carmen_ljMiracle Day, episode 5, I did not like.
It was stupid and unpleasant. It's been fairly consistently stupid the whole way through and I didn't mind much cause I was quite entertained. And episode four was pretty anvil-y but, y'know, RTD, so not exactly unexpected tralalala isn't Gwen great? But for the BIJJILLIONTH TIME RTD has decided to go on about how humanity is pretty much shit and he's doing it in EXACTLY THE SAME WAY as he did stupidly and with a hefty dose of racism in Turn Left and that he did really well actually in Children of Earth and now he's just...I don't know. The anvils, the anvils are crushing me. It's like he's knocking on the inside of my telly screen yelling "do you see what I'm doing here? Do you get it? DO YOU?!!" and, yes, yes I do and you've already done this rather a lot and you did it REALLY WELL LAST TIME so why are we getting the exact same theme told in pretty much the same way YET AGAIN? But with everyone being extra stupid and/or evil?
Also, I could really do without all the body horror for the women's not!deaths while dudes get shot and heart attacks.
So my enthusiasm for the series is kind of dead. Oh well.
