TORCHWOOD: MIRACLE DAY Season Finale Recap: ‘The Blood Line’

It’s over! Last night’s TORCHWOOD: MIRACLE DAY brought the mystery of the Miracle to a close … kind of. As Gwen, Jack, and the rest of Team Torchwood looked for an end to the global crisis, they were met with subterfuge from the Families, some answers (finally) about the Miracle and its origin, and, with […]

TORCHWOOD: MIRACLE DAY Finale Preview: Looking for Answers about Blessings, Families, and Miracles

Time flies! The season finale of TORCHWOOD: MIRACLE DAY is this Friday, and while I’ll withhold judgment until the last episode airs, there are a lot of loose ends left to be tied up. So in preparation for Friday, let’s take a look back at the first nine weeks of global immortality and see what’s […]

TORCHWOOD: MIRACLE DAY Recap: ‘The Gathering’

TORCHWOOD: MIRACLE DAY began its penultimate episode by flashing forward two months, a reveal that cheapened last week’s cliffhanger dreadfully. We ended last week with Esther driving a wounded Jack away from a crime scene, repeating, “I don’t know what to do” over and over. Well, I guess the writers didn’t know what to do, either, […]

TORCHWOOD: MIRACLE DAY Recap: ‘End of the Road’

TORCHWOOD gave us some answers last night, but it also brought some frustration and confusion. We’re hurtling toward the finale now — only two episodes left! — and as this episode drew to a close, we were no closer to reversing the Miracle or getting Gwen back to her cozy seaside life. So what did […]

TORCHWOOD: MIRACLE DAY Recap: ‘Immortal Sins’

We slowed down the pace for last night’s TORCHWOOD, telling two character-driven stories from two different periods of Jack’s life. In present-day, Gwen will stop at literally nothing to save Anwen (and Rhys and Mary) from their captors, even if that means sacrificing Jack. We spend most of their story in the car, as Gwen […]

TORCHWOOD: MIRACLE DAY Recap: ‘The Middle Man’

Friday’s tedious episode of TORCHWOOD: MIRACLE DAY hit several speed bumps on the road to answers. Mostly providing follow-up to last week’s incendiary hour, “The Middle Men” gave up a few clues about the mystery, while primarily demonstrating some outrageously bad spy skills and wayward logic. Let’s recap. We spent most of the episode stuck […]

TORCHWOOD: MIRACLE DAY Recap: ‘The Categories of Life’

For the first half hour of last night’s TORCHWOOD: MIRACLE DAY, I was frustrated. While I appreciate the show’s attention to detail, we never seem to get past the need for long expositional scenes. I get it—in a world where major domestic healthcare policies are being rewritten, there are a lot of logistics to be […]

TORCHWOOD: MIRACLE DAY: ‘Escape to LA’

Friday’s episode of TORCHWOOD: MIRACLE DAY had a lot of good spying … and a lot of bad spying. As the Torchwood team relocated from Washington to Los Angeles, they had to tie up loose ends and start fresh on the west coast. Unfortunately, the cross-country trip was mired in danger after Esther made some […]

TORCHWOOD: MIRACLE DAY Recap: ‘Dead of Night’

With the initial set-up complete, TORCHWOOD: MIRACLE DAY was ready to get down to business in last night’s episode. From late-night break-ins to some seriously premium cable-grade sex, it was a busy evening for the Torchwood team. Rex traced the CIA’s betrayal back to one guy: Friedkin (Wayne Knight). They corner him at home and […]

TORCHWOOD: MIRACLE DAY Comic-Con Trailer

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y440z8YrIcI[/youtube] TORCHWOOD brought a new trailer to Comic-Con, and there’s some fun new footage inside, including some that gives some crazy teases about the next eight episodes of the season. Here’s what I can piece together from this thrill ride of a trailer…

TORCHWOOD: MIRACLE DAY: ‘Rendition’ Recap

Now that was TORCHWOOD. After spending week one in full-on set-up mode, the team was ready to get down to business in last night’s episode, “Rendition.” The hour brought scientific intrigue, pond-crossing thrills, and more hints about the nature of the Miracle. It also introduced some fancy new terminology to the TORCHWOOD vocabulary — we can […]

TORCHWOOD: MIRACLE DAY Series Premiere Recap

Friday’s premiere of TORCHWOOD: MIRACLE DAY involved intense, American-style action sequences, a pond-hopping chase to reunite old friends, and loads of exposition. (By my count, the word “Torchwood” was spoken 33 times.) For this, our first recap for the series, let’s organize our thoughts by character as we reflect on last night’s events…

TORCHWOOD: MIRACLE DAY Series Premiere Preview

Give Me My Remote got a sneak peek at the series premiere of TORCHWOOD: MIRACLE DAY, and we have some thoughts (and scoop!) on the first season! My favorite part about TORCHWOOD has always been its fearlessness. Russell T. Davies and his exceptional team of writers don’t allow themselves to be tied down by rules […]

TORCHWOOD: MIRACLE DAY: 11 New Minutes of Fun, Sexy Footage

My relationship with Starz and its preview material for TORCHWOOD is beginning to get precarious. On the one hand, I will do anything to get my grubby little hands on more. On the other, we’re less than two weeks away from the premiere and these clips are now only serving to ratchet my anxious anticipation […]

New TORCHWOOD Details Hint at Corporate Conspiracy, Undercover Ops

Starz released synopses of the first seven episodes of TORCHWOOD’s upcoming season this morning, which, of course, serve only to tantalize us further without giving away any major secrets. They do give some hints about the pacing of the season, the nature of the Miracle, and the depth of the conspiracy. Summary of the summaries? […]
