Torchwood Miracle Day Ep 1 - Thoughts - No spoilers.

[missthingsplace]

Now there was a time when i wasn't going towatch this, Children Of Earth really did a number on me and i had no interest in watching a programme that still called itself Torchwood with only two of the main characters in ... and believe me, i thought this for a very long time. But, although i am still angry about the killing off of three main characters in two series i decided that i should give it a chance.

I watched episode 1 of TW MD last night. First impressions? Well, to my mind it's been more than a little Americanized, those watching in the US who have never seen the programme before will see it as just another US series, it kinda reminded me a little of 24 in a way ... but at least they didn't put 3 or 4 scenes on the screen at once!

I have to say that despite this i did find myself enjoying it, i mean, how could it not please with Captain Jack being ... well Captain Jack in it?

But, and bearing in mind that i have only watched it once and i may change my mind with passing episodes, it didn't feel anything like the Torchwood we know and love.

My daughter was totally unimpressed, she said that she will give it one, maybe two more to impress her and if not, then she won't be watching any more.

I am hoping i will come to love it as much as i always have - despite CoE - and intend to watch in full.

PS I am so sorry for not posting any fic for a while but my bunnies appear to have done a bunk, the next chapter of Goodnight Sweetheart is half written, which i did a few days ago, so things are beginning to look up. I hope.

RTD seems to be all about the shock factor ... so i agree, i'm a little scared that he will do something unexpected and heartbreaking again ... if he does, that's it. I won't be watching again, no matter now many series of TW he makes. He certainly doesn't seem to give a toss about the programmes fans.
