Story: Torchwoood: Miracle Day - The Middle Men
Written By: John Shiban
Length: 60 Minutes
Year: 2011
The stride continues, while I still don't feel like Miracle Day has (or quite frankly will) topped Children of Earth, I think it has been a solid story so far, and the episodes are finally starting to just keep on track and move swiftly. This episode introduces Ernie Hudson (Winston Zeddemore himself!) as Stuart Owens, a COO of PhiCorp, who himself is investigating his own company's involvement in the Miracle. The interesting thing he explains to Jack is that PhiCorp is really just one of the pieces of the puzzle...and that the Miracle must be controlled by someone else, and that they aren't just controlling PhiCorp for the Miracle..they've been controlling politics and economics for years leading up to this Miracle Day.
The episode also closes up some of the loose ends (like Vera's death, letting the people know what is happening in the Camps, Rex and Esther getting out of the camp, and Gwen getting herself and her Father out of the Welsh camp), and Rex and Gwen both release material exposing what has really been happening with the Overflow Camps.
Luckily the pacing is fast and things are happening, so I am feeling as if the milling around pace of episodes 2 and 3 is gone for good (or now). This episode had plenty to offer, and ended with yet another nice little cliffhanger, as someone calls Gwen while she is in the airport, has her put in the Torchwood lenses...and tells her they have her Mother, Rhys, and her baby...and they want her to bring them Jack.
NEXT TIME: Taking Jack
