Why is the second episode just a repeat of the first?

Now I have had one eye on the laptop all evening, but it wasn't that good was it?

22 episodes in this 1st series should keep you going, BOF!

Well I thought it was excellent, I haven't really got into a series in a while like this, so I was already looking forward to it. And luckily, it didn't disappoint, these first two episodes really seem to set up the whole series, probably with many more twists and turns to come.

I think I shall be a dedicated viewer Grin

Thanks wingdad had been wondering about all those things also....and why the jet engines didn't blow his jeep off the runway when he was behind it.

The second episode redeemed it I think....I probably wouldn't have tuned in a week later after seeing just the first. Fingers crossed it delivers for the next 22 episodes!

See you all next week [hsmile]

I liked it (although did lol at the bloke driving alongside the plane).

Am still more excited about the second series of Misfits that was trailed during the show, though!

I was a bit bothered by the mysterious wind before the weirdness started.

But it seems really good. On episode two now.

Cancel all social engagements on Friday nights for the forseeable, then Grin

Well, we've all been bothered by mysterious wind before, BoF.

I for one spent the first eposiode thinking 'What the hell is going on"[hblush] . I was so confused by the first hour , I became convinced I must of miss the vital part which would explain it. I deciided i'll watch the 2nd hour on 4OD, so I could re-watch the first half, where,hopefully, I could get my head round the story line!

aDarkstar... I am really excited about second series of MisFits as the frist one was brilliant ! It really was one of the best on TV for a long time.Saw a trailer for 2nd misfits today, its back in Nov. Yay! [hgrin]

Enjoyed it but:

22 episodes, on no, means they'll make up new twists/false endings as they go along. Why can't they just have an ending decided from start and finish after one season.

Yes I watched the first one and we have the second to watch tonight. Also Hmm at car driving alongside plane, and irritated by the "8 hours earlier", "3 days earlier" JUST PLAY IT IN ORDER
also I fell asleep right at the end and missed the best bit!
Other than that I enjoyed it :o

I watched the first one and started on the second one ..got boed and confused and switched to FX and watched Dexter instead which was so much better.


It was like a spoof of Lost,Flash Forward and the XFiles all rolled into one Hmm.
