Story: Torchwoood: Miracle Day - Escape to LA
Written By: Jim Gray & John Shiban
Length: 60 Minutes
Year: 2011
"Escape to LA" is definite success as an episode. It had enough character moments to keep you interested in our heroes and villains, and it had a clear plan and mission...and less meandering around. Hopefully the setup stuff is starting to fade away as the actual action begins to take place for the series.
Once again Bill Pullman shows his skills as Danes, but we also get some better moments from people like Kitzinger, Esther, and C. Thomas Howell as "The Gentlemen". Some plot elements of the larger picture like the "Overflow Camps" and Gwen's father being put in one, are a nice touch as well.
Most of all I just liked that the episode had a clear plot. It didn't feel like it was several random pieces of the larger puzzle...it still was a definite part of the puzzle, but the real PLOT came from Torchwood playing Mission: Impossible with PhiCorp and trying to steal some of their computer hard drives.
Solid episode, lets hope that the series keeps up the pace this and Dead of Night have begun to showcase.
NEXT TIME: Gwen Heads Home
