Torchwood: Miracle Day -- The Last Episode - repost

SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT

During watching reactions:

• Jack and his non-answers. But applause on the comment to Oswald
• Yay Andy! ^_^
• Yes, Andy, let's retread this...again.
• No one ever knows. Lol
• Geez, what is it with me crying over things today?
• And of course he doesn't die. And Rex!
• Except not Rex ... or not...
• Jilly didn't run fast enough.
• Poor Ester.
• Wait... Jilly survived?
• Charlotte doesn't get away!
• Rex has become a fixed point... like Jack. This... is not surprising.

And what I mean by that last comment is: If the blood was what made the Miracle Happen, then of course the properties would be transferable if you transferred the blood. Which they did. And that's what I originally thought... so that little "surprise" at the end wasn't really a surprise.

Love ya, Jessie.

Night Terrors of Torchwood: Miracle Day - repost

SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT

Torchwood: Miracle Day

     So basically, The Blessing is a big chasm in the middle of the planet that had random bit falling into it... sideways? That's just... huh. Wasn't expecting that.

     Back to the beginning, then. I very much enjoyed Gwen pilfering meds for a good cause. Love that Rhys figured things out before everyone else. Loved Gwen's reaction to Oswald Danes showing up in her house. Thought it was Jack to begin with, so that was a bit surprising. I am still confused as to how exactly Jack and Ester got to Scotland, but I'm not too worried about it. Retconning the watcher guy from Phicorp or the government was awesome. Again, not expecting Jack to show up at that point. Also, the revelation that family-girl from the CIA is a lesbian, cool, but at the same time, I want rid of her.

     Summary Time! Aren't you excited? I very much enjoyed this episode and I'm glad we finally got to see what The Big Bad is, even if we don't have a clue as to what it is exactly.

Doctor Who: Night Terrors

     I'm not sure exactly how I feel about this episode. I think Amy and Rory should have twigged earlier that they were in a dollhouse. I knew right off when Amy picked up the pan and figured out it was wood. Where do you find wooden cooking ware? A dollhouse. Duh. The kid being an alien, saw that coming a mile away. When the landlord guy turned into a doll, I thought for a second it was Rory's hand and he was having Auton flashbacks. Would have been kinda funny. And hey, it was finally Amy's turn to sort of die. Glad it wasn't Rory... again. Oh! I loved his reaction to them ending up in the dollhouse. "We're dead, aren't we? Again."

So that's me done for today. Love ya, Jessie

Let's Kill Hitler on Miracle Day - repost

Torchwood: Miracle Day
     Theory of the week: I think Jack is going to die, for good. No Face of Boe for Jack.
     Other comments: The CIA is made up of people who don't like to listen to people who might actually know what they're talking about. Also, I want to shoot Ester again.

Doctor Who: Let's Kill Hitler
     I'm bouncing off the walls because goodness this was an awesome episode! The only thing, though, was that I knew The Doctor was not going to die. I was pleasantly surprised by the cameos from the voice interface: Rose, Martha, and Donna. Poor Doctor. Mels was a great early River personality. I liked her almost instantly and I'm kind of sad that that's all we're going to get from the Mels personality. The exchanges between River and The Doctor were amusing, although I think someone stuck superspeed onto The Doctor... and the lipstick thing is getting to be a complete giveaway. I knew as soon as The Doctor started going all wonky that River had poisoned him with lipstick.
     Jumping back to the beginning of the episode: Crop Circles are amusing. And The Doctor's comment about it sent me into giggles.
     All in all, I'm a very happy Whovian at the moment. ^_^

Love ya, Jessie

28 Weeks Later: Miracle Day - repost

The TV Section!

The sixth installment of Torchwood: Miracle Day was... WOW. First, you've got Ester finally stepping up and doing something other than computer stuff. Second, Gwen blowing the Cardiff Module place sky high -- while telegraphed -- was AWESOME. Third, I spent a good portion of the episode yelling at Rex for being an idiot and baiting the insane person. Fourth, I did not see what happened at the end of the episode coming, but, in hindsight, I should have. Altogether, the episode was great.

The Movie Section!

I watched 28 Weeks Later, again, with my family. My lasting impression is that the military, or any country, like to freak out and go overboard. I mean, seriously? Let's open fire on everyone because we can't tell who's Infected and who's not. Also, can the Infected drive cars? NO! Let's just kill this person because he's in our way and we have orders. Yes, that's a wonderful plan...

The Book Section!

I have finished Season of the Witch by Natasha Mostert. Gotta say, I stayed up entirely too late reading the end of that book. Also, Gabriel, the main character, is somewhat thick. I never, for one second, thought that M--------- was the villian. I'm sorry, but who the villian was, was so obvious. The way things went, though, that was interesting. The book was awesome. It was intelligent, engaging, and was amusing in some places. I loved it.

And that is the end. Love ya, Jessie.
