With one episode left, we get...was this an episode? Felt a bit more like an admission that they've never had any idea where they wanted this to go...
I appreciate that they are including a lot of little touches that convey the flavor. The Coriolis gravity effect when pouring water, the ways in which the different environments have shaped humans into almost separate species. So far, they are hewing quite closely to the source material, and I'm liking it.
She's an awful therapist.
How is this woman going to be this smart and paranoid about her research and not have cameras up? Or be able to audit her print log? Mia is awful at spycraft.
The chair is a mechanical device, she could have just turned around and blasted it. wtf...
Just because there are seven fertilized eggs doesn't mean all of them have to be carried to term (they do commonly freeze excess fertilization in IVF treatment). I'm only about 30 in, but going to call it. Their father was a horrible person who sacrificed his wife and the happiness of all his children rather than abide by the law and be happy with a sustainable solution.
I was right.
So duplication lady...she's part of a collectivist community, pouring herself drinks and talking to herself. That may just be the most unintentionally ironic display of self-absorption ever captured on film.
Should have stayed in the house Karl...
The organ in my body that lets me suspend disbelief, it's in shambles. Why do they have Internet? Why weren't they quarantined sooner? Who thought yet another Lord of the Flies remake was a good idea. This show is so bad it makes me want The 100 to return more quickly.
I have to wonder if all the Marthas are just there as a defense against wealthy vigilantes and alien boy scouts.
If she invented/discovered stack technology, wouldn't she be the oldest of old Meths?
Eh, I found it rather disappointing. I know in the mythology of the show stack tech has only been around a couple hundred years, but look at how different culture is with just a few decades of cell phones. Am I really to believe cross sleeving would even be a thing? If the stack can receive input from drugs, how would a body's natural hormones impact? Lack thereof in a synth body? And DNA tagging? When you jump sleeves, clone? What kind of identity verification is that?
Dude was rolling around for a week and no one told him his dad died? wtf...
Ouch. I've watched some hot garbage before, and I'll likely watch another episode at least. But this has some issues. For one, Inhuman society is horrible. Monarchy, castes, those that don't get terragenesis manifestations are enslaved.
And what was up with awkward beach party. I'm glad they shaved off that hair, that was just awful. And Blackbolt is as compelling a character as warm, spoiled milk. I'm struggling to find anything redeeming in this rn.
At this point, I'm rooting for the Abbies. All these people are horrible.
Clarke, girl, what are you doing?!?! Did you see that dress she wore? No one wears that to just "get their bandages changed"! Up your perception game Clarke, you're missing all the clear signals.
ZOMG this show is ridiculous.
Making smoky eyes at other "undercover" agents across the party floor...
The whole "Anonymous" subplot, that one of them would use the line, "If you are innocent, you have nothing to hide."
Ok, beyond ridiculous.
I lack the ocular muscles to prevent the amount of eye rolling going on right now...
Why would the aliens/hybrids elect to begin their efforts in the United States? It seems counter intuitive. There are other nations that would be far better places to begin. Pick a disadvantaged nation, with an impoverished population. Spread out, leverage humans internecine conflicts as a method of self preservation. And if alliances can't be built with the human population, go with the AI, or even other species. The US exceptionalism and single minded focus on the human species does the story a disservice.
Well now, that's an unexpected guest appearance...
Thoroughly ambivalent. I watched it, it was not completely objectionable. Nor was it praiseworthy.
So I can't tell if I need to binge this so I fully recognize the internal narrative inconsistencies, or if I should be like the cops who at least at this point are acting like the most inattentive incompetents.
Y'all just came back from the dead. This is DC, nobody dies, or goes down.
This will obviously not be a one-to-one translation of books to movie. Some of this first episode was from Trial of Hari Seldon, some of it from book one. I am guessing over the course of the first season we'll see the struggle to begin the work of the Foundation, and may get some hints of the second here and there. The actual existence of the second will be revealed at end of Season with emergence of the Mule, and likely Daneel reveal.
Why isn't she in therapy, and recovery? Is it because she's a Scientologist?
This wasn't good.
Bad CGI to prop up a story conceived by Mark Millar, who, despite a wealth of more interesting thought in the world, continues to have people buy his cliché shlock.
But for those looking for their superhero stories to be simple, free of politics or point and as bland as butter on white toast, it might serve as a brief distraction from being mad at the sky.
Hands down, the most insufferable character Sean Bean has ever played. And he has played a lot of characters.
It's too bad none of these people know sign language. They could have gotten a big head start.
The anomolies don't challenge my suspension of disbelief half as much as these government goobers.
That mindmeld was super non-consensual.
I really don't get how they don't know about Jurati. The ships computer, the medical hologram, were unable to tip them off?
The Romulan super villain is super annoying.
I'm enjoying, but I could fly a Borg cube through some of the plot holes here.
Oh, this looks awful.
How is there that much blood sprayed around that apartment, but not a drop on him?
WTF, what woman goes and randomly walks down a runoff tunnel? That's like a tunnel with a neon sign on it that says MURDER ME!
This is so ridiculous, I may be compelled to continue.
