Anyone watching?

OP posts:
glenthebattleostrich · 29/03/2013 22:02

Yeah, watched the first one. Has promise.

Just about to start on the second ep.

GlaikitHasHerFizzBack · 29/03/2013 22:05

Me too. I worry that this is going to be another lost. Six years of my life that took and I worked it all out in the first episode.

Machli · 29/03/2013 22:36

I'm watching. Really liked the first episode. Big fan of Billy Burke as well.

ThreeBeeOneGee · 29/03/2013 22:39

There's another thread going about this too. I'm liking it so far.

thaliablogs · 29/03/2013 23:20

Was not that keen til last 5 mins of Ep 1. All a bit predictable til then. Very lost-like. Looks promising after that.

Itsaboatjack · 29/03/2013 23:27

Wasn't going to watch as Lost ended up being total rubbish, but have found myself drawn in all the same. Ok so far.

I never watched lost - quite glad as apparently it was a crap ending that didn't make any sense

Not sure of this but will try and watch 2nd episode over the weekend

I'm catching up now - just at the bit where she's off on her own.

I will probably watch it regardless of whether or not it's rubbish, but I've got my fingers crossed for it to be good Grin

TwllBach · 30/03/2013 21:54

Oh it's the man - the handsome man! Billy Burke?
And is Monroe the Australian bloke from ER? I think he is.

Iwantmybed · 30/03/2013 22:06

Hmm I'm not sure about it tbh. It didn't grab me as Lost but don't think I'll stick with it.

2nd episode seemed better

I can't work out how a pendant with a chip/computer thing in it can store electricity

I will carry on because of that one from ER ! But it's going to turn out crap isn't it!

TwllBach · 01/04/2013 08:02

I already think it's crap but won't admit it yet.

GhostOfTheRobot · 01/04/2013 10:13

Think it will go the way of Lost and take you on a wild goose chase with a nonsense ending.
However I'm still bloody watching it...Confused

The fact his wife is alive and with the baddie must mean something

I'm intrigued by this series

Just hope it had a proper ending

MyMamaToldMe · 02/04/2013 12:21

I'm watching, but not really sure about it yet. My half formed opinion based on Ep 1 & 2 was that it was a little crap, but will watch more to form a better opinion.

Iwantmybed · 02/04/2013 21:48

Cancelled series link. Episode 2 didn't intrigue me further. Shame as I love those big budget dramas. Sad such high hopes, such poor delivery. For me it was a mix of poor actors and characters and poor writing which left it utterly anti climactic. There wasn't a single online review which raved positively. I loved Lost and Heroes, but it felt emotionless. I really hope it improves and I'm proved completely wrong.

WireCatWhore · 02/04/2013 23:58

They were all very well turned out considering there had been no electricity for 15 odd years!

I'm assuming they washed their clothes via a river and soap - like in the olden days

Though did wonder how clothes looked so well made. No sewing machines or factories making clothes

I'm watching but I'm disappointed so far, its too smooth, everyone's too clean, it's all fight scenes no real emotions, no one seems to be grieving for the father that's just been killed, not a patch on the walking dead sadly, but in the absence of anything else I will struggle onSmile

Blondeshavemorefun · 04/04/2013 15:25

Hoping esp 3 will be a little better its got the feel of Jerchio ref the person typing to a unkown fell out with Jericho so hope this is ok

IShallWearMidnight · 04/04/2013 16:07

I watched eps 1 and 2 last night, and although I'll watch it more, I'm not sure of I actually like it or not. Some of the stuff really annoys me (where do the clothes come from? Why are their teeth so perfect? How did they know how to get to Chicago? Why is it not more overgrown after 15 years? Why do the baddies only come at the good guys one at a time, unless they're doing a set piece fight?).

But I'm an intrigued as to who and why re the power going off, and General Monroe is pretty easy on the eye Blush. Also where does the computer woman get her power from? And why did the mum leave her family thinking she was dead?

TwllBach · 04/04/2013 17:24

With regards to things still being ordered and in good condition etc - could it be because of the nature of the black out? In TWD, lots of people were killed, if you survived, you were (un?)lucky, so all the skilled people, farmers, doctors, builders, tailors, seamstresses were dead and if you were alive then you are more concerned with staying alive than mowing the lawn/making clothes etc.

With revolution, everyone was still alive. I'm sure there was a bit of looting, a bit of anarchy etc, but there were still people in charge and still a functionin army to control everything. I would think that people would be quite eager to keep a sense of normality as well, so happy to be assigned jobs like keep nature at bay and make clothes and farm, so society remained similar to Before - just without power.

I'm still disappointed with it. I was hoping for more grit and emotional realism IYSWIM.

susiedaisy · 04/04/2013 19:06

Good point twi didn't think of it like that!
