me nakanood na ba ng pilot nito?

It's from the guy who also did Lost.

Deal breaker

i struggled to finish the pilot last night. it was too boring and uninteresting.

I personally thought it was very interesting.

Not sure where it's going, though.

the_w0rks · « **Reply #7 on:** Jul 03, 2014 at 02:27 AM »

It is interesting but the first episode seemed convoluted. Too many things going on for me. But I guess since it's the pilot episode, firing shots at different directions can be forgiven. Just hope it hones in on specific storylines though.

Got a decent score at Metacritic, 66/100.

How is episode 2? I would like to get the general consensus first before trying this show.

Mr. Hankey · « **Reply #10 on:** Jul 09, 2014 at 09:55 AM »

More or less the same, but easier to watch, since you're familiar with the characters/storylines already.

Verbl Kint · « **Reply #11 on:** Jul 12, 2014 at 04:54 PM »

Critics say the third episode is the one to watch as the series is supposed to gain momentum from there.

Mr. Hankey · « **Reply #12 on:** Jul 14, 2014 at 09:57 PM »

Nice one. Good to see the focus on a more dynamic and interesting character for a change.

AshKetchum · « **Reply #13 on:** Aug 03, 2014 at 09:57 AM »

3 episodes in and I'm done--this show is so f**king depressing that it will suck the life out of anyone who watches it. The characters are highly unlikeable, including the rage-filled, dog-shooting lead character. Not recommended viewing for those who are feeling down, as watching this will probably make them commit suicide.

Too bad. The cold opening of Episode 5 would've left you with your jaw hanging.

Heard about Gladys, and wow, more graphic violence and cruelty to brighten my day--imagine that? I'm "glad" I pulled out.

Haha that stone throwing opening was so sick. I hate that Im still trying to watch this just to see how it ends.

Mr. Hankey · « **Reply #17 on:** Aug 03, 2014 at 05:32 PM »

Color me sick, but that cold opening was the very first time I smiled this entire season. I only wish they'd done the same to more of those idiotic cult members.

They should be using magic slates or whiteboards instead of paper.

Haha I hate their weird ways. Surely they have valid reasons for being so weird?

Hopefully their reason for being will be revealed soon coz my patience is wearing thin for this show.

You might be in for a long wait...that hack Lindelof wrote this show, and it's probably his revenge for the collective hate he earned for the ending of Lost and the script of Prometheus, LOL

Yep. Seems like it. Yet another episode went by and still no answers. Haha

I guess this isnt a show about answering the mystery, rather, merely showing what effect that mysterious event has on the people.

Verbl Kint · « **Reply #22 on:** Aug 06, 2014 at 09:28 PM »

I did like the Nora, episode, though. Had a bit of a fun element to it which, for the most part, had been missing from the series.

coastal · « **Reply #23 on:** Aug 10, 2014 at 11:44 AM »

Thank God for the ff button! This is getting to be a vignette of depression and despair.

These two and Carrie Coon (what a milf!ganda ng katawan sa ep.7) are the only reasons I am still watching. Haha pero medjo wala talagang sense tong palabas na to

coastal · « **Reply #28 on:** Aug 19, 2014 at 09:10 AM »

Why do I keep forcing myself to watch this!?!

the_w0rks · « **Reply #29 on:** Aug 19, 2014 at 09:37 AM »

baka wala lang magawa na iba?

pinilit ko lang din idownload kahapon since my pc wasn't downloading anything else. Tapusin ko lang talaga tong season na 'to. Gusto ko abangan kung may nude scenes pa si Nora. haha
