Torchwood: Miracle Day trailer!

Torchwood, the amazing spin off from Doctor Who, has a new season debuting 7/8/11 on Starz. If you are completely unfamiliar with Torchwood the brass tacks version is this: They are a British special ops unit unsanctioned by the government but relied on to investigate the alien and off-center. The team is led by Capt. Jack Harkness, a former Time Agent made immortal by Rose Tyler and the time vortex in the season 1 finale of the rebooted Doctor Who. All of Torchwood is available on Netflix as a Watch Instantly selection and deserve your full attention. Season 3 in particular is possibly the best 5 episodes of serialized television I have ever seen. I highly suggest you check out all 3 seasons, 31 episodes total, before you dive into this new season. However, according to showrunner Russell T Davies, season 4 will be a complete jumping on point for those wholly unfamiliar with the show and its universe. Either way, check out the trailer and leave a comment below.

Teaser for Dirk Gently!

The BBC have released a teaser trailer for Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency.  If that title means nothing to you feast your peepers on this.  Dirk Gently is the star of two novels, one matching the above title and the other being Long, Dark, Tea Time of the Soul, written by Douglas Adams.  Adams of course is most famous for the five book Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy trilogy which has had many different versions created for pop culture consumption with the most recent being the Hollywood version staring Martin Freeman of The Office and now The Hobbit.  The Dirk Gently series has never seemed to be quite as popular as Hitchhiker and that’s a shame.  Tea Time is utterly brilliant.  The story is completely mad in the way that only Adams could produce.  I have not finished the first Dirk novel but it is on the list.  This series marks the first entry into television for Dirk and from this 30 second trailer it looks great.
