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 … !
