Steineded How sad is this?
Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
mrpuff-54568 This series, no doubt started being watched by fans who were dazzled with the charm of Captain Jack from Dr. Who, but it has gone far beyond that. A sensitively written series by Russel Davies, who writes many of the episodes, and explores many sub-themes. Like the Dr. Who series, there are a mixture of sexes, races, backgrounds and nationalities in the characters, but this keeps it very modern. A few of the episodes, let's be honest, get a little campy from time to time, but so does Dr. Who, and it's kind of like hanging out with family. You love the silliness of it. The themes of the plots do go very dark. There were one or two that I was actually up with at night, and they definitely get you thinking...reminds me of some of the after effects of the old Twilight Zone stuff. I loved the characters, what happens to each as they develop, and let's face it, John Barrowman is god to me. I would watch or listen to anything he does, he's that good.
saebaby86 Truth be told, I haven't watched the Doctor Who series, so I'm not sure if that show is similar to Torchwood. I do know that Torchwood is a spin-off. That being said, I watched the first season and the fourth season. A few episodes into the second season, I stopped watching because it was boring. A few of the episodes made me wonder if I skipped an episode in between. I'm really not sure how else I can explain why I didn't enjoy the entire series.Redeeming factor: Miracle Day! I was hooked after the first episode. I already loved John Barrowman but adding Alexa Havins, Mekhi Phifer, and Bill Pullman to the cast was gold. The plot was better than the previous seasons (mind you, I skipped most of season two and all of season three). I'm glad I sucked it up and watched the final season.
mftman I was not impressed with this series and am not surprised it was only four seasons. The characters never seem to learn from their mistakes. Gwen Cooper especially seems oblivious to her own ignorant decisions. As a Dr. Who fan, I was very disappointed with this series. The plots are implausible. While the series tries to address the moral dilemma of choosing the many over the one - a la Star Trek - the writers did not spend the ink to really present the topic. Instead, the show actively attacks faith without any logical, analytical argumentation. Cpt. Jack's character is too borderline. He's cruel, then he's tender, and he presents the stereotype that gay men are indiscriminate in their sexual exploits - implying that it is not relationship but selfish pleasure for gay men. It is a poor attempt to espouse an ideology with no real logic behind it. The series had such potential, but it falls flat.
mtong95003 Please go back to Wales for the next season. Re-establish the Hub and get on with it. So much better in the UK> Especially Wales. Please think about it. The attraction to the series is the difference from the U.S and Briton. Wales is where my family came from and I love seeing the scenes from there. We see America all the time. A BBC production is much more interesting when filmed abroad. We see America all the time. The hub was magical and now they are just running from place to place. I miss the old characters but if you can't bring them back at least take us home to Cardiff. This is a great show, I watched 4 seasons in a row. It was wonderful, until we arrived in the U.S. Most BBC shows are filmed in England now you finally have a show filmed in my grandparents homeland and you come to the U.S. please film the next season in the U.k. Pleas.
