Okay, I’ve been hearing about this show for a while. Finally got around to watching it.
OMG, that sucks pondwater. I know that TV scriptwriters have room temperature IQs for the most part, but I think this show hired writers rejected by other stupid shows. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a TV show that frickin’ stupid.
Anyone else watching it? What do you think of it?
already some discussion on it.
Well, no reason we can’t re-evaluate it now 6+ months later!
I still watch it because I like to dislike it. The “we are emotionally different” stuff is sooooooo awful. So bad. OMG it is bad.
I haven’t seen much of the XMen stuff. Is XMen like this? Every 20 minutes or so there has to be a pouty “But we’re mutants…” break.
I think the plots keep getting more ridiculous each week too.
This show is so bad it makes BONES look positively brilliant.
We continue to watch it so I have something to yell at - its the WWE of scripted entertainment.
Actually the first few epis werent bad. But then they started regularly putting the team in harms way and doing action hero stuff. And the romance- ech.
I was a semi-defender of the show in its early weeks. I will readily admit the show was stupid but I hoped it would be entertaining. However the entertainment has worn thin while the stupidity has remained strong.
I love the way they get some of the tech so desperately wrong “The files were in a hidden partition in the RAM” and the physics (blood transfusion via 30 feet of plastic tube going down a tunnel, but no problem with pressure).
And the opening title "based on the life of Walter O’Brien’. I’d never heard of him until the show, so I was expecting the real-life Walter to be a modern-day Sherlock type or something. He’s just some guy who wrote a couple of bits of interesting software.
Not only that but compare the pics of
Very “Mary Sue” and also dubious:
I have really enjoyed eighteen of the the twenty episodes I’ve seen, and the other two were not offensively bad, to my palate. But, then again, I don’t particularly value realism in the shows I watch, so there are a lot of things that may drive other viewers crazy, that don’t bother me at all, and that I may not even notice.
