If you have read the book, the movie was shit compared to the book. If you compare tv show to the book, it's shit again. Approach this as something new, dont compare it to the book. It has a potential, lets see how well it goes.
The movie is way too unrealistic. No one plugs in a USB cable on the first try.
musical episodes are the worst type of episode and you cannot change my mind
Basically just a boring filler episode. There was only ~3 minutes of content actually worth watching, and it was all at the end.
These people are just so frustratingly dense. Ok so they don't all know they're dealing with zombies. But even so. They still drive at 20mph as they rubberneck when guns are being fired. Looting and gunshots, I know let's shine our flashlights out the windows. Seriously?
Aaargh as if that's not bad enough. Let's wait until daylight when everyone will be jamming the roads so we can see that the roads are jammed.
This series is just going to wind me up, I know it.
Feels exactly like Stargate formula with similar issues (no surprise, with Jo Mallozzi and Paul Mullie). Not a bad thing as is being a huge Stargate fan. Quite the opposite actually, it feels kinda like "home", familiar so to say, although the cast is completely different and there's no Stargate anywhere whatsoever.
Now, this is not SG by a long shot BUT it shares some of the longest writers/exec producers of SG which is a good thing.
Personally, I couldn't be happier about Jo making a new SciFi show in space. It may or may not work out but so far, and we're just 3 eps in now, I genuinely enjoyed it. It doesn't reinvent the wheel and I see issues (clichés) but is by far not the worst effort of a new show I've seen the past seasons (DIG/American Odysee) and has room for a lot of exploration and I do trust Jo to be at least able to make this a greatly enjoyable show given time. Question is, if he is given the time he needs.
Considering the low acceptance of "SciFi" these days I won't hold my breath no matter the journey in S1 but we'll see.
Pike saved Octavia more than once to try and redeem himself. Warrior Princess wannabe had to kill him anyway. She f'd one grounder so that makes her Xena ?
Solid episode nevertheless.
The series died much quicker than Walking Dead. The way the people make their arguments make no sense. So we have Travis for no apparent reason becoming the Rick Grimes character; wait he's the mayor?! So much boring in this episode. They say 9 days since putting up the fence and there are 12 such neighborhoods. The logistics behind that chain link fence is at least a few days and they have been trapped by the Army since before the fence was finished so they should be complaining about a longer amount of time.
They cannot see that tiny flashlight especially at dawn?and if they can what is her plan. The Army doesn't have perimeter sweeps to enforce the enforced curfew? That is not the kind of dick that a 1st Lieutenant is and he would not still be such a low rank in his late 30s.
Wait, what, why does Travis say his Ex-Wife is a nurse; she was lying to him about her job? So the Army decided to fence in a neighborhood and kill everyone outside of it. I hope this is that shitty 1st Lieutenant and not really bad writing for Army martial law procedures.
wtf is this s*** 10 minutes thas not enough
I have been watching the big bang Theory ever since it first aired. Being an IT student at the time, the uncomfortable social situations and nerdy jokes spoke to me. However, much has changed throughout the seasons, more about that later.
We start out with our four nerdy main characters. There is the recognizable fact of the three people with higher degrees (PHD holding Sheldon, Leonard and Raj) who make fun and feel themselves better than "simple" engineer Howard. There is the desperate search for love coming from both Howard and Raj, and the differentiation between the confident yet single Howard and the timid, uncertain just-as-single Raj. Sheldon is the one who has no sense of what's going on around him, and is only interested in his own world. Leonard is the humble cute guy who manages to get a date from time to time, an inspiration to Howard and Raj, although his on/off fling with Leslie gives us the impression that he isn't really that successful after all.
Then we have the obvious babe, Penny, the complete opposite of our four nerds. She makes something stir in all three of them, but follows the cliché of going out with the "wrong" men, being dumb, and ignoring their advances.
Even though these are all cliche’s, the inside jokes and the disarming clumsiness of the four guys made the first seasons well worth watching. Gradually however, as the show became more popular, the writers started to abandon what once made it so.
With the introduction of Bernadette and Amy the female characters are drastically expanded, but they don't add any real value to the show. Bernadette is the caricature of Howards mother, where as Amy is an attempt to make Sheldon look more human. At the same time, we go from a show with it's own flair to a one-in-a-dozen sitcom. The laughing tape went from being an accessory to being the main engine of the show. The characters became aware they were going to make a pun and started smiling like idiots before they said it, and laughing like people high on weed after someone made it. The longer this series continues, the more painful it becomes to watch. The lines that are supposed to be jokes are simply not funny. The acting and stereotyping are more bearable in a highschool play. And, as stated in another review made before this one, the show changes from laughing with the characters to laughing at the characters. From a nerdy show to a show about nerds.
Conclusion: if you're looking for some nerdy fun, watch the first three or four seasons. After that, it gets the same illness so many American shows suffer from, namely that it becomes a cash cow for the producers and starts a long, painfully slow, continuously prolonged process of dying a silent dead.They never seem to know when to end something great instead of going on to make it something mediocre.
