Torchwood: Miracle Day, Episode 9

Episode 9 opens with Gwen busting into a pharmacy by driving a car through the front window. Why? Meds for her category 1 father that they have hidden away behind a fake wall in their basement. After the police arrive, looking for her father, finding nothing, the story takes an unusual turn. A delivery man arrives at Gwen's home. But it's no ordinary delivery, or delivery man, and here's one I didn't see coming at all. The delivery man is none other that Oswald Danes.


After Gwen beats the crap out of him with a pot for touching her daughter, he tells them he wants to trade information. What he said is enough for Gwen to call Jack, and soon he arrives. Of course as they work things out the police burst in the door once again, only this time they find her father, and take him away to the overflow camp.


After piecing the information from Oswald and the news reels of the stories that he mentioned, all fixed by Jillie, they believe that the Blessing is somewhere in Shanghai, China. But a little more info comes through, and they are forced to look at Buenos Aires, Argentina as well. But it is Gwen's husband, Reece, That puts two and two together. That they are not looking at one point, but two points that are one, Antipodes. It had been staring them in the face the entire time in the Phicorp logo. So the team splits up... Jack, Gwen, and yes Oswald head for China, while Ester and Rex meet in Buenos Aires. As the team heads out Gillie arives in China and is led to her destiny or fate which ever it may be. For the "Blessing" can kill as well as enlighten.

Jack isn't in Shanghai long before his gunshot starts bleeding again. A single drop of blood falls to the floor, unseen by Jack or Gwen, but it's actions draw Oswald's attention quickly. The blood, Jack's blood moves across the floor as if being pulled from a fixed point... The "Blessing" is calling to Jack, or at least his blood.

Doctor Who: Night Terrors



Wondering what happened on episode 9? Well here it goes...


The Doctor makes a house call. Yep a house call, or should I say an apartment call. He receives a cry for help from a young boy on Earth, and with out hesitation put the TARDIS on course. The Boy, poor little George has monsters in his bedroom cupboard. Or is it George that's the monster? As the Doctor tries to figure things out, Rory and Amy take a wild elevator ride to the other side of reality, where after running for their lives Amy is turned into a living doll made of wood. Soon the doctor realizes what he has been missing, and we learn that George isn't a monster, nor is he a little boy, well not a human boy anyway. George is a lost, terrified, and lonely alien child, wanting nothing more than to be loved. When his unknowingly adopted father shows the boy that he loves him, and always will, the alternate world he had created out of fear dissolves, restoring everyone within it to their proper state.


Not one of the best episodes I have seen, and a let down after "Lets Kill Hitler", but at least the moral is clear... Love conquers all, even in the Doctor's universe.
