August 5th, 2011 - 1:08amJust watched episode 4. What has happened to Torchwood? The ‘plot’ is so loosely held together, it drags on with very little actually happening or being revealed and pointless dialogue. As for episode 3, my husband missed it and after watching episode 4 he said he hadn’t noticed he had really missed anything. So many episodes to go but little happening. Give us quality not quantity!! If Torchwood was popular in the US then they obviously liked it made the British way,
i.e. plot!!
what the hell happened Russell??

August 6th, 2011 - 10:32pmMy thoughts Exactly…….Where’s The Plot !
This Series should have been a Two Part Special.

August 10th, 2011 - 11:39pmagree completely! I was never the biggest torchwood fan but Children of the Earth was amazing! Apart from 24, why do all american dramas have to be so sloooow.

August 3rd, 2011 - 8:31pmJust because you can doesn’t mean everyone can they have just as much of right to express their opinions without being told “deal with it” Not everyone is the same.
doctor who?
August 1st, 2011 - 8:50ami love the series so far-the first episode was very american with the car chase along the beach, but it has become slightly more ‘down to Wales’ as it has gone along. i also disagree with people who say the sex scenes have nothing to do with the story-rex and doctor vera’s relationship was used to get gwen into the phi-corp building, and Jacks was, if nothing else, used to see how americans would cope with it, given as how that are very homophobic.

July 31st, 2011 - 12:07amAgree with C@A, it is for teenagers and adults who “should” be able to deal with this content, however, obvisiusly some can’t. I think they might need to get out a bit more and look at the world around them.

July 30th, 2011 - 10:31pmLook Mr. RTD, we ‘get it’. Jack is omni-sexual and likes men. You don’t have to push it into our faces – literally. Less is more you know.

July 30th, 2011 - 12:42pmIt’s Not Homophobic If You Don’t Like A Naked Man On Television, It Would Be If You Said Something Like, ‘Gays Disgust Me, And They Should Never Kiss In Public’ The Thing Is That It Just Came To A Shock For Torchwood To Be That Graphic.
C@A
July 31st, 2011 - 12:38pmYes, you’re right. I don’t like naked women on television, but, hey, when they appear I still look. 😛 Nudity can serve a plot point sometimes.

July 30th, 2011 - 1:26amThank god “RTD” has left Doctor Who, if this is the Best he can come up with for Torchwood, i think “Doctor Who” would have been axed again

July 30th, 2011 - 11:35pmIf it wasn’t for Russell Doctor Who would still have a reputation for wonky sets and Daleks that can’t get up stairs. In fact if it wasn’t for him Doctor Who would have stayed dead and buried in 1996 after the TV movie. Also, take a look at the viewing figures for the 2005-2009 era, and average of 9 million with all the last two or three specials getting 10 million! That speaks volumes. Sorry mate, your in the minority!

August 6th, 2011 - 10:27pmYou missed the point Haza14, i’m referring to this Series of “Torchwood” Not “Doctor Who” 2005-2009 era.
BTW…Whats wrong with Wonky Sets and DALEKS that can’t climb stairs.
Those Episodes were Classics…lol

July 29th, 2011 - 4:57pmit was discusting, because jack was kissing a full naked man it made me feel really sick

July 29th, 2011 - 9:01pmI wouldn’t have minded too much if it was somehow relevant to the story but it seemed to have been thrown in to pad out the episode.
C@A
July 29th, 2011 - 9:40pmSee, with the homophobia…
beep
July 29th, 2011 - 10:16pmI am a bit shocked at all this homophobia, its the twenty first century people, were people can be proud of who they are and not criticised for it…or so I thought
Nigel M
July 29th, 2011 - 11:14pmI’m not homophobic but I’m watching it for the sci-fi. As I said above, the scene in question was completely gratuitous and irrelevant to the storyline. Children of Earth had some graphic scenes involving children but they were relevant to the story.
Dark Side of the Moon
July 29th, 2011 - 11:19pmWell said Nigel M. It was a completely pointless scene. Infact this series is seriously lacking sci-fi…its more like a cop show. Im not impressed.
C@A
July 30th, 2011 - 9:47amBeep, it’s what you get when you have a site allowing <13 to post, who's knowledge on sexuality is usually rather low (unless they aren't hetero themselves, but even then) and can't make a response very constructive to make me as a 14 year old homo a little angry at what they're saying.
booboo
July 30th, 2011 - 8:45pmThey are only commenting because they have been allowed to watch it, this site doesn’t discriminate age never has never will.
I do however sympathise – Captain Jack is a Doctor Who Character, he starter out there – Captain Jack is in Torchwood – there going to want to watch him – difficult situation
Haza14
July 30th, 2011 - 11:25pmThat’s Jack mate! He ain’t gona change, he’s always been going for a bit of both, aliens included, obviously! Also I did think, it was relevant to the story line as it was showing that he is trying to make the most of life as he is no longer immortal. He wants to have some fun!
Zackhgs
August 2nd, 2011 - 11:04pmSeriously though what’s with homophobia why can’t people learn that discrimination only leads to bad things

July 29th, 2011 - 3:00pmI know it was revolting especially if any young WHO fans saw it
Kane
July 29th, 2011 - 12:43pmSo far I think Miracle Day has been perfect. All these people that keep complaining about the ‘Jack’ scene in ep 3 should get a grip it clearly states in the programme guides and when you press info “contains some sexual content’ i mean if i saw that i would not let my child or ‘kid’ watch it. I think its been brilliant it just shows what american money can do.. and the aliens could just be round the corner.
Dark Side of the Moon
July 29th, 2011 - 8:42pmI didnt have a problem that it was ‘too adult’, my prolem was thw whole sequence (nightclub and bedroom) was pointless and added nothing at all to the story. If you are going to go to the trouble of filming a sex scene then at least make it relevant to the plot. We all know Jack is having to deal with being mortal…I dont need to see his bum to understand that:) It was scene to “flesh” out an episode that had very little going for it. Lets hope Ep 4 gets things going.
Miracle Day…BORING!

