I have really tried to hang in there with this show but it is boring the heck out of me. The storytelling is so....ponderous.

1. They need to get rid of half of the characters. There are too many of them, they aren't very interesting, and I don't care about what happens to them. The one character I did like - Pope - hasn't been around. Did they not learn anything from "Lost"?

2. Get rid of the kids! Sheesh! Or whittle it down to one kid. Again, did they not learn anything from "Lost"?

3. There is way to much exposition. So many of the "I'm proud of you, son" scenes go on way too long. That same message could be conveyed nonverbally, you know, with "acting".

4. There is absolutely no humor in this show. Sure they're in a tough situation, but that's when a little bit of black humor would go a long way. This show desperately needs a Wash-type character.

5. Have none of these people tried a can of Raid on the Skitters? A really big can of Raid? It seems so obvious.

Or maybe playing Yoko Ono music to them. That would sure kill me.

6. Hire some real writers!

I'm still watching. Sometimes the plot lags a bit and there are things that they leave unanswered. Like why doesn't Rick remember everyone while Ben does? And what's going on between Rick and his dad, they've not shown them talk to each other or anything since Rick was brought back. If the dad cared about Rick he'd try and spend time with him even though Rick doesn't remember him, come on people. Those are my main problems. I don't mind having lots of charactors, though it can be a little confusing at times, but as long as my dad watches it with me I can keep it straight and ask if I have a question. I still think that the Skitters aren't the real enemy, I think they've been sent in to clear things out for the big boys, an idea that someone had here and which my dad and I have attached ourselves to.

I kind of like the "I'm proud of you son" moments, they make me cry and feel emotional and family is one of the most important things in the world to me so I can identify with that stuff. But I do agree that they should move the plot forward a bit faster, have more action scenes. I like the idea that the Skitters use the harnessed kids as conduites to speak through, creepy and effective.

Meh, I couldn't even get through the pilot episode. I expected more with Spielberg being involved (I was hoping for something at least as good as "Taken"), and I was sorely disappointed.

I'm so glad I bailed out early, because it sounds like it hasn't gotten a bit better.

The show would benefit from writers trained in the Whedonverse.

Yeah, same mistake as TTSCC -- no dark humor. Depression and apathy -- that's the point of predictive programming psyop to overthrow USA for the jew banksters of the private foreign "Federal" Reserve Bank. As Tokyo Rose said, "Lay Down G.I."

Latest epp: Gullible Libtard suckered by treasonous scumbag. Saw that one coming. Writers are telegraphing their punches... probably have to for the fluoridated public. BTW fluoride is the equivalent of those back sucker thingies, according to Obama's Science Czar:

Quote:

"The Planetary Regime might be given responsibility for determining the optimum population for the world and for each region and for arbitrating various countries' shares within their regional limits. Control of population size might remain the responsibility of each government, but the Regime would have some power to enforce the agreed limits. Adding a sterilant to drinking water or staple foods is a suggestion that seems to horrify people more than most proposals for involuntary fertility control. Indeed, this would pose some very difficult political, legal, and social questions, to say nothing of the technical problems. No such sterilant exists today, nor does one appear to be under development. To be acceptable, such a substance would have to meet some rather stiff requirements: it must be uniformly effective, despite widely varying doses received by individuals, and despite varying degrees of fertility and sensitivity among individuals; it must be free of dangerous or unpleasant side effects; and it must have no effect on members of the opposite sex, children, old people, pets, or livestock. A program of sterilizing women after their second or third child, despite the relatively greater difficulty of the operation than vasectomy, might be easier to implement than trying to sterilize men. The development of a long-term sterilizing capsule that could be implanted under the skin and removed when pregnancy is desired opens additional possibilities for coercive fertility control. The capsule could be implanted at puberty and might be removable, with official permission, for a limited number of births. Indeed, it has been concluded that compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society. One way to carry out this disapproval might be to insist that all illegitimate babies be put up for adoption—especially those born to minors, who generally are not capable of caring properly for a child alone. If a single mother really wished to keep her baby, she might be obliged to go through adoption proceedings and demonstrate her ability to support and care for it. Adoption proceedings probably should remain more difficult for single people than for married couples, in recognition of the relative difficulty of raising children alone. It would even be possible to require pregnant single women to marry or have abortions, perhaps as an alternative to placement for adoption, depending on the society. In today's world, however, the number of children in a family is a matter of profound public concern. The law regulates other highly personal matters. For example, no one may lawfully have more than one spouse at a time. Why should the law not be able to prevent a person from having more than two children? If this could be accomplished, security might be provided by an armed international organization, a global analogue of a police force. Many people have recognized this as a goal, but the way to reach it remains obscure in a world where factionalism seems, if anything, to be increasing. The first step necessarily involves partial surrender of sovereignty to an international organization."
-Dr John P Holdren PhD, Obama Science Czar, from his book Ecoscience

From Major Jordan's Diaries - "America sent rat poison to Stalin's Siberian prisoners, via Lend-Lease: Communist Russia's use of sodium fluoride during World War II was entered into the Congressional Record in the early 1950's. USAF Major George R. Jordan testified before Un-American Activity committees of Congress that he had been stationed in Great Falls, Montana during the war as a U.S.-Soviet liaison officer. Major Jordan stated that one of his tasks had been to procure "vast quantities" of sodium fluoride for shipment to Siberia via numerous Lend-Lease airplanes which we were sending to Russia from Montana, via Canada and Alaska. 7,926 airplanes were sent to Russia via this route. Major Jordan testified that the Russians openly admitted to "using the fluoride in the water supplies in their concentration camps, to make the prisoners stupid, docile, and subservient."
