Good. An episode capable of restoring my faith in Torchwood (but my faith in the show can be shakey at times).
I appreciated making use of Episode 7's massive levels of exposition. Gwen annoyed me tonight, but then she used to in Seasons 1 and 2 often as well.
I also thought that the show offered an interesting comment on Jack's relationship choices that fit better with the Jack in Who than I previously thought.
I wish "Kira" had gotten to stay longer, but I appreciated the roles all of the characters are playing. I also appreciate that the show didn't lapse into cliche when Oswald "wanted a woman" or when he attacked Julie.
After Episode 7, I had a low bar and had lost much of my excitement for Miracle Day, but this episode restored it and made me look forward to the final episodes. I'm holding out hope for this season of Torchwood."Trust me. I'm a psychopath." Jekyll
"And I thought the end of the world couldn't get any worse" Ianto-Torchwood

I personally felt ep 5 & 6 were a little dodgy, and 7 was good, but... this episode is back on form. Lot of INT world stuff, and some intriquing things being put forward. What I note that Torchwood is doing atm, is every episode we seem to have a new lead to the origin of the Miracle and we go 'ah so it was XXXX', and then half way through the next ep, that's proven totally wrong.
Certainly liking the link back to the Hub.

Found this one a bit boring tbh. Which, ironically, is still a step up from the abortion that was last week's episode."A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in. Good people do things for other people. That's it, the end." -- Penelope Wilton in Ricky Gervais's After Life

Definitely looking forward to the new episodes, where as a week ago I was only looking for this episode to get things back to normal/what I expect from this show.

This episode seemed to go round in circles slowly for me! I guess we'll find out what's going on as far as the 'Miracle' is finally. I feel the same frustration with this as I did with what exactly the 'structure' was in SGU. I always felt it would never be explained as to what it really is, just something mysterious and inexplicable that will always be there despite the best efforts of all to find out about it!

i think angelo died because jack kissed him. jack is some kind of typhoid mary in that he has and can deliver the 'kiss of death', likely some bacteria that he's always had either from the past or future and it's the counteragent to whatever made people immortal.
i think that's why 'kira' went on and on about all the research into immortality and the jellyfish and stuff.

It was nice to hear that someone had been digging up some of the lost alien/Torchwood tech in Cardiff, even if it was the bad guys!
As a whole, I enjoyed the episode, but I can't help but feeling that the purpose of all these middle episodes is to keep the budget down. I'm pretty sure that the last 90 minutes of the series is going to blow our socks off. I just wish that they could of done a better job of hanging on to the audience after Ep5. I really like Torchwood but I'm afraid it's going to be a long time before we see anymore after this series concludes.

I enjoyed this week, seems like the final two episodes are going to be pretty exciting. I think this whole series might have been a little better if it were 8 episodes long instead of 10 as the "middle" of the season has had quite a bit of unnecessary time, but I'm enjoying it.
