    The Whocast crew is divided this week as we disuss Episode 7, "Immortal Sins," of Torchwood: Miracle Day. Bobby, Brian, Nancy and BJ square off as they have highly differing opinions on the Jack Harkness-centered episode. There are only three episodes left for us to discover the cause of the miracle -- is it going to live up to the build-up? We shall see -- on Doctor Whocast, the only podcast that also travels in time!

    Outside of Colin Baker making his Doctor Who debut (in which he gets to shoot and later execute The Doctor), there's not much to say about "Arc of Infinity" and "Snakedance." Well, obviously that's not true. The episode is an hour long, so the guys had stuff to say, such as comments on Nyssa's new outfit, a villain's resemblance to a child actor, and puppets. Lots of puppets.

    The first full episode of The Time Meddlers is now available!

    The show’s two resident Meddling Monks, Ian Redman and David McClements, begin their journey into the weird and wonderful worlds of Doctor Who, starting with an introduction to themselves. Then, some news items await…

    This episode’s main feature is a look at some of the BBC’s promotional material for the second part of Doctor Who Series Six, beginning with a rather striking promotional image. Then, Ian briefly examines the prelude for ‘Let’s Kill Hitler’. But we save what we consider to be the best until last: we analyse the BBC One trailer shot-by-shot - and we uncover some surprises along the way…

    Trilbee reviews a film about cowboys fighting aliens. It’s not nearly as fun as you think it is… Arizona, 1873. A man awakens in the sparse hinterland of one-horse town Absolution, with no memory, a weird wound and a strange manacle on one wrist. Early on his journey of self-rediscovery, he discovers he’s wanted criminal Jake Lonergan, and that he was abducted by “demons” — like so many of Absolution’s inhabitants. Together with town boss Woodrow Dolarhyde, he and a posse set out to free their kidnapped loved ones from the strange creatures from “above the stars”... Cowboys & Aliens belongs to Paramount Pictures, Dreamworks Pictures and Universal Pictures. This video is for critical and educational purposes only and is protected under fair use.

    18:12 (GMT) - 20 Aug 2011

    reprinted from wikipedia with repect and thanks "The Middle Men" is the sixth episode of the fourth series of British science fiction television series Torchwood, and was broadcast in the United States on Starz on 12 August 2011. Contents [hide] 1 Plot summary 2 Reception 3 References 4 External links [edit] Plot summary In the pre-credits sequence, PhiCorp CEO Stuart Owens (Ernie Hudson) attempts to investigate PhiCorp constructions sites in Shanghai but his hired investigator(Eric Steinberg) jumps off a high-storey building to end consciousness rather than tell him the horror of what is really going on. Jack later confronts Owens and learns from him that the PhiCorp is as much a pawn as any other player in the system, and that whoever orchestrated the miracle has been working towards it for a very long time. He also learns of another term relating to the miracle which Owens' team of investigators have uncovered: "the blessing", dating back to the 1990s. In San Pedro, Rex finishes his video message contained along with the footage of Dr. Juarez's incineration, and Esther begins to suspect something has happened to Dr. Juarez. Rex attempts to pass himself off as a soldier working at the San Pedro Overflow Camp but is unsuccessful and captured. Juarez's killer, camp director Colin Maloney (Marc Vann), briefly considers using Rex's video to expose the death of Dr. Juarez and become a hero, but then attempts to kill Rex. Esther finds them and is forced to strangle Maloney. With assistance from soldier Ralph Coltrane (Fred Koehler), who had been complicit in Juarez' murder, they are able to escape the compound with the footage. They release it, causing a public outcry, but do not affect the government's stance on Overflow Camps and the life and death category system. In Wales, Gwen manages to break her father out of the Overflow Camp as Rhys runs over the gates with Geraint in the back of his truck. With the Torchwood contact lenses, Gwen publicly broadcasts a message explaining the purpose of the Overflow Camps shortly before blowing up the Modules (where people are incinerated) at the Cardiff facility. However, touching down again in Los Angeles she is unable to make contact with Rhys. A mysterious phonecall at the LAX white privacy phone tells her to put on her lenses, where she receives a message directly to her line of sight from the conspirators behind Miracle Day: they have her mother, husband and child, and to set them free she must deliver Jack. [edit] Reception Assignment X described the episode as "lackluster", stating, "This story seems to excel in examining all the permutations of its premise in society – such as the intriguing “45 Club” early in this episode – but the further it goes in following the actual plotline with the Torchwood team and their investigation, the more frustrating it gets as a viewing experience".[1] [edit] References ^ http://www.assignmentx.com/2011/tv-review-torchwood-miracle-day-the-middle-men-review-1/ [edit] External links The Middle Men on TARDIS Index File, an external wiki

