Much of Torchwood: Miracle Day has been derided, here and elsewhere, for moving slowly. “When is something going to happen?”, people said. “Isn’t this just repeating itself? How many more episodes must end with a melodramatic declaration by Gwen Cooper?” Well, this episode definitely breaks the … [Read more...]

Torchwood: Miracle Day – Episode 6 – Dork Review
Torchwood: Miracle Day is now getting stuck into its second half, and there seem to be two major camps of opinion: the angry folk who think it’s just awful, and those who think it’s watchable but moving at a glacial pace. Thankfully, I fall into the latter category, otherwise these reviews would … [Read more...]
Torchwood: Miracle Day – Episode 5 – Dork Review
This week on Torchwood: Miracle Day, Oswald Danes takes centre stage at a rally, whilst the Torchwood crew break into an obvious death camp set up by the big evil corporation. This may sound like every episode so far, but could there be a more dramatic ending this time? After all, last time we … [Read more...]
Torchwood: Miracle Day – Episode 4 – Dork Review
Ever watched one of those news broadcasts after something catastrophic has happened, where the reporter tries to become a poet, describing events in emotive, melodramatic prose, restarting the obvious again and again, never reaching a conclusion or making a valid point? Well, Torchwood: Miracle … [Read more...]
Torchwood: Miracle Day – Episode 3 – Dork Review
The third week of Torchwood is upon us, and I think we’ve got the basic point now. The Torchwood gang, all two of them, have arrived in America and recruited two discarded CIA operatives to make themselves feel less lonely. Now they must investigate why people are no longer dying. So, with ten … [Read more...]
Torchwood: Miracle Day – Episode 2 – Dork Review
After a first episode that was universally acclaimed as alrightish, Torchwood resumes with a poisoning, a TV appearance and a clunky melodrama moment at the end. And believe it or not, only one of those features Captain Jack Harkness. So does this constitute an hour of excitement? You’d think so, … [Read more...]
Arrietty – Dork Review
Arrietty is the latest movie from famed, popular and acclaimed Japanese animators Studio Ghibli, with a screenplay by its beloved founder, Hayao Miyazaki. It is also an adaptation of English children’s book The Borrowers, so presents us with a wealth of tiny people, misunderstandings, persecution … [Read more...]
Torchwood: Miracle Day – Episode One – Dork Review
After a few years off, Torchwood is back to pass the time while we wait for the second half of Doctor Who. And it has been controversially Americanised too – whereas Who merely set a couple of episodes there, the new Torchwood is a co-production with the US channel Starz and (even more fanbaitingly) … [Read more...]
Primeval: Series 5, Episode 6 – Dork Review
The final new Primeval of 2011 brings us the climax of Philip’s evil plan, the culmination of the entire year and a chance to kill off a few dead weight characters? Surely that’s the only way to make it feel like the last 13 episodes mattered? So who lives? Who dies? Was the thing any good? … [Read more...]
Green Lantern – Dork Review
This is one of those gigs where, reviewing it after many already have, I find judgment has been done for me. Green Lantern, I am told reliably, is at best disappointing, at worst a green glowing turd. I mean, look at this one. That guy is furious. So should I be joining the rest of the internet … [Read more...]
