I personally love it. I found children of the Earth to be just as enthralling but the ending upset me quite a bit. I like the story of Miracle day. It's engrossing and entertaining and I can't wait till the next episode! :D

So what is the general opinion of Miracle Day so far?

Being a HUGE Torchwood fan since day 1, I think Children of Earth still ranks higher IMO, but then again, we still have 8 episodes to go...!

Yeah, Anna is the leader. She over threw her mother and took control.

Diana may show up later in the series.

Im just waiting for the day when a gay character can be added to a series, on a standard network, with no drama. They either have to be exceedingly fem or someone of the opposite sex needs to seduce them when they admit with much embarassment that they are gay.


Like Will and Grace?

Although there have been plenty of ambiguously gay characters throughout the latter half of the 20th century. They were always understood to be gay, but it was never mentioned.

Though I'm blanking on any examples, just now.

Personally, I long for the day when Asian characters can have as much leading actor time. I'm sure that a few have been done outside of being typecast as martial artists, mathematicians, or slitty eyed (and therefore untrustworthy) bad guys... I just can't think of any.

Nah, that would've been too "Death Becomes Her," maybe there was some nerve damage and she couldn't move her arms too much. I liked that actress from Dollhouse though.

ARRRG, You could have put a spoiler warning in the title of your thread. Why even the title of the thread is a spoiler grrr@you.

However since I didn't read the post and you reminded me to watch the new episode, I'll forgive you just this once. :silly:

Never got into Warehouse 13, but I had to look it up. Sadly the galleries at Siffy appear to be offline, so headed over to IMDB. I enjoyed Aaron Ashmore as Jimmy Olsen, the kinda cute, kinda nerdy photographer. Never though of him much as "eye candy" (unlike his brother, Shawn, who was the hottest "cold" man in town). How's he pulling it off? I may have to take a look at the first couple of episodes this season.

Jack Harkness from Dr. Who/Torchwood would be my ideal portrayal of a gay character if it weren't for the fact he isn't technically "gay" on the show, just omnisexual ("You people and your labels."). It would be nice to see a non-stereotypical, strong, gay character. Just hope Aaron's up to the task.

Haven't had a chance to watch EP 2, yet, but...

WTH, first Bones, now Warehouse 13 has turned into a Prius commercial?

Ooooh the hatred that flows through my veins right now, you could bottle it.

Jinx (and his special power) was REALLY annoying at first, but I feel that was more the writing and direction than the actor. By the end of the episode he was pretty endearing. (Though I don't really feel I'll ever not find the whole special power not annoying. At least Lattimer's power isn't thrown up in your face with such frequency.)

SPOILER - SyFy's Wharehouse 13 goes Gay

July 19 2011
Uhmmmm....Spoilers below


The newest episode of Warehouse 13's new season, titled "Trials," had an interesting surprise.

Last weeks season opener introduced a new male lead addition to the cast named Steve Jinks, nicknamed "Jinx" who works for the ATF. After Jinx gets introduced to artifact hunting, he gets recruited to the Warehouse by another show original cast member, and the plot ensues. Aside from initial character development, and the mission/episode main plot, little is revealed about Jinx other then surface details. He is a Buddhist and he hates lies (watch the show for more).

But....low and behold this week's episode has a bit of newbie teasing by another long time cast member, Claudia. During a steak out, after some witty banter, Claudia thinks Jinx is hitting on her, and after teasing him some more and making Jinx uncomfortable with the implication that he is into her, Jinx reassures her that he was in no way attempting to come on to her, because he is in fact, gay.

The rest of the episode shows he and Claudia bonding while they complete their mission, and setting them up as a cool "ATF Gaygent" and his "Girl Wonder" partner.

So SyFy finally breaks the Sci-Fi 5th wall, and casts a Gay character, openly gay, openly gay and male, and openly gay and male and cute, and not an obvious gay stereotype.

Bravo SyFy, I have been a fan of the mancandy on their network since Dr Jackson in SG1, all the way thru to Captain Apollo and others in BSG, oh, and can I get arrested by Sheriff Carter? Please? But now, they are finally taking a chance with making a main re-occurring character openly and unabashedly gay. Now....I just wonder who is going to get cast as his first love interest?

Just watched the second episode of the new torchwood. Fantastic. I thought the air steward was quite funny, if somewhat a bit stereotypical. "It was only one time...." lol
