Rate Torchwood: Miracle Day Episode 3: "Dead of Night"

by **Patrick** Thu Jul 21, 2011 9:17 pm

Torchwood has been requisitioned to the other side of the pond. A black ops agent has discovered her head screwed on incorrectly. Time to get on with episode 3, in which, I'm advised, Jack will confront Oswald Danes.

So, what did you think of this episode? This thread will, of course, remain locked until after transmission of the story in North America, Friday night, July 22, 2011. So let's hear your thoughts and reactions to this episode!

Well, that was a bit graphic in places. I'm going to watch it again before I comment.

I thought that was a very good episode, I'm going to hold off on rating it for now cos I want to ponder that a bit. A lot of good questions were asked, the team was a lot more active this time. Felt like more of a team as well.

Overall, a pretty satisfying episode. After an over-night mulling of the story, I'm giving it a 4/5.

4/5 from me as well.

I think Jack's never felt more alive actually, all those years of immortality must've worn on him and he's enjoying risk again.

I went 3/5. I think I've worked out the problem with Miracle Day for me - RTD's come up with a pretty dark idea, similar to CoE, but the direction and production isn't really reflecting the nature of the story they're trying to tell. CoE was quite restrained in its filming style, quite dull colours etc, while this seems to be shot quite in quite a brash and colourful style. CoE was much more naturalistic, and I think that helped emphasise the horror more as it felt like an intrusion into the real world, while this feels more like something happening in TV land so you're not as connected to it.
