but at least they didn't kill off Rex too. I mean I thought Rex was a pretty lame Angry Black Man character but it'd be annoying if they killed off everyone but Jack and Gwen again.

Rex's personality changed after the first few episodes, we should have figured he'd live.

It's really stupid that this Earth is the same Earth as in Doctor Who. What happens the next time Amy and Rory go home?

Amy: Hi mum, where's that old woman played by Victor Meldrew's wife who Wacky reasonably assumed as my aunt but apparently she wasn't?
Mum: We burned her in an oven!

Oh gods, am I gonna be even more confused by Doctor Who now???

Both shows are giving me migraines.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

Like I said a couple of weeks ago, I think we just have to decide for ourselves that Torchwood takes place in an alternate universe to Doctor Who where really stupid things happen and everyone dies and nothing ever gets explained properly and Jack can be "omnisexual" but only have sex with human men. A bit like Trek fans having to decide whether they count the animated series as canon or not.

Yeah Torchwood really doesn't want to fit anywhere in the Doctor Who world. But really a lot of the other stuff that's in the Doctor Who world doesn't really make any sense so fine. I mean there's so much stuff that humanity should've remembered by now (And not just in the new series) that if you actually try and put it together you have to make bizarre bits of fanon and retcons. So you just have to put it all together and not look too much into it.

But really, Torchwood is the worst at it. All the other spin offs work better then Torchwood.

Even this one.

I love how K-9 doesn't even move in the opening titles of his show. Did they not have wheels in the eighties?

 

[Fuddlemiff]

Anyone would think Sarah Jane was the robot based on that. And don't any other people exist in that universe? It looks like it's just her and the dog in a post apocalyptic landscape where everyone else has vanished.

I think they used his batteries for SJS's curling tongs.

Anyone else get an ashes to ashes vibe of that?

 

[Tisiphone]

^LMAO. I was just about to say that. It was like she was morphing into K-9, or vice versa. So glad I'm not the only one thinking that.

Dammit, I was responding to Fuddle's post. RAWR
