this is nothing like the other 3 seasons. and, it'll take awhile to get used to not seeing Ijanto anymore. i think thats how you spell his name.

Ianto.

And I felt like the tone was the same. A balance between original Torchwood and 24. I enjoyed it a lot.

In my opinion, it still has the distinctive Torchwood vibe and feel, with a mix of 24. It's balanced. It's not fully Americanized, but it's not totally British either. It was a good mixture of both.

I enjoyed myself very much with the season opener. It has a bit of a different feel but not a bad one. It will be hard to surpass season 3 but I'm hoping it will be.

Anybody remember when I said I thought Torchwood should have its own thread?

I knew someone would start another one after that old thread was closed...

Yeah I kept saying after Torchwood airs I'm going to come on and see a Torchwood thread and sure enough there it was. most of the Torchwood conversation is still going on in the Who thread though compared to this one. Just like before though as I think this is the 3rd attempt at a Torchwood thread and they either die early or the conversation never leaves the DW thread and they end up getting merged.

Not saying this thread is pointless or anything and don't want to sound like a jerk just saying most of the Torchwood talk is in the DW thread and I suspect that's where most of it will be for those that want to talk/discuss it.

I am trying to do my part and keep the meat and potatoes to the Doctor Who thread... in terms of discussing plot points on last night's airing.

Maybe this one will get merged back into the fold at some point.

Miracle Day is my first Torchwood experience. I have absolutely no knowledge prior, so I was a bit confused and I guess I still am. Without having the background on the characters I'm left to make quick judgments, I don't particularly care too much right now for the whinny father or his wife aka the woman in need of some serious adult braces and extensive dental work. Jack seems alright, but he didn't do to much and I'd assume from the photos the hot blond agent found and his comments that he is either immortal or an alien? Can anybody clear that up for me? I also found Mehki as he has been known to do, over acting quite a few times particularly his plane rides where he tries to sell that he's in pain. It was just too cartoonish for me. I like the idea of Pullman playing such a very different character, but him being released due to "an act of god" highly annoyed me. I'm sure as the season progresses I'll grow to like some of the characters more but without any prior knowledge I was mostly just lost.

Considering the amount of multiple threads we have on the same subject in this forum I honestly don't see the harm. Folks can't contribute to whatever thread they want. I'm wondering when this will hit Netflix? I have the show in my instant que and plan to rewatch the series to refresh my memory a bit on things. Until then, I'll most likely stay away from the threads. Don't want some random person ruining it for me because they forgot to use spoiler tags.
