I have five episodes left.... so.. I'm still not sure what to think of it, the show is all over places and it has no real concept... the actors are except for Elizabeth Mitchell meh and I wish that Tracy Spiridakos would leave the show in the next season. I will continue watching it in the hope, that they kind of improve the acting, dialouges and the plot, it is still better than reality shows though

Sooo....After putting it off all summer, I finally decided to (finally) give this another shot. You can thank Netflix for this.
In any case, my reservations about the show from last year did carry over for a bit...It really did not have a good start. Charlie is simply not likable, and Danny would have been a better lead. Overall, it is pretty meh. Later on it becomes a lot more interesting, and the characters overall getting better.
In any case, it is far from a great show, but it is watchable and somewhat enjoyable.sigpic

Awesome. I missed the start of the Show and now I got the whole other half to watch!
Normally I would be angry, but with a show like this I find it better. The Story development just goes to slow for me. Cant wait to see whats in store, but guessing by the few comments I read before realising I am in Spoiler territory, its a mess. Cya when I got to the Season Finale.
Edit: Okay. So saw the Finale and not sure what to say about it. The Suspense was nice, but I did not like the whole Miles Monroe drama. At some point it didnt even seem to make much Sense.
As for the big Cliffhanger, it was a bit uninterresting. Fine the lights are back on and some Missiles got launched, but I am pretty sure they are going to do something about that. They could still reactivate the Nanites, though if that happens it is certain that they wont be able to turn them off again that time.
Sorry, I just love making guesses.Last edited by tomstone; 09 September 2013, 03:14 PM.

Oh the other thing I read was that the power

They'd better explain that one pretty sharpish, not to mention...
Spoiler:How they all got out a sealed bunker
I'll reserve judgement until the episode has actually aired, but if they go down theSpoiler:....three months later

Spoiler:Yes, they do turn the power back off.

Spoiler:How they all got out a sealed bunker
Spoiler:Well they probably went up the stairs and through the giant hole in the blast door....
I'll reserve judgement until the episode has actually aired, but if they go down theSpoiler:....three months laterSpoiler:From what I've seen/read the episode has a 'just after the finale' part and then a months later thing.
I don't see what is so wrong about that.I'VE GONE WIKI-MAD!!!!

Just finish watching the whole series.
An I am not sure I am mad or sad. This series is just ill thought out from the beginning, massive amount of plot holes, and they are just the ones I spotted, which means there probably even more that I missed.
But you know the thing that stuck with me is that these guys invented nano machines that could repair a broken leg in a few seconds, could grow a pair of lungs, cure cancer, this technology would be worth billions of dollars, and yet they ran to DOD for funding, you would have venture capitalist, every major corporation on the planet fighting over this and they went to the DOD. Not mind the case that they apparently they were developed to provide renewable, WTF.
Now I could quite easily imagine some smart dick in the DOD getting the smart idea of reprogramming the nanobots so that could be use to disable all electronics in a country, I could even imagine the DOD stealing the nanobots to do it, but these scientists sold the machines for that purpose instead of the countless other possibilities they have.
Then there Nora, where the hell did she her training in explosive, bomb disposal from, she was just a teenanger when the black out happen. Never mind that both miles and Monroe should look a lot older than they do.
Then there Maggie Foster that walk up and down the East coast for a way back to Britain, not only did they kill the only character that didn't kill conventionally means, guns and bows, we are also suppose to buy the idea that even when trade was establish with Europe that she wouldn't have bought her way there to find her children. Instead stuck with her boyfriend and kids.
Especially as it seems at least England must have not have suffered as much from the blackout, given that Georgia governor thought they had the resources to aid her in her war with Monroe republic. A war several thousand miles away. Which means that her kid would stand a good chance of being alive.
Plus you tend not just drop dead from blood loss, it tend to be a slow death, now every solder knows there blood type and miles is a o-, universal donor, surely even these idiots would be able to at least try to give her a blood transfusion.
An countless more. They better have pretty good explanation of why they decided to turn the power back off, and why they abandon the tower. And why would the patriots build identical 18th century sailings when our knowledge of the world have evolve quite a bit since then, for example, using kites instead of sails to power there vessels.
This could have been a great show, if they spent time on developing the concept and ideas and characters, an kill off that annoying little brats Charlie and Rachel, two of the most annoying characters on TV. An it seems season 2 will have a large dose of Rachel dealing with her daddy issues.Last edited by knowles2; 13 September 2013, 04:42 AM.

Then you have them work on a plan in the Tower using the Tower not insignificant resources and weapons to unite the nations of America, along with the Europeans and other powers to fight the patriots.
There first mission would be to make contact with the tribes that like cutting crosses on people throats to negotiate passage and protection for the tower. Having Monroe go off and unite whatever left of his and Georgia, and the rebels forces, slowly rediscovering his good nature.
Why the other spread across America on there own mission. Rachel and Charlie suffering early deaths, hey we stuck through a tonne of rubbish, the writers should reward us early in the season with their deaths, hopefully a brutal and slow death for Rachel, an a quick fast one for Charlie.
Aaron stays at the tower, repairing it, and exploring it and using its capabilities to help the others out when he can, researching the mysteries surrounding the blackout.
It better than the daddy issues and a spirit walk that the writers are offering us in season 2 so far.

Spoiler:I'm thinking the patriots idea is to move through the country getting individual towns to join with them promising to rebuild the US. They could say that the government knows how to get the country back up and running.I'VE GONE WIKI-MAD!!!!

An texas is full of bible bashers, whom I would bet have taken control, giving bible bashers any power is a bad idea in my book.
