Last week, our team was left broken and scattered. Gwen was shipped back off to Wales, and Esther was on the run with a dying Jack. As far as cliffhangers go, that was a pretty good one. But this episode opens a full two months later, so we don’t see how everybody ended up where they are. Opening with disappointment, this episode doesn’t get much better.

With the launch of Dark Horse Comics’ Angel & Faith series upon us, I wanted to recap some of the truly canon-worthy moments of IDW’s Angel: After The Fall. If you haven’t had a chance to read Brian Lynch’s epic “sixth season” of Angel, then you’ve really missed out. While IDW’s Angel series had a shaky path once they began switching writers, Lynch’s After The Fall is a triumph, managing to feel like a true and worthy chapter in the Angel series. Some of this can be attributed to the fortune Lynch had in being able to meet and take notes from Joss himself before starting to write, but it takes a truly talented individual to craft a tale where the characters feel so right, yet are still pushed to places you’d never imagined! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Lynch is the new Joss.

Is this season running out of steam? Are the writers stumbling and trying to find their footing again? At this point, it’s hard to deny that "Torchwood: Miracle Day" is lacking the momentum it had at the outset. The following teaser review is SPOILER-FREE, but note that there are some cryptic teases as to what you can expect, and opinions that might be considered spoilers if you’re very sensitive.
We get a lot of new information, see some of Jack’s past, and learn more about what is behind the Miracle and this new Blessing. Having said that, however, this episode left me feeling a bit empty and wanting more story progression. Below is my full reviews which contains SPOILERS, so be warned. You may want to watch the episode before reading further.
