How could a show I loved so much go downhill so fast? It’s as if they fired the first season writers and hired the genius who masterminded the evisceration of _Beauty and the Beast_. I was strangely purturbed by the first season finale, and now the second season has gotten worse. For me it’s gone from “must watch” to “not worth taping” status. Does anyone else feel this way? ---

Nope. Still good in my book. (And Alec’s actions last episode were more morally complex than anything we saw in teh first season.) –Cliffy ---

Um…mutants? I think it’s running out of ideas now. ---

You must have missed my first post on this earlier. I totally agree that it’s going downhill… the whome mutants thing sucks, the lame-ass “virus coded only to logan” is lame… in fact i can barely stonach the show… And you just know Max will end up with Alec and Logan will end up with blonde chicky (Asha?) and then they will get back together again… And the whole 500 year old brazilian cave painting thing with the mutant babies? It’s turning into Beauty and the Beast meets x files meets melrose place. God i hope it gets better soon. ---

On an entirely different note: Jessica Alba is hot. ---

Jessica Alba is cute but she needs an ass.
