torchwood

I’ve been watching The latest season, season 4, of Torchwood, called Torchwood: Miracle Day.  When it came to Starz, I was pretty excited about getting ten episodes of what I felt, could be impressive television.  But have my expectations seem to have been skewed too high?

The last season of Torchwood, Children of Earth, was the very best television I felt I had ever watched.  The story was succint in plot and touched on the past, present and implications to the future of the Torchwood organization.  All while still managing to threaten the very existence of Earth.

Along the way a few story lines hit strong emotional anchors.  Whether they were good or questionable, it didn’t matter.  The events pulled at the core of the TV viewers heart.

Hence, the strong anticipation I had for Torchwood: Miracle Day.  And though I’m being a loyal Torchwood fan, I’m not necessarily feeling it this time around.

Below are my Comic Con panel terse recaps for Torchwood, Eureka, Warehouse 13 & True Blood.

"Comic Con" News

Torchwood

In the Torchwood panel at Comic Con, the panel consisted of John Barrowman, Eve Myles, Mekhi Phifer, Bill Pullman, Alexa Havins and writer Jane Espenson.

The panel had a bunch of levity and was a nice experience of laughter. But to look at the specific points made in the panel about the show:

Espenson said things will be getting darker as the Torchwood: Miracle Day progresses.

Espenson wants the fans to really embrace the theme of this season and look at the bigger picture of the effects from Miracle Day.

No word on renewal yet.

Eureka

The Comic Con Eureka panel guests included cast members Colin Ferguson, Salli Richardson-Whitfield, Neil Grayston and Felicia Day. Also on-panle were executive producers Jamie Paglia and Bruce Miller. The panel was moderated by Wil Wheaton.

They chatted about Eureka‘s new space program, a love triangle and the animated Christmas special coming up.

Here, they chatted about things like how Day found it easy to fit into the cast.

Salli Richardson-Whitfield will be directing the episode titled “Omega Girls.”

And this year’s Christmas episode will be an animated ‘sode, with multiple styles of animation.

Other than that, it was just a fun experience…especially when the entire audience sang happy birthday to Colin Ferguson. (Yes, they said it was his birthday.)

Oh, on that love-triangle? There will be some tension between Dr. Holly Martin (Day), Dr. Parrish (Wheaton) and Fargo (Grayston).
