Torchwood season 4 (Miracle day) Review

Hey the Season finale of Torchwoods 4th season came and went last week so here is my review of what started slow and lagged and ended ok enough. I will start by saying they turned the Captain Jack gay knob all the WAY up with 2 sex scenes one gratuitous(dude he picks up in a bar) the other very plot specific(guy who ends up having him mutilated). The story was something happens where people are unable to die which means that the system becomes taxed due to no one dying but people still being born. I do not want to get into the meat of this as its pretty dense and goes to some weird places. Long story short torchwood figures out through dragging shit out that Jacks immortal blood poured into holes in the earth which set the lifespan at forever. This was played out over 10 pretty dragged out episodes which ended pretty ok. My main issue with the end which is my issue with Dr Who is that the main plot devices(regeneration and jacks immortality) are being treated very blase and that is bothering me. Some devices should be protected and left alone as they are the linchpin of the whole series. I mean what does treating his immorality as something that can be passed around like a cheap flask of booze? The new people that were added to the team sucked especially the one dude who survived and is now immortal(see last sentence) he was insufferable. The benefits to the season was the fact that despite being on stars in the USA they saved some of the dour welsh aesthetic that Torchwood is known for. I also liked despite feeling like the story dragged in the middle the wrapped things up pretty swiftly and not many lose ends to feel cheated with. I hear they are going to do a season 5 which I am kind of hopeful figuring that they have a year of working with Starz and in the Usa giving them a good oppertunity to build on this years success.

Review of captain america

rating-OK
Hey folks I have been MIA as this summer was very busy with changes a plenty but I promise Fall 2011 and going forward I will be on a 2 a week post regime of all your favorite movie and TV review and opinions and Memes. Anyway here is the long awaited review of Captain America the first avenger. The short answer it was OK but in the good way like how Thor was OK in the bland way. It had everything you would expect from a marvel movie the little inside bits for fans the huge feel and bright color that appeals to the casual fan. The heart was there as well as when a character dies you feel the loss and when the romantic lead(played by one of my favorites Haley Atwell) knows he is pretty much going to die the scene tugs at the heartstrings. As far as action it was in there but he was overpowered in terms of the opposition. meaning he was flicking people at one point all done effortlessly which was hollow. This is added that the main villain played by Hugo weaving who was his only real match they're final(and really only) show down was very short and didn't feel like it was back and forth. I would of had them fight once before with the Red skull besting him giving the last fight a he figured it out feeling that would explain how he beat him so fast.


the Period feel was good and the villains as frail as they were looked good in a Cobra viper way. I also enjoyed the musical number way more then I should as it reminded me of old bugs bunny war effort propaganda cartoons that I loved. The acting was fine and the fear that the overall movie was a long expensive set up for the Avenger movie which is really wasn,t. As far as the avenger trailer. it was pretty bad ass and everything you could expect. Its showed the main villain presumably(Emo Loki from bland Thor) and showed all the principles(hulk was missing for some reason)and showed some action but no real info was given. I am looking forward to that film as it when I heard about it WAY back in 08 after Iron Man It seemed along way away. In conclusion I loved the movies choices and think it was a enjoyable 2 hours while it could of done some stuff better I cannot really complain
