Wow, that got me teary too!

I don't think it proves anything about States though... as Mark says, 'shared responsibility'. If this situation happened with only one other person/couple in the restaurant, chances are they'd say something (I'd hope).

Like many BBC shows now it is a co-production (between BBC Cymru, BBC Worldwide(BBCs commercial wing) and Starz) to get some american money for the expensive bits...

Okay... I think the most exciting part of the Video is the title right above it:

Torchwood: Miracle Day (2011): Season 1 Trailer

Starz is definitely getting a new customer for a few months.


Wait, it's playing on Starz?

I'm really digging the new season too.



Haven't gotten beyond the Pirate episode yet. I have to drag MikeyNY along somtimes when we DVR a series. We wind up falling a few weeks behind.

I've also been wondering when and if they will ever wind up revisiting the Doctor's Daughter from a few seasons back.

Wow, that's a real eye opener...

Perhaps your average person in the US south is far more tolerant than the media generally give them credit for.

Kudos to those people in Texas!

Great clip, thanks for sharing it!

I remember back to my college days when we learned about about a concept, and I'm going to butcher the name of, "Shared Responsibility." The more people that are witness, the less likely someone is to get involved.

If someone is in an intimate setting with only one or two people around, the fewer number have a greater shared responsibility to act, and therefore are more likely to do so.

If you've got a hundred bystanders, everyone has a smaller shared responsibility to act, and therefore any one person is less likely to do so.

This was a great video, Nicholas. Thanks for sharing.

It's nice to see, for once, that the issue is being shown and addressed outside of the usual political rhetoric.

Completely amazed by this. Especially when you consider that LESS people got involved in NY. Perhaps not more tolerant but less likely to be bothered?

I guess I just saw it as they took the original text and changed one line unpredictably. Just not enough to perk my humour, I guess.


Yeah, but they changed one line and made it dirty! That automatically equals funny. :)

(Just so we're clear, I'm making fun of my own immature sense of humor, not commenting on yours.)

Can't wait for "Miracle Day" this summer. The last (mini-)series, "Children of Earth" was mind-blowingly good, so I'm looking forward to seeing what they do next.

Two awesome updates this week:

Nana Visitor to guest-star in "Miracle Day": www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/s8/torchwood/new...asts-three-more.html

New trailer released! http://www.movieweb.com/tv/TVPOb0vXmsQhTS/season-1-trailer

ALSO - note how Counselor Troi is depicted as just standing there contributing absolutely nothing to the story whatsoever. Just thought I'd point that out...


I know I'm going to get dirty looks from MikeyNY when I get home tonight for saying this... but I can't resist:

It could be worse... she could be at the helm and crashing the Enterprise into something.

(See: Star Trek: Generations and Star Trek: Nemesis if you have any questions)