Category 1s and 2s are sent to Overflow Camps which resemble concentration camps where there are hidden modules not appearing on satellite footage, and Torchwood suspects that these modules have a dark purpose. Appalled by growing governmental control over life and death, Vera travels to California to assist Torchwood. As he survived a fatal injury, Rex investigates a camp in California as a Category 2 patient while Esther sneaks in and administratively assigns Rex a Category 1 status and smuggles him a camera to film evidence. Using her medical panel credentials, Vera attempts to inspect the treatment of Category 1 patients and discovers that many conscious people are being assigned Category 1 status, essentially being declared non-living by the government. Vera threatens to prosecute Colin Maloney, the man overseeing the overflow camp after she sees the inhumane conditions which conscious Category 1 patients are enduring. He panics and shoots her. To cover up his actions, he and soldier Ralph Coltrane transport her to one of the modules and place her inside. Elsewhere, Jack tries to convince Oswald to use his fame to expose PhiCorp's advanced knowledge of the Miracle, but Oswald goes ahead with his pro-PhiCorp televised speech to a packed stadium. Meanwhile, Gwen returns to Wales to rescue her father from an Overflow Camp. During the escape attempt, her father suffers another heart attack and the doctors later give him Category 1 status, which Gwen struggles to challenge. When her husband Rhys reveals to her that the camp's personnel are taking Category 1 patients to the "burn unit", Gwen deduces that the modules are in fact incinerators used to burn the Category 1 patients. This is grimly confirmed when, back in the California Overflow Camp, Maloney activates the incinerator on the module containing Vera. Rex comes across Vera but cannot free her, and is forced to watch her being burned alive, reluctantly video recording her agony. [edit] Reception Writing for the Guardian, Dan Martin describes this episode as the episode in which "Miracle Day finally realised its potential". For Martin, the success of the episode is based on the fact that it revolves around "looking at humanity through a camera contact-lens, darkly". He concludes by opining that although this episode is set in a world completely different to our own this episode has greater verisimilitude than those previous.[1] AfterElton's Heather Hogan also praised the writing of the episode, stating that although she knew in advance that Vera was going to die, the ending left her with her mouth "completely agape". Hogan felt that the use of Nazi imagery relating to the in-universe use of the final solution was particularly unsettling. She questions whether this is making the show too dark, but ultimately concludes that the reverses applies, as Miracle Day now has her full attention, stating that the final scenes will continue to haunt her.[2] Writing for entertainment site io9 Charlie Jane Anders also praises the set-up of the episode, stating that it illuminates a basic truth about the perils of rationing healthcare. She also praises the way some of the failures of the protoganists (particuarly Vera and Gwen) play into the episode, stating that "'The Categories of Life' exposes human vanity in the way that only a script by Jane Espenson could".[3] [edit] References ^ Martin, Daniel (6 August 2011).

    Caught up in an orcstasy of hobbit-love, the Scrolls team talked so long into the night that an entire section of Chapter 8 had to be cut for fear of Melting Your Brains. Well... it's too late now, obviously, so as Scrolls is taking a short break this month we thought we would share the last of our late night ramblings with you.

    This then, is the Previously Unreleased third part of our Middle Earth Special in which we talk Adaptations - games, plays, movies, music and models.
    Not only that, ladies and gentlemen but we have Additional Bonus Content excavated for you from the dusty archives of Nargothrond. Shortly after the inaugural Festival-In-The-Shire event last year Clover nabbed a skype chat with one of the guests, Professor Corey Olsen. Wary of overburdening you with Tolkienalia at the time, it was eventually decided to shelve this interview - but now you can hear it in its entirety. Tune in and let the Tolkien Professor fix your melted brains.

    If you like what you hear you can download his podcasts free of charge here.

    Intro/Outro music is, as ever provided by Steadman. I have also used a snippet from Howard Shore's wonderful soundtrack to The Return Of The King in order to seperate the two sections of the podcast

    TV's Merlin (BBC series) and Camelot (Starz series.)

    Film's Excalibur and First Knight

    The History of the Kings of Britain by Geoffrey of Monmouth

    Marion Zimmer Bradley's Mists of Avalon

    TH White's entire Once and Future King series

    Bernard Cornwell's Warlord series

    Lord Alfred Tennyson's poetry

    D'Morte D'Arthur by Sir Thomas Mallory

    & in the process they invoke:

    SunTsu's The Art of War

    John Adair's Action Centred Leadership model

    Former English Cricket Captain & Psychoanalyst Mike Brearley's 'The Art of Captaincy.'

    The Two Daves! Not one of Tony's nightmares, but Dave gets to ask David Tennant... ONE question(ish). It's a long story, to be honest. Look, we went to the Fright Night Premiere. So, we review Mr Tennant's new film, and also, at the end of the show, there's a recording of the press line - it's a bit ropey in places - but then, so was the organisation... And Dave.

    Later in the show we take a look back at the ORIGINAL series four, you know, the one with Hartnell and Troughton.
