Fair enough, that's why I said nothing. But still.

Cool.

Plus it's only like three of us that have actually seen it so far. The yanks are still mid season or something!

We're shortly past a major turning point for Julian. I'm trying to stay vague. I like it a lot though I am definitely getting a "everything they do is just creating the future she came from" vibe. A lot of predestination feel to all of this.

Yea, I'd like to talk about the finale now that I've seen it, but I know many people here have no spoiler tag self control.

It did not go how I expected it to. This show to me is a great example of a second season massively improving upon the what they did in the first season.

I just watched the finale. Wow, that was intense and I'm curious where they go in Season 3 since they set it up to have some major changes.

I know, isn't it great?

Usually when a show leaves on a cliff hanger like that, I sorta just roll my eyes and wait for them to reset it all back to 'normal'. With Continuum, what the fuck is the norm here? I don't know!

That's refreshing.

So I've binge watched *all* of this over the last 3 days, in the background while working. It's pretty good, although it took some time to really get going. It's now on my watch list!

Also, I regularly criticize other shows for sexism &/or racism, not this one! No siree, not one bit.

So the escalation continued right to the season finale and now I have no idea how they are going to transition into whatever they are trying to do.

SEASON 4 HAS BEEN GREEN-LIT!

Only getting six episodes, and it'll be the final season, but hey, at least they're gonna wrap everything up.

Probably good its getting a 6 episode finale. They are about as far down the rabbit hole as the audiance is likely to follow them so now this gives them enough to wrap it up with a big finish.

I'm three episodes into season 2 and I've gotta get something off my chest. This show is merciless with its redshirts. Grunts die by the dozen all the time and nobody feels it. Cops losing their own is a huge deal anywhere, but (to this point) in Continuum it's like meh, another three SWAT officers, plenty more where those came from. Other than that, I'm having a good time. Thanks for the heads-up.

The Countess and I are watching this through a second time and it's well worth it. Amazing how much stuff gets missed or forgotten between episodes that you get when you just sit through it pretty much straight. We are doing mostly one per night, skipping weekends and doubling on cliffhangers.

Very worthwhile show.  Lots of believable future stuff mixed in with crazy scifi shit.

Yes, I know I'm paranoid, but am I paranoid enough?
