Torchwood: Miracle Day

Right. Obviously Miracle Day is thoroughgoing bobbins (and rather bland and dull bobbins too), but ( Spoilers )

To my complete surprise, I am going to watch episode 3.

"This is the worst season of Torchwood, except for all the others."

I'm afraid no money in the world could make me watch any show completely centered around Gwennie-Sue. Having her taking screen time away from much more interesting characters in TW the Original was bad enough.

But again, it's a matter of taste, I guess. After all, I can't stand Sharon Gless, either.

Ha! No, neither of these shows are for you!

I've learned to intensely dislike Sharon Gless while watching "Cagney and Lacey", back in the Stone Age. I loved that show and every single character it - except hers. But it took me unti Queer As Folk US to really, really hate her. Assuming we're talking about the same actress - I tend to mix up the names sometimes.

I started off liking Gwen in the Torchwood pilot, actually. But it didn't last. I just can't stand Mary Sues.

I didn't like her all that much in Cagney and Lacey either, but she's marvellous in Burn Notice (she plays the lead character's evil genius mother). I didn't see QaF US. She's the one in Cagney and Lacey with blonde hair and the awkward relationship with her father. Tyne Daly is the one with dark hair that's married. (Tyne Daly appeared in a recent episode of Burn Notice, which was fun.)

Incidentally, she did have a baby in November 2009, which explains why she looked so convincing as a recent mother...

It has suddenly occurred to me that I do have an icon more topical than Owen.

altariel July 22 2011, 17:34:35 UTC

Aha, that would make sense...

Is the woman in the icon the PR character?

kalypso_v July 22 2011, 18:11:59 UTC

Yes, Lauren Ambrose. Or Ms Morden, it has been suggested.

Well, it's not Torchwood, but it is McGuiver.

altariel July 22 2011, 17:32:11 UTC

Never seen that one...

muuranker July 22 2011, 19:14:46 UTC

I probably misspelled it! Let me check ... ah, yes, MacGyver.

altariel July 22 2011, 20:51:01 UTC

Haven't seen that either! ;-)

And apparently the devil is stalking the earth, proffering temptation in the form of a red-headed woman.

They'll never take me alive.
