Last Nights episode was okay, besides teh obvoisly fake digital effects, proof they are on a budget. I enjoyed the whole deal with stolen identity but in that line I can't remember who that Curran guy was.

[Iron_Maiden]

Not as pleased with last nights episode. Not as good writing and they seem to be struggling to adequatly stretch out the story line.

I've read that next week's episode is supposed to bring back some of the awe and amazement to the show with Taylor and Mira alone in the wilderness.

[Iron_Maiden]

I certainly hope so.

its not a bad show, its just i think the story writers got confused about who there target market was. it seems like it should be written for guys, but they put that stuff in there to appeal to women and it just kills the momentum in the episode. IMO..."you gotta keep em separated"

I'm fully convinced it's a family show, directed at everyone, thus a watered down sci-fi with a bland teen drama.

Simple observation. . .not that I want or need to, but how many people have you seen actually killed on camera thus far?

[Iron_Maiden]

2 or 3 I think.

Now that you mentioned it, never occured to me.

Season fianle was alright. Was cool to see the dino in action. Interested to see how next season pans out with the badlands cliffhanger.

I was pleasantly surprised at the season finale.

The violence was ramped up sufficiently to pull it out of a pure family disney-like TV show. They held the teenage mellow-drama to a minimum, and the cold-blooded assassination of Taylor's second in command, Alicia Washington, was brutal. I was very worried that it was all going to be a dream of Jim Shannon, especially since he remarks a little later it all felt like a dream when he was knocked unconscious from the explosion. Of course, it has it share of goofy plot and strategy holes, as always. Like having dozens of soldiers RIGHT at the portal when they expected the enemy troops to arrive. You would THINK in 2149 they would have learned something from lessons learned in the past like Israeli check points. But even SG1 made the same mistake, so I guess I have to give them a break.

I thought not revealing what was under the tarp was a pretty cheap attempt to get you to anticipate the next season.

I was riding the ragged edge of giving up on it. It now however, has bought itself a reprieve, at least with me.

shades of Stargate Atlantis. Jr. and Company will probably set the new-and-improved Wayback Machine to a time 2000 years before their current time to go to Atlantis and destroy it.

everything that is old is new again...

Well well, looks like the thread they were hanging on to finally snapped.
