Torchwood: Miracle Day continues, as we find the governments of the world re-categorizing life. Gwen Cooper (Eve Myles) returns home to Wales to investigate the segregation of the ill and the injured into Overflow Camps, while the rest of Torchwood is joined by Doctor Vera Juarez (Arlene Tur) to investigate the American camps, under the guidance of Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman).
During TARDISblend 32, we review the events of The Categories Of Life, in which we drill down into many criticisms we have of the episode in addition to the series as a whole. We comment on Gwen’s return to and mission in Wales, and discuss the pivotal moments for the character of Vera Juarez during the episode.
Performances seemed a little off this time around, and even Bill Pullman wasn’t up to his usual best. We also look at some past Torchwood episodes, and make some new recommendations for some of the new fans out there.
All this and more on the latest TARDISblend!
Presented by Greg Davies (cGt2099 from The Social Blend Podcast) and Tom Cheredar (Tched from The Drill Down Podcast) TARDISblend is a mini podcast that takes a look at the ongoing adventures of Doctor Who – as Matt Smith makes his journey as the Eleventh Doctor!
I agree wholeheartedly with all of your sentiments about this show so far. I always allow for illogical things in my sci-fi or favorite shows. But come on, the flight time from LA to Wales is quite long, and oh yes, you’re wanted by several governments so you know travel would be an issue.
I will finish this series only because I have just 3 episodes left; just watched episode 6 The Middlemen. But I am done with it after this. It breaks my heart to say that too. I LOVED this series, but sorry RTD, you’ve done broke it!
btw, could they put any more make-up on Barrowman? He is not looking like his usual hot self!
