n_maher Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 I'm with Todd, this has been getting better as it's moved along. My only gripe is that it's incredibly commercial laden. In the last episode there were at least 2, 4 minute segments. Come one, give it a little momentum!

n_maher Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 dvr ftw I have a DVR, even with the DVR that level of interruption is BS.
grawk Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 I mostly don't even notice commercial breaks anymore... with my directv dvr, I just skip 4 times, if there's no show yet, I do it again.

It's the only getting 4 minutes of continuous story line that gets me. And my craptacular comcast box has the 30 second advance as well, which is nice, but still an interruption.
tkam Posted February 19, 2008 Report Posted February 19, 2008 so if tvguide.com is to be believed there are 4 episodes left that were finished before the writers strike and apparently as of now there have been no plans made one way or the other on making new episodes for this seasons (or I guess ever). color me very fucking pissed if they don't continue it.
n_maher Posted February 19, 2008 Report Posted February 19, 2008 color me very fucking pissed if they don't continue it. x2 - but it is Fox which means that if people like it they'll cancel it.
Smeggy Posted February 19, 2008 Report Posted February 19, 2008 bittorrent for the win. Usenet for the win.
en480c4 Posted February 19, 2008 Author Report Posted February 19, 2008 I've heard mixed reports on how happy FOX is with its performance. I guess the ratings have been steadily declining each week, but it's still first in key demographics. So it will be interesting to see what they decide. I guess it's expensive as hell, which is why it may not get the benefit of the doubt.
tkam Posted February 19, 2008 Report Posted February 19, 2008 FYI there's apparently only 2 or 3 episodes left now not 4. But yeah I'm hearing the same thing Fox isn't happy with how the ratings have been declining since the first week especially for how high budget the show apparently is. I still hope they bring it back.
deepak Posted February 19, 2008 Report Posted February 19, 2008 I watched up to three and don't have much desire to watch the rest. I'm not sure what it is about it that I don't like, but I think "more show than go" is getting to me.
hadden Posted February 19, 2008 Report Posted February 19, 2008 I didn't like the last episode. I found it slow and repetitive, and the dialog not as good as before. Sort of flat and soap opera. I loved the first ones. Not sure what happened. I turned it off halfway through It seemed to be missing that tension and creepiness it had before.
Smeggy Posted February 19, 2008 Report Posted February 19, 2008 I think for me I hope it doesn't turn into cyborg fight of the week with nothing else interesting going on. Right now I can take it or leave it. I like Firefly more and they canned that.
Spiug31 Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 I'm looking forward to seeing this as it airs in the UK on satellite channel Virgin1 tonight at 10pm (GMT / UTC).
en480c4 Posted February 22, 2008 Author Report Posted February 22, 2008 I'd agree... It does continue to improve. And I was oficially shocked at the casting of Brian Austin Green! I was like what? But as long as Summer Glau is on it, I'll be there.
Smeggy Posted February 22, 2008 Report Posted February 22, 2008 But as long as Summer Glau is on it, I'll be there. Mmmm, Summer She's actually the reason we started watching it. She's so cute.
grawk Posted February 22, 2008 Report Posted February 22, 2008 Mmmm, Summer She's actually the reason we started watching it. She's so cute. And she keeps getting roles that require the emotional range of a lump of wood.
Smeggy Posted February 22, 2008 Report Posted February 22, 2008 And she keeps getting roles that require the emotional range of a lump of wood. I think she does 'deranged psycho' pretty well.
Spiug31 Posted February 22, 2008 Report Posted February 22, 2008 i would let her terminate me, if you know what i mean. shure, XLR or 1/4" I liked the production values of the first episode (nearly film-like ) but I'd have preferred more in-depth character development and a deeper plot line/back-story. I guess this will come with time.
tkam Posted February 22, 2008 Report Posted February 22, 2008 yeah i thought the last episode was really good, i just hope fox gives it a real chance before canning it.
Spiug31 Posted February 22, 2008 Report Posted February 22, 2008 what episode number is the last one you've seen ?
tkam Posted February 22, 2008 Report Posted February 22, 2008 Well I'm now hearing from at least one place that Fox already has picked it up for a 2nd season to air on January '09. Hope to hear an official announcement soon.
Spiug31 Posted February 22, 2008 Report Posted February 22, 2008 6. I'll watch it for the next wee while then see how it stacks up against the flash gordon series in march
