Don’t get me wrong Scott, I don’t mean to sound Anti-American in any way and I just realised that’s how I could have sounded, much to my discomfort.
It was more the decision to have the Starz Network involved in making Miracle Day, setting it in America and adding Americans to the Torchwood team. As you’ve recently seen, before Miracle Day, Torchwood had been set in Wales and England and it had a very distinct feel to it.
Miracle Day changed the setting and the team dynamic a lot and I think setting it in a different country took something away from it. It was almost like Torchwood wasn’t ready for such a dramatic shift. In addition to that, one story played out over ten episodes, which was far too long winded too.
Referring to the “hated American bloke” was an unfortunate choice of words and was based entirely on the fact I couldn’t remember his name rather than the fact he was American. I’ve looked it up now, Rex Matheson. I think that irked a lot of people that didn’t like the new members of Torchwood, especially Rex, when he was seemingly made immortal.
So yeah, I need to consider my comments more before I submit.

]]>Oh, and sealing its Torchwood’s future by saying that the people behind Miracle Day and PhiCorp had a “Plan B”, meaning we’d be forced to go through Miracle Day 2 to see more Torchwood.
No, I think Capt. Jack’s a great character, but Miracle Day is a mill stone around his neck now. Unless they go back to the end of The End of Time Part 2 and erase Miracle Day from canon, it’s difficult to see Capt. Jack in the same way.
