CoE2 approaches....Boy, am I having flashbacks to the build up to CoE1.....Interesting that those who have seen the opening of CoE2 and reviewed  it are positive about it--it reminds me that Day One of CoE was quite good; Rusty has often managed to set up well--he just can't finish (I will deftly sidestep any Freudian interpretation, right there

A funny thing happened on the way to Miracle Day: I found out I left Torchwood behind a couple of years ago, and really don't care anymore about watching it

1927? Are these verrrrry slow working aliens? Possibly, therefore, connected somehow with road construction in New York State?

Do fatally injured people and terminally ill people heal? Or do they just wander around, being fatally injured and terminally ill? If so, how? Or is that the handwavey "miracle" part?

What is the alien motivation? This seems a pretty convoluted plan, no matter what their aim is....Kind of like the pluck snot chickens who could vacuum up people in the blink of an eye, yet sent architectural plans, waited for their tank to be built (should've hired NYS road construction workers: the chickens would've died of old age, waiting--how to fight an alien menace), spent days squabbling over details, did a good deal of number crunching, and gave a tour of their tank...........Because--why would you want to accomplish your dastardly mission quickly and efficiently?

The aliens could have stopped at Howard Johnson or Denny's for counter service. They'd be still waiting, too. :D

Rexie looks pretty good for someone with a gaping chest wound, and Pedoboy when last seen was sitting upright in a limo, so my guess is that there will be suffering unless it's convenient not to have suffering. In other words, welcome to Rustyworld.

And of course there will be the perquisite discourse on how corrupt and horrible humanity is as resources and food runs out, and the dead are resented for being not quite dead, while everyone reverts to their true nature of selfishness/inhumanity/brutishness with only the angelic Gwen and her haloed family as the oasis of reason. Really, I can't even say Jack anymore because this sounds depressingly like CoE in that the root of the problem takes place in 1927 and guess who was alive then?

Pah.

I saw something about SomethingCorp being involved, possibly being behind whatever's going on....So, apparently Rusty's taking the incredibly inventive, never-before-seen approach of having An EVOL Corporation involved. What a breathtaking new plot!

*gag*

And supposedly the Earth has only four months left? Is that the cut off date for the 'miracle,' too? Or does everyone stay alive? Because....well....if no one can die, what difference will four months make, as a deadline (no pun intended)--no one can die of starvation or thirst? Sure they can suffer--but I'm getting the drift that that is actually the point of this whole exercise: Rusty's attempt to find a way to depict unbelievable (I mean that literally) suffering and cruelty....Kind of like when he used to laugh about being able to find new ways to make Jack die in agony: he was quite proud of CoE, for that.
