1x07 The Day That Was

I never zone out of watching stuff. I can't do background TV re-runs when trying to do anything even semi-productive because I'll just focus too much on the show. But I got so annoyed and bored at the show by the end of the last episode and into this one. Bad idea to try binging the show. I knew the characters are supposed to be flawed, but at this point it's too much with how useless Number 1 and to a lesser extent number 2 is. Number 3 doesn't use her main power so she's pretty useless too. Number 4 is still learning more about his, but it makes no sense why he was included as mattering for his entire life so far when his powers were barely used. Just being able to talk to dead people doesn't make you much of a traditional superhero. How would he have regularly helped out the squad when they were younger and a team? The stupidity of number 5 keeping incognito about everything has gotten so annoying. Number 7 it's at least shown enough that she was messed with so her stupidity is at least sort of bearable. I get they are all screwed up. But it hasn't been shown enough how screwed up and how much their father/society messed with them to empathize with them enough. Number 5 is the only other possible one since he was mostly alone for 40+ years. Other things like not really showing why Number 1 is seen as the leader of the crew is annoying too. Perhaps some flashbacks of him being the point man would've helped.

I'll probably read the spoilers for the last few episodes at some point if I don't get back to the show when season 2 comes out. And then watch the last episode.
