was it just a continuity error or had Erica & Father Jack lost their lizzard test scaring?
I know we never saw the test but it was implied they went through it.Comment

Continuity error I suppose, but when you think about it, it's a pretty stupid way to test people, all the V's would have to do is look at your neck to know you're a rebel.Originally posted by Ian-S View Post
I'm enjoying the show to a degree so far, but I can't help wonder how much interest I'd have if Elizabeth Mitchell wasn't in it, I think I mirror a lot of people when I say I could really do without her son's storyline and the jittery priest. The traitor storyline is interesting though, and I do wonder where they're going with journalist, so maybe there's hope yet. Now if only they can sort that pacing out...Comment

And what did the Terminator series start out with? 18.3 million viewers. Episode 2 had 10 million, and by the start of the second season they were down to something like 6 million (ending in about 3 million). Look at all the other shows, fact is 1.) Ratings drop and 2.) Scifi/genre just do NOT succeed at all on primetime broadcast TV. Especially not in this day and age when it can be canceled for Auto Repair with the Stars. Only reason shows like Stargate and BSG could survive was because they are on cable and not broadcast. Lost, is an exception only because they put in so many elements to draw non Scifi viewers (that is if this show even is Scifi?). And X-Files was a fluke because FOX allowed it a lot of room to grow as they themselves were a new network with little to no original programming. X-Files soon gave FOX an identity which allowed them to grow. My point is that you can hope and wish all you want, the past few decades tells us how things will end up.Originally posted by leiasky View Post
I understand you are being positive, I just have to be a realist. I long since have given up on watching Scifi type shows on broadcast as it is almost a guarantee that I will have the rug pulled out from under me. There is nothing I despise more than having a series canceled with an open ending/ cliffhanger. Hell, you still get that with cable shows (remember Farscape's season 4 ending anyone?). My whole complaint boils down to this, why would this have been pitched to ABC? Fine and dandy if ABC wants to come out and say they will fully support this show, and guarantee that if the ratings fall there will be a conclusion.Originally posted by leiasky View Post
Just how many times do the viewers have to get screwed over before people take a stand? I would like more people to get vocal towards these networks and how they present these shows. At the very least I hope for everyone's sake that ABC would do what they did with Life on Mars which was very respectable. Knowing they were not going to renew, they told the producers at the earliest moment to allow them to have a true finale. At the very least people should let their voices be known that ABC should give some kind of assurance or guarantee that you won't get screwed on this show.Comment

So...you're just here to rain on the parade? I'm guessing you aren't planning on watching it what with having given up, so you're just spreading nihilism around for the heck of it?I understand you are being positive, I just have to be a realist.

In any case, I'm pretty sure that inevitable failure of all you hold dear isn't really on topic. And perhaps we can let the show get more than two episodes out before we focus on the existential angst that is inevitable cancellation.

The whole, we come in peace, always. Line is giving me the craps. It's just too corny for modern day, how friggen gullible can people be. Maybe 20 years ago or something, but with all these scams and white collar crime, it just sounds too corny, the aliens have not done their homework.Comment

If you're a "realist" and don't watch "broadcast" scifi shows...then why are you here commenting on it? Me thinks someone just likes to stir the crapper.Originally posted by SBN View Post
I love your response to SBN. IDK why people can't be positive instead of giving us this "I'm a realist" line. There's a difference between being a realist and being negative.Originally posted by amconway View Post
