I was hoping that Torchwood wouldn't lose its momentum.
Why was series 3 so short anyway?. Was it because they had a smaller main cast?.
They always call it specials, when the series is short. It was okay when RTD did specials for the Tenth Doctor.
I know John Barrowman said in an interview that when a person dies, its not an instant thing to automatically have someone take there place. That was why the doctor that double crossed them was just a red herring. But an outsider has to interact with the main cast to get the story going as well. I wish the RTD knew how to make a proper heroine out of Gwen. She didn't even have survivors guilt as far as I could tell.
On well. I didn't really care for the story-arc anyway so the upside was that it didn't drag longer. I would have preferred a proper series or no series at all. The Children of Earth should just have been made into a TV movie so it could have been shorter if RTD wasn't able to do it better.
I shouldn't have bother watching "Miracle Day". I guess that since Torchwood was more popular in American, that RTD decided to shift it over there. Gwen made have been less annoying. But did the new guy Rex have to be really irritating to make it so. I did like that moment when she states that she is Welsh not British. I really hate when people are ignorant of a persons nationality, especially when they are trying to put the other person down. In some shape or form. Particularly if they are being racist.
However I didn't like having a pedophile as part of the story. I can never see Bill Pullman the same way again. Even if it was only alluded to. RTD may be able to hit the mark. But most of the time he missed it. The explicit sex and violence outweighed the story line which was pointless. I can only assume RTD was trying to be controversial.
I take watching Angel, which was the inspiration for Torchwood despite being a spin off of Doctor Who, over ever seeing Torchwood again.
Sometimes when books are made into TV shows or movies, they lose some of the essence that makes it good. Doesn't stop Hollywood from making films about comic book characters though.
I did a rewatch a few years ago on Buffy and still found it interesting to watch. Charmed was written by a producer who usually did soap drama so the writing style was different and the witches didn't use spells written in Latin.
Phoebes relationship with Cole reminded me a bit of the ups and downs of Buffy's relationship with Angel. Piper sometimes annoyed me when she panicked.
I think Charmed got its ideas from Greek mythology and religious elements.
