NWR TorchWood Miracle Day Episode 7: Immoral Sins

Posted By on August 22, 2011

OK Now THAT’S the Torchwood I know and love.

This felt like Torchwood and, even though we don’t know how yet, it did advance the plot.

Yes, there were some basic problems with the story but again that’s Torchwood.

Spoilers behind the cut because I can’t really talk much more about it without talking about something that might be considered a spoiler.

I am grateful when a plan comes together.

Notice that when Oswald and Jilly are gone, the show is more interesting. Two good actors who have been given some rather carp roles that haven’t gone anywhere really.

This was Jack and Gwen having it out and I loved it.

We now have some of the reasons behind the beginnings of the Miracle.

We have a new character and calling the group behind it as the Family makes a little sense now.

I am hoping that we don’t get a whole howl about the non-PC of the episode because it played it true for the time and the beliefs.

I did like Angelo and Jack trying to make him a companion. It was nice to see it tied back to its origins in Doctor Who.

And Kudos to Eve Myles for the speech in the car about Gwen’s true feelings about Torchwood to Jack. That was just so beautifully done.

Also Poor Jack when he is down in the meat locker with the crowd. He can feel all the pain that they inflict but keeps coming back. Then the arguments between if he is a miracle or a curse. If he is an angel or a demon. Also notice that the older women were gathering his blood. The horror of it was in the mob mentality when confronted by something they don’t understand.

    I don’t think it was more interesting because Oswald and Jilly weren’t around; I thought it was more interesting because Esther and (especially) Rex were basically sidelined. Oswald’s riveting for me.

    But I agree with the rest of it — this FELT like Torchwood in a way that most of the season hasn’t.

    I have to agree with Tim. This episode benefited because it focused on the core (some might say REAL) members of Torchwood. And what great chemistry jack and Gwen have. This finally felt like a true Torchwood episode.
