Will they be able to sustain it for that long without a monster of the week? I have me doubts. Otherwise, I found the return of Torchwood strangely satisfying.BlackPeter said:Sorry just realised that all ten episodes are about the "miracle day " plot , so we're back at the American Lost/EtC.Etc. , endless nonsense!! sorry as brit who admired Torchwood I shan't be watching any more Yank idiocy
Can't be bothered with them. Modern undead zombies are the most boring of all modern monsters.

Well, I think it was well known that the series would be one long story, as per the last season, so thanks for answering my question as to how long, at least.BlackPeter said:Sorry just realised that all ten episodes are about the "miracle day " plot , so we're back at the American Lost/EtC.Etc. , endless nonsense!! sorry as brit who admired Torchwood I shan't be watching any more Yank idiocy

BlackPeter said:but I really do feel that Torchwood as a 10 parter on one subject is a profoundly different thing from the threat a week nature of its past (and anyway who is guarding the rift in Cardiff?!)
I'm betting you didn't know that the Antioch Bridge in California is a toll bridge.Moooksta said:The thing I couldn't get was that American Intelligence had no idea the Severn Bridge is a toll bridge. Pretty basic knowledge in the UK!
No, it was Mooksta.BlackPeter said:No actually Black Peter didn't!!! Check postings! But it's still a very interesting point toll bridges are actually fairly common in the USA compared with UK so this is a very odd scenario??
