Oh. Series 3 just started here and the wife likes it, cause, you know, Noah.
Are you saying it's bad ? The baby stuff so far is bad. Like, really bad. It gets worse ?
It gets much worse, in that some point, any character you ever cared about even a little bit other than Pope goes full retard. Whatever interest you might have had in any particular character gets quickly extinguished as they make dumber and dumber choices. And even better? The showrunner quit at the end of the season and the guy taking over was one of the showrunners on Battlestar Galactica and Caprica. So yes, it's that bad and will never get better. |

So much worse. The baby stuff specifically makes me want to punch an actual baby. |

The baby stuff at the end reminded me of the end of the 4400. That is not a good thing. This show has sunk to almost Revolution levels of stupid.

Over and out.

I Tried. Show needs more aliens and less Supernatural=talk-about-feelings moments. I no longer care about this show. Its as if the only reason there are aliens in this show are so the characters can talk about how it makes them feel.

I started watching this show (cause, you know, Noah  ) and it seemed okay although nothing too special. Then it totally disappeared and I reckoned it was canceled and never thought about it again. I'm really surprised to see it's still on. What was with the huge silent empty time gap? Not interested in watching again since it was sort of mediocre, but just confused. |

It only ran during the summer months for I think a 13-episode season. So there was a lag time of a year between each season.

It wasn't that bad. Shades of the original V aside, I still want to know what the Volm are up to and where they're gonna go with Cancer/junkie girl after her last act.

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something. We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail

This whole series was utter, utter fucking wank.
Not going to bother with this any further.

Which part of the show finally made you just give up completely?

You were right about the finale. It was the most unbelievably awful cliched gibberish.
Not interested anymore.

I just started watching season 1 on my commute home. The black kid just put the worm thing back on. I thought that was a great moment, and then his Dad rips it off, killing him! I see that this show seems to go downhill in later seasons but I am enjoying it so far despite flashes of stupidity.

First season was definitely best. It still had hope of being a decent story. If you can make it through season 2, just stop there.

I can solider on! First season was sooooo bad only got remotely less grating once my eyes got used to the bad, from there its happy happy joy joy acid trip for me. Are the volm a bad idea? yes. does it matter? no.

What is so hard about making a sci fi show that isn't a god damn family drama. I don't even care if its just plain drama, battlestar galactica had drama, what it didn't have was fucking children and their fucking stupid ass parents doing stupid ass shit because of them.

Little Jesus doctor girl in season one should have been the cue.

It's just annoying that they ruined the whole recent rash of good premise sci fi shows (terranova, revolution, falling skies) by turning them into bullshit I GOTTA SAVE MUH CHILDREN shows.

None of those shows had a good premise. At least falling skies littered each episode with death and carnage. And to be honest the major theme of falling skies is NOT saving your kids. Your kids are more competent then you'll ever be and can take care of themselves. In fact the one thing the adults need to do is let them go.

In an idle moment I recently watched the first few episodes of season 1 and... Little Jesus doctor girl in season one should have been the cue.
This and: * Guns fix everything, especially strutting around with an AR-15 type. * If you don't have a gun, having one will make everything better. * Isn't it good society has so many guns for if there was an alien invasion. * Organising into militias keeps everything good. * Episodes with The Lord's Prayer and unchallenged Christian beliefs. This show is propaganda and a comforter for the American right. |