If it's anything like the Flash and Arrow's latest Season (4), I won't hold my breath.
I absolutely loved the movie. The plot holes were almost negligable and as a whole it seemed to be.... realistic! This movie is Cast Away meets Gravity meets McGuyver.
I just hope this movie survives to the hype. None of Abrams movies ever has.
This show absolutely brilliant. Not only do we get to see the difficult decisions an secretary of state has to make, we can understand and sympathize on an emotional level that not many tv shows have the choices that Elizabeth McCord (played by a phenomenal Téa Leoni) has to make between doing what is the best thing for her country, and what is the right thing to do....
I especially like the fact that this is not just a tv show about the secretary of state, even though Téa Leoni is without a doubt the star that makes this tv show better by a factor of 10. No, its the supporting cast around her that makes this one of the better political drama tv shows i have seen in years. I can definitely see some love chemistry between Téa Leoni and Tim Daly (the husband Henry McCord). And the characters of the staff of from secretary are definitely being more developed over each episode.
This is absolutely one of those shows you need to keep an eye on. It has an intelligent script, an awesome cast, and a subject that is very interesting seeing that there is always something going on in the world, and the USA is always poking its nose where it (more often than not) does not belong....
What the heck happened to this show? It was hysterical when it started. Quirky, off-beat Jessica Day was highly entertaining and the roommates added a whole other level of humor, often times stealing the show. Now I've stalled on near the end of season three, where even the return of Coach can't seem to bring laughs back to the show. Jessica went from quirky funny to flat out annoying most of the time, and the poor male characters have been so beat down I can't even laugh with them anymore (Winston and the puzzles? Winston with his weird cat? Coach and the breakup? Is there a single ounce of testosterone in any of these guys?) Such a shame.
I cannot believe they canceled this show after two seasons! WTF! This is a great, well-thought out, dark drama. -_- wow, I'm just amazed at how LAME networks can be.
This looks like SyFy took a lot of money to create this show and it really payed off. It has a great authentic look and feel and the worldbuilding is intreaguing. But plotwise I have a problem. I have no idea what's going on. Whatever is happening failed to drag me into the story so far. None of the characters is remotely interesting so far they are no real personalities yet. I really hope this will improve in the following episodes because the show looks like it's worth it.
When I watched Dark Matter I was instantly drawn into the plot and was more invested in the characters. Dark Matter is produced very cheap but cast and plot compensate fr that. Just imagine Dakr Matter with the production value of The Expanse. It would be awesome!
What the hell? The past 2 seasons have not been very good, but this finale really did suck.
So, the Espheni had spaceships and stuff to invade the earth but were overpowered by spears?
And gg wp to Pope, was 80% dead, manage to get himself to DC just to die looking at his enemy.
Ignoring the 'one of the bloodiest battles' where we only see 2 guys dying and one of them kinda committed suicide, the woman that had a alien children and experienced hell died from a shrapnel? (np, was only dead for a couple of minutes) and not explaining what happened to Ben, everything Espheni died, Ben had the spikes but was just fine. It has an overall ok-ish show with an awful finale.
People who find this movie patriotic obviously cant read the title...its called AMERICAN sniper...im from Europe and cant see why americans are so against this movie. Its a tribute to the man and all those who didn't make it out of various wars. I find this an amazing movie. Not the best picture I've seen from the Oscar movies but its so much more than that
Ack! that was actually painful. An hour long episode that took only 10 mins to watch after skipping all the singing. Horrible episode.
I found the episode boring, with to strong of a political under tone and message.
It's a bit strange to see that final race without seeing or even mentioning the winner of that race (As if he didn't even participate). And why was Sebastian Vettel's departure from F1 given this little attention? A four-time world champion driving his final race should get way more screen-time. And we also hardly saw Bottas, Stroll, Latifi, Ocon or Zhou (only his crash during the British GP) this season. A pity I think.
Oh, and I wouldn't mind seeing more of the drivers' interaction (Loved all the banter), although I can understand that it wouldn't add much to the episode storylines.
A once experienced CIA operative browses the web from a laptop that contains unsecured secret files, then gets a ransomware AND a trojan virus.
What kind of bullshit is this?
You'd be robbing yourself if you didn't watch this.
As of now the sequels are kind of dead. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10200581345270848&set=vb.152126584847695&type=2&theater;
didnt know Clark ages backwards
Come on folks. It's only over six years later. Unless praimfaya makes you grow twice as fast, that's not her daughter. Six years is plenty of time to find other survivors... hmmm... maybe one with night blood who lost her parents?
I can't believe this... Can they get any better by the episode??? It sure seems like the impossible is happening.. Remember classic Star Trek where it wasn't just all bowing shit up? And you learn more about what it is to be Human? Oh yeah!! I'm loving this! Real sci-fi
This has slowly become the show I HAVE to watch each week.
