10/10 Season Premier the hype that was built up was worth it this episode was amazing with tons of plot twists and turns 100% Recommend.
I mostly agree with Tim. I think only some of the acting is terrible. The plot idea is good but I am starting to feel claustrophobic and this was only the first episode.
Loved this show. Beautiful cinematography that is on experimental side, and haunting soundtrack to match it. The story is slow, but purposeful, and focuses on human struggle. A very believable portrayal of near future. I think they missed with marketing, trying to catch a greater audience, hence the lower ratings. I hope they don't cancel this show because of it, because it is one of the most unique out there. The First will forever be one of my favourites.
I don't know what makes less sense: email pinging from a physical address(???) or Chloe saying yes.. WTF?
So that's the best crew we have? Really? I'm disappointed so far. Will give it a try for another 1-2 episodes.
WTF is maghra doing, like what was the purpose of leaving her family behind to show tamacti jun who she is, and why she chose this time exactly?!! maybe if it was a life or death situation like the time when she let the whole village, that is at least a solid reason to reveal the truth.
I'm really torn about this series because there's moments that i enjoy, but it just lacks so much sense.
Wow, good thing that company didn't deactivate that hi-tech, security ID badge of that worker they fired....
That little girl was crazy scary! (and a fantastic actress too)
So she suddenly spots a big silver button right next to the thing shes been staring at for weeks...
I guess the optimistic version of Altered Carbon and Black mirror. It's Binge worthy.
Michael Shanks's acting in this episode is magnificent.
My name is captain Dylan Hunt of the starship Andromeda......we hope to restore the commonwealth
Drop date for Season 3 is now January 1.
If Cisco designed something, why would he name it the "Martian" Memory Restorer? Also, Caitlyn, a trillion bytes of memory is only 1 terabyte which would hardly take years to search.
What is going on?? Why did this happen?? OMG! Everything is messing up!!!!
First I was like "Oh cool, Dr. Flox. I like Dr. Flox." Then I was like "Oh hell no, not Dr. Flox, that's messed up!!"
A huge let down in contrast to the first season...
Having seen Dark Matter first, in the scenes with "7 years old" Adria, I can only see baby Five. Not enough Jodelle.
The wraith make a much scarier enemy than the Goa'uld. They almost make the Goa'uld seem silly.
While I actually did enjoy season one, (Katee Sackhoff....Nuff said) I agree with the consensus that Season 2 was a leaps and bounds improvement, both in storytelling and production, over it's previous iteration. It did however get a slight case of the "speed wobbles"
right around midway through Episode 6, and like the literal "wobbles", they seemed to recover, then over correct, almost spin-out, and then, fortunately, remembered to take their foot off the gas pedal, circumventing going COMPLETELY off the rails,, before (barely) sticking the landing with a (slightly contrived) happy ending.
Katee Sackhoff looks like she finally decided to have a burger or two off camera, and looks all the better for it. Justin Chatwin continued doing his David Tennant doppelganger thing, while Samuel Anderson continued to shine as William. The writers made sure to score their SJ points with several forced feeling LBJQT references, though I don't include the romance between A.J. Rivera's "Martinez and JayR Tinaco's "Zayn" amongst them. Tongayi Chirisa's "Richard" had a nice character arc, starting off as rather a douche, but redeeming himself toward the end. Battlestar Galactica's Kate Vernon (Ellen Tigh) once again joins Sackhoff's Kara "Starbuck" Thrace in dual roles as her mother, and an alien Mother hallucination, and manages to pull the role(s) off with appropriate aplomb, while Elizabeth Faith Ludlow's "Caz" deserves honorable mention as Niko's sidekick / Number 1.
The Aliens somehow managed to channel "The Matrix's" Agent Smith in their assessment of both humanity and apparently every other sentient race in the universe, although it's never quite 100% clear "why all the hostility". However, their assessment wasn't all that wrong given Niko's Season 1 trigger happiness, along with Seasons 2's Carlena Britch, as Colonist Paula Carbone when making first contact.
Things were brought to a nice conclusion, although a tiny window was left open for a third go around, if they so desired. It's worth a watch IMO.
UPDATE: As stated above, although there appeared to be a quark sized opportunity for another season, alas, the bean counters at NETFLIX have breeched the airlock, and terminated contact with the crew for the foreseeable future.
Rob Lowe! Didn't expect to see him as blue man
I'm still watching this episode but I have a small gripe about them having Fitz call it an "EMP pulse"? An electromagnetic pulse pulse? Come on, he'd know better than that.
What is it with US TV shows and terrible, terrible Photoshop framed photos? Those gay couple ones were laughably bad...
This is getting ridiculous lmao.
Damn!
This is the star trek I root for, not the shit called discovery...
They cannot possibly not give us more seasons. My god, please don't do that to us.
Just stating the obvious: Patrick Stewart is one hell of an actor. So-so episode, but the performances here were great.
My goodness, Twain made an otherwise decent episode very difficult to watch.
