Torchwood: Miracle Day (#2)

Mini review #2: "...Newman!

So I wasn't aware Seinfeld actor Wayne Night was in Miracle Day, because I didn't actually recognize his name. Oops. Just one of those holes in memory/knowledge that I'm just now getting around to plug.

On the other hand, I was well aware Dichen Lachman (Sierra from Dollhouse) was going to be making an appearance. A good role for her, although I would've prefered BBC/Starz/whatever had shelled out for the big-league CGI artists. I mean really - I don't think their aim was to have the audiences laughing in the walking-with-a-broken-neck scene, huh?

Also - I was holding off on saying this until I had a chance to see another ep, but: did Bill Pullman have a stroke or something? Or has he just turned into a really bad actor? Not to mention he's aged really badly since the last time I've seen him in anything - as opposed to Wayne Knight, who apparently has been kept in cryostasis since Seinfeld, only being thawed out for acting gigs.
