Recipe to tank your show:
I wish they would stop trying to push the romantic subplot with Wilf and Flynn. They clearly have no chemistry and it adds little too the story.
I'm also failing to see why RI cares so much about stolen information in a stub. They can just as easily cause a devastating world war there and call it done.
I have to agree that this appears to be on par with what the CW puts out. I was hoping for a thrilling murder/abduction investigation. What I gleaned from the first episode is that this is a half-hearted attempt at bringing to light the presence of human trafficking. Unfortunately, there's just too many glaring holes in the reality of it all.
If the acting wasn't bad enough...This episode felt like it was added in after the fact and was done so by an intern. The dialogue felt forced and out of place. This is certainly no longer a series about Godzilla or monsters.
"I've noticed you're on pills and have had a temper and zoning out all the time." "You want to take a swing at me? Go ahead!" "Oh, by the way, you will still be at the remote controls of the drill operation."
Whoever is writing this season should be fired. It makes absolutely no sense that they couldn't control that drill completely on site. Furthermore, Ed Baldwin has even stated in the show that he saw similar behavior in Gordo and even confined him to quarters. He's also an O-7 in the Navy with a lifetime of experience. No way in hell would someone that is high be allowed to perform such duties. I'm done after this season.
Oh, wow. That ending! :tired_face:
5+ hours at the hospital with blood-stained clothes and nobody has offered them a clean set?! Sometimes I wonder if the writers have ever spent time in a hospital.
I can't believe neither doctor stood to the side of or behind a patient that just had hip surgery. That's not an operational error, it's just common sense. Not to mention if she had hit her head, then the hospital would be facing a huge lawsuit.
Why did Frannie run past all of those people before saying "bomb"? It is nice to see the story progressing at a steady pace though.
Why was Karen at JSC? "Plot". Why did Molly Cobb need to be at JSC to tell Ed Baldwin how to fly the MSAM? "Plot". Why was Kelly Baldwin (NASA employee) breaking protocol by having unprotected intercourse and then carrying to term? "Plot".
This was a season full of poor writing and weak plot. I should have shut it off after the first few episodes.
The VFX team seriously needs to open an anatomy book or simply got someone the same age and height as Eleven's at the time of the first season to stand-in for reference. Her head is tiny and in some scenes her whole body.
I really appreciated that everything was so well wrapped up and still a bit left to the imagination in the end.
I officially dislike every character on this show. I have to agree that there is no longer anything driving the story. It's just complete and utter nonsense.
The writing in the 2nd season is terrible. The events should have happened in a couple of episodes. Instead it was stretched out to 8 episodes. I can't believe they had the nerve to set it up for another season.
Karen went from changing his to diapers to jumping his bones. Who's writing this nonsense? I hope this avenue of writing stops after this season. Talk about ruining a good story.
The show was great. This is a horror drama and NOT action/fantasy. If you're looking for sparkly vampires, then look elsewhere. I really enjoyed the slow burn and big reveal that came midway through the series.
If you're wondering about the air dates, then I have the answer. The moderator over at tvdb is a dinosaur and using his paper TVGuide dates. The proper air dates are posted at IMDb and the epix website.
This episode was so poorly written. None of the characters seemed themselves. Ginny put her hand in a walker's mouth?! Get the hell out of here with this nonsense. I was willing to look past the fact that the female cast all appear to wearing makeup now. As well as June spouting off medical diagnosis like this is some kind of medical drama. This show needs be flushed down the toilet with Beyond and the original series needs to be concluded.

Anyone tells you're that they're a Navy Seal is most likely lying. Seals don't go around sharing that information. Also, Mom has car keys and leaves daughter in unlocked vehicle and windows down? SMH. Bend that boy over your knee already. Worst mother of the year.
This is not for fans of the original series. Raylan Givens' character does NOT fit in this setting at all. This is a cash grab plain and simple. The writers haven't "taken inspiration" from Elmore Leonard's novel. They have literally replaced the main character, a local detective, and replaced him with a US Marshal. Makes absolutely no sense and it's just garbage. Read the novel and skip the show.
Thank you for finally clarifying why the husband is constantly not in the show. Now, please bring him permanently into the regular cast.
I sincerely hope that AMC throws this show in the waste bin along with that atrocity, TWD: Beyond. AMC is now on par with the CW as far as the level of writing goes. If they keep churning out crappy TWD spinoffs then they will be bankrupt by end of spring next year. Nobody with half a brain would that rubbish.
That Bolkow 208 aircraft is a 2 seater. The max carry weight is less than 600 pounds and there's no cargo area except under your feet. Jepp is easily half that weight and...the seats are narrow as it is.
That was never going to work in any scenario.
I think, overall, it was an enjoyable series. I agree with others that this feels like it would have been better in short format. I'll also add that Detective Ledroit being queer felt out of place. Almost as if it was added in after the fact.
Incredible animation while sticking to the 90s era style. The story is an interesting one and even holds true to some modern day advances.
Virtual Reality Implant? How did her body not decay? Fascinating "what-if" scenarios. Even if the science isn't accurately explained.
Great show if you don't mind animation. The series finale will blow your mind.
This plot would have worked for a 2 hour movie. However, the show is asking the viewers to care about 1-dimensional characters. Wait until you discover the so-called motivation of the hijackers. Put this one on the back burner as there are far better options out there.
So he didn't lose his legs in combat? Kind of hard to feel sorry for someone that was messing around in a combat zone.
