Right. Obviously Miracle Day is thoroughgoing bobbins (and rather bland and dull bobbins too), but last night's mad magic potion sequence made me feel fond of Torchwood for the very first time. Eve Myles the best thing in it by a country mile.

To my mind now obviously has nothing to do with SF/F any more, but has turned into action adventure with a hundreds-and-thousands sprinkling of technobabble. Seems to be feeling its way towards Burn Notice: small team of outcasts solving problem of the week with slightly preposterous use of whatever is to hand (Burn Notice obviously owing lots to The A-Team). But Torchwood nowhere near as savvy or well-crafted as Burn Notice. And Torchwood has nobody to compare with the Dream Team of Bruce Campbell and Sharon Gless.

To my complete surprise, I am going to watch episode 3.

Incidentally, she did have a baby in November 2009, which explains why she looked so convincing as a recent mother...

It has suddenly occurred to me that I do have an icon more topical than Owen.

Aha, that would make sense...

Is the woman in the icon the PR character?

Yes, Lauren Ambrose. Or Ms Morden, it has been suggested.