July 29th, 2011 - 11:51amThey said that jacks gay scene was gonna be cut. but it wasn’t! Revolting!!!

July 29th, 2011 - 11:46ami agree with everything you have said doctor daddy cool 67
C@A
July 29th, 2011 - 10:14amDisgusting? It wasn’t pornographic at all, other than a few bottoms and a few moans. That’s not much to call disgusting. I found the two middle aged guys kissing in the bar more disgusting, but I didn’t think much of it. What about Rex and his girl? Did you think of their ‘scene’ as disgusting? While I agree they didn’t serve much plot purpose altogether, this isn’t a kid’s show. It’s for teenagers and adults, who can cope with this content.
doctor daddy cool 67
July 29th, 2011 - 9:23amYes, I agree with you there. Part 3 seemed to drag along and there was no need for the disgusting gay scene. I can tolerate the innuendo but there are probably some children watching this and there is no need to have scenes like that in a sci-fi show.
The first 2 episodes were promising but it now looks as though the plot will thin out over the next few weeks. I actually watched all of the children of earth dvd yesterday and you can see the difference in quality of writing. Sorry RTD, but the american influence has , in my opinion , ruined Torchwood.
Joe
July 28th, 2011 - 10:44pmI used to like Torchwood.
now? i don’t.
They have ruined a show i once loved. the show which was filled with mysterious and wonderful aliens, has now turned into a sort of “police detection/secret agent” show. it’s terrible.
and i know Torchwood is aimed at an older audience, but bear in mind some kids do watch it. and i thought the scene with Captain jack and that other dude was gross.
i won’t be watching next week.
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
July 29th, 2011 - 11:48ami won’t be watching torchood again. it’s unsuitable for kids my age. childeren of earth was tonnes better
the impossible astronaut and the silence
July 29th, 2011 - 11:53amI Watch it but i think ep 3 was best. 9/10. Children o9f earth 10/10. It is a bit unsuitible with gay stuff in
C Anderson
August 16th, 2011 - 2:16pmWhat used to be a good fast paced action series is now a plodding dead in the water series.
Can the US audience not cope with a 4 parter (which is what this series would in reality be).
Watched 1 & 2 – taped 3 & 4 but do not know if I will even bother, except to fast forward to see John’s bum!!!!
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
July 28th, 2011 - 10:04pmit’s torchwood aimed for kids or adults?? captain jacks gay scene was vey graphc i thought, it was unneccesary and i changed the channel. i don’t see that as good entertainment, thats what tv is really. and rex and vera??? random no point. i am vey dissapointed with miracle day, childeren of earth was much better, does anyone ele agree?? if so, please reply.
booboo
July 28th, 2011 - 10:07pmIts clearly aimed at adults with parental discretion
Nigel M
July 28th, 2011 - 11:22pmI agree, the two “graphic” scenes were totally gratuitous and came out of nowhere. They seem to be trying to pad this out to last ten weeks as opposed to the five sharp and concise Children of Earth episodes.
Jonathan
July 29th, 2011 - 3:02pmI hoope we don’t have anymore in innuendo in the next 7 episodes
phicorp
July 27th, 2011 - 4:51pmam i the only one that thinks this is the best series of torchwood ever, the new team i think was better than the last one ( apart from ianto)
and that torchwood and america works perfectly together! i was a little unsure about bill pullmans “villian” character until this episode when we have finally seen a glimpse of his ruthless side i cant see why the bbc has cut the gay scene its really not too graphic like the bbc have been saying! the only thing im hoping that will happen later in the series is that dr vera joins the team
tardistik
July 28th, 2011 - 10:28pmi think series 1 and 2 might have worked better if they used an ongoing story as children of earth and miracle day have done but then sometimes i wish children of earth and miracle day would seperate the episodes like in series 1 and 2 – its a confusing one
the impossible astronaut and the silence
July 29th, 2011 - 11:54amI Think this is the best series ever. 10/10!

July 29th, 2011 - 4:15pmthis is the best series so far it so cool i love series 1 and 2 but i dont like series 3 it was a bit said for me but this series 10/10

P.S: The souless r cool!
Dark Side of the Moon
July 24th, 2011 - 10:27amIt seems RDL has allowed Torchwood to be put through an “American TV” blender and has lost the core values of the show. I was never a big fan of TW…Series 1 and 2 were dull, series was very good – but what it had going for it was the Sci-Fi content. Series 4 is nothing more than a CIA/Police drama…and a bad one of that. Besides the “miracle” we are a third ofthe way through the series and there is not so much of a sniff of true sci-fi.
Truely Awful!!!
Dark Side of the Moon
July 24th, 2011 - 10:29amEDIT: Typo above – meant to say “Series 3 was very good…”

Doctor Voo
July 24th, 2011 - 2:07amBetter than the previous 2 episodes…still not great though…and far too many naked bottoms for my taste in Sci fi 🙂
By far the only three dimentional character (and only decent actor) who seems to get the only interesting dialogue is Dr Vera Juarez. The two American CIA characters are non entities, John Barrowman is a joke and Eve Myles over kills the Welsh thing “Oooooh”

July 23rd, 2011 - 12:42pmLoved it the series is just getting better and better, I can’t believe the BBC are actually cutting Jacks'(ahem)romantic scene, having just watched the downloaded Starz version I honestly do not think there is anything too over the top. But obviously parental descretion must apply.
