An odd episode. It's both simultaneously slow paced and revelatory. Plenty happens, and yet it also feels like plenty doesn't.

I loved how Rex, for instance, tricks Wayne Knight's CIA boss Brian Friedkin. That was a very cleverly written piece of script that managed to trick me into thinking Torchwood had actually been captured by the CIA!

A similarly lovely moment is Jack reminiscing about Ianto to the critically ill Angelo. A touching piece of continuity for sure, and one of John Barrowman's best performances as Jack.

However the fact that it pretty much entirely takes place in one singular location makes the plot feel very slow and meandering. Sometimes setting a story in one place can work well dramatically (see The Girl Who Waited), but here there doesn't seem to be any dramatic purpose behind it.

Still, good to learn a little more about what is causing the 'miracle', and I'm curious to learn more about 'category zero'. What dark means do they do to get rid of people like Oswald Danes, I wonder?

The ending scene with Jack is also a fantastic cliffhanger. It's very hard to place that character in any sort of peril where you feel he could be in danger, but the genius of Miracle Day means a cliffhanger like this where Jack really could be in trouble is so much more effective than it would be in a normal series of Doctor Who or Torchwood, where Jack still has his immortality.
