You know, I’m a thinking, it’s sort of a shame Grub’s thinking that giving up the ghost on Torchwood: Miracle Day.
Really.
OK, granted, Miracle Day has been a lot slower than it’s predecessor, Children of Earth.
But I think that in tonight’s penultimate episode, The Gathering is Torchwood that is — if not at it’s best — then certainly on form.
The Gathering is some 2 months after the events of last weeks eighth episode.
And open’s with a big Welsh bang: the sort of big bang created by Gwen, as she ram-raids a Cardiff chemists, to steal as many pharmaceuticals as possible.
Her and husband, Rhys, have been robbing chemist to help both their neighbours, and Gwen’s Category 1 father, deal with any aches and pains they have.
In the mean time … ?
Well, in the meantime, Esther has managed to smuggle Jack into the UK, whilst banking his blood, a bit at a time.
And Rex, now with the CIA, has finally found a lead to the Three Families: ironically through a short story depicting the multiple killings of Jack that had been arranged by Angelo.
Rex has ALSO worked out something else, as well: that his particular CIA branch office has a problem with moles.
With all of this going on … ?
The fact that Oswald Danes has something he want’s to tell the crew, and that Jilly Kitzinger is now — seemingly — being taken to see the Blessing … ?
Well …
››·‹‹
Well …
What CAN one say … ?
Actually, probably lots of things, actually … !
For one thing … ?
Well, for ONE thing, the series has been coming along nicely: granted, Miracle Day is and has been slow, so far.
But I mentioned, earlier, that I felt The Gathering to be the most on form of the series, to date … ?
Along with episode 1, which had a lot of work to do, for it’s US audience.
But The Gathering … ?
Yes …
I’m thinking The Gathering is setting up Miracle Day for a nice big finish … !

I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.
Thank you.
