Story: Torchwoood: Miracle Day - End of the Road
Written By: Jane Espenson & Ryan Scott
Length: 60 Minutes
Year: 2011
I would say a few more answers...and a few more twists and mysteries are added in this installment of Torchwood. The Torchwood team are taken to Angelo, who is now an old man in a coma. But as Esther waits outside, slowly guards are being taken out...and then finally Esther has a gun held to her head...by William Friedkin.
The episode gives us some answers, like revealing that those behind the miracle must be “The Families” originally three people who made a deal in the 20s to find the secret to immortality through Jack. It also gives us a nice finale for Friedkin, who blows himself, and sadly Angelo’s granddaughter (played by Nana Visitor), up while under arrest.
We’ve had nothing but great work yet again from Bill Pullman as Oswald Danes and Lauren Ambrose as Jilly Kitzinger, but this episode also adds another great character in John De Lancie (Q!) as Shapiro, a top brass man from the CIA, who is hilariously arrogant and bossy...something you know De Lancie is good at.
The most important element of the episode is of course the fact that Angelo dies...DIES. He seemed to have some kind of null field around his bed, which might have been salvaged from the ruins of the Hub...but the question remains who may have the other null field...and who REALLY is behind the Miracle.
Theres plenty of twists, character moments, mysteries and plot points to keep anyone who is still digging Torchwood (from what I can tell many fans seem to have dismissed this new season, I have not...even if it isn’t quite as sharp as Children of Earth) wanting to see what happens next.
