It's not supposed to be taken seriously, and that is great. It's not as /dark/ as the original Teen Titans tvshow (or most of DC tvshows, to be honest) but it's silly and funny and that was probably the point. It's a great silly show that makes you laugh. There's nothing wrong with that.
The last true Star Trek. Such a shame it didn't got the end it deserved.
And No, I don't consider the crap JJ Abrahms puts out Star Trek.
"The Gifted" had a better premiere.
Count me in the minority that thought that this show as mostly OK. I enjoy doomsday type shows, I think you can teach yourself things about that possible outcome and postulating on what you might do or not do in the same situation.
There is a very heavy agenda-driven underlying theme of this show that detracts from everything.
The show is basically about what the world would do if the oil was all contaminated, that's fine, it's worth wondering. The problem is that the show ends on that all of this suffering was worth it because the world is so much more amazing when oil isn't in the picture any longer. They fail to showcase the fact that there would probably be a 90% die off of humanity from hunger, violence, lack of medical care and so forth, but it's all worthwhile because no more oil. The better outcome should be that they fix the oil but realize we rely on it too much and allocate far more resources to supplementing it and thus find a happy balance, but the climate nuts can't have that, it must be that oil is the root of all evil.
Will I ever watch this again? No, most certainly not (especially after the unicorn and rainbow ending). Do I regret watching it? Not really, it was an interesting piece of fantasy to replace an otherwise crappy TV schedule that hasn't seen hardly any worthwhile shows in several years.
I did realize that it's not that I didn't like Matthew Fox in Lost, I just don't like him at all, in anything. He has no depth, he's just being himself and repeating some lines, that is the extent of his limited acting skills. I mean, good for him, I can't act so he's better than me, but he's not on par with other excellent actors out there either - far from it.
This ensemble is the closest thing America has come to the original Top Gear gang. Funny as heck.
Other than having to mute the god-awful theme song, I'm loving this series.
Don't bother with this one...probably the least interesting show in the "highly unrealistic millitary/romance show" category I have ever seen... :P
