"Torchwood" - season 4

[Rico]

Pretty wild episode this week.  Quite a bit happened and a few really big things.  I think this was episode 5 of the ten they are doing.  Things are definitely getting more dangerous for the team.

I'm loving this series, but then again, there hasn't been a time when I haven't loved it. I loved it since a day after the first ep aired in the UK and it's been great since!

I haven't seen this yet as I don't have Starz.. but I'm hearing such horrible things from people who have loved Torchwood and I trust their tastes..  But it seems like folks here are enjoying it.

What horrible things have you been hearing? Also, there does seem to be some fans that are looking to not like the show since it moved from it's UK roots. I might have been concerned myself if the show wasn't being handled by the same creative team that it used in the past.

Take Meds for instance. I don't think he's ever been a big Torchwood fan. His relationship with the show might have changed with Children of Earth, but I think he's even liking Miracle Day.

Really? Do we have to?? :)

I honestly think it's being dragged out too much. Come on. We're nearly 5 hours into the story now and I'm betting it could all have been edited down to less than 2.

Finding it neither great nor dreadful. Very mediocre

I would agree it's a little dragged out so far, but it's hard to know for sure until we see it all.  They seem to be putting certain things in play and setting stuff up.  Time will tell if that all pans out.  I also notice they seem to be sort of assembling a new Torchwood team during all this.  So they are spending time telling us about these new characters.  I'm enjoying it.

I don't feel as though I'm any the wiser about the new characters though. I think thats one thing that is pushing me towards "meh" with it. I'll be sticking with it though.

Really?  What about Rex and his dad and Esther and her sister?

I'm enjoying this season for the most part.  It does seem like it could have been done in a 5 hour arc like Children of Earth.  Early days yet, the 2nd half of the arc might make the slow build worth it.  With the most recent episode as I post this, I think think are about to really ramp up.

I don't feel it really went into any depth. We've seen Rex's Dad the once for about 5 minutes with no real lead up to it or follow up after (but there's still time)
And all I kept thinking was "Thats Winston from Ghostbusters?"

Esther and her sister was slightly more insightful. But again, unless she's specifically mentioning them (which isn't often) I don't feel as though they are in the characters thoughts.

But, there's still a chance. The problem maybe that I watched Children Of earth immediately prior to watching this. Perhaps it's the difference in pace jumping straight from one to the other that is jarring me...

OK this series is like a mattress, there is so much padding its ridiculous. This should be a 6 or 7 episode not 10. There is some great parts and a ending which if you look back on one of my posts i mentioned should happen.

I still cannot fathom out the whole Oswald thing. He's a convicted child molester and killer and no way on this Earth would you get people cheering for him. Its not believable regardless of it all being miracle day. Yes he does a good speech ( I have lost heaven forever) but really? would people so quickly forget what he did.

I think its a good series, too long as i already said, I was not a fan of the first couple of series but Children of Earth really was good acting and story telling, plus i still have the memory of John Fobisher (Peter Capaldi) killing his children. Now that was great story telling.

Yes this show is getting better and better.

I think I'm about to punch out on this one.  Too dark for my liking.

I am LOVING this show!
