Story: Torchwoood: Miracle Day - The Blood Line
Written By: Russell T Davies & Jane Espenson
Length: 60 Minutes
Year: 2011
The end of Miracle Day is somewhat satisfying for a season that was pretty uneven overall. Do all the questions and threads begun in this series get conclusions? No. If so many random threads hadn’t been started there wouldn’t be so many left dangling now. Does the series wrap up everything in a nice neat bow? Not really. It is still kind of hard to rectify the events of the several months this series took place in with much of what we have seen in Doctor Who. These are the same universe...why does this one seem so completely different?
I enjoyed the conclusion with Jack and Rex giving the blood to the Blessing to end the Miracle, I thought it worked, even if the whole Blessing thing is rather hard to grasp. Too many things felt vague up until the end. Esther’s death was somewhat sad, but necessary.
I think that they shouldn’t have had a few cliffhangers, hints of things too come at the end of this one. The series was no guaranteed hit, and I’m not sure its viewing figures or audience and critic reactions really warrant another season...we’ll see if I’m wrong. But essentially this ended with Jilly seemingly joining the Three Families for “Plan B” and the discovery that with Jack’s blood running through his veins, Rex is now immortal.
