Sorry, that felt all too Deus Ex Machina to me. I honestly preferred the story of the week formula to this hackneyed pseudo conspiracy plot that, despite its protestations that it had global scope, still felt like a Buffy plot.

I should get back to nature, too.  You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer.  Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached.  Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

I didn't mind it, except the "you're special and you can save the world" part, that worked over and over again on Buffy, and could have worked on Firefly, just falls flat here..

I really viewed this as a deconstruction of that plot myself.

IT'S ALIVE!!

So, anyway, I'm about a quarter of the way through season 2 of this and it's a lot better than season 1 was, so far. Anyone seen all of season 2 and can say if the quality persists?

Generally yes, though it does fall in to the hole of "oh crap! only four episosed left in the series. Must wrap up with a bang!" And ends up cramming way too much shit in to the final few. Was entertaining though.

OK cool, that's good enough for me to continue watching them, currently at a rate of one a day. Thanks! :)

I don't watch this show but I just saw that series 1 is on Netflix for instant play in case anyone is interested.

Hah, I've been watching the season 2 episodes I collected back when they were actually on the air and apparently so has the ridiculous spammer in the message above!

I'm up to season 2 episode 8 now and it's getting so good that I'm disappointed it was cancelled.
