I mainly think it's funny that he thinks The 4400 is a challenging and complicated show.
I mean, I watch it, and I enjoy it, but it's like genre comfort food. I enjoy it because being an X-Files fan was extremely stressful, and it's nice to watch a show that's in that same vein but that requires no real thought or emotional investment.
It's true -- it has its mysteries, but there's no need to feel compelled, as a viewer, to solve them. I never thought we had enough clues to bother working at it.
It's been...good, with one or two high points -- the episode with the
reality all in the chick's head
was great, I thought, and had excellent emotional through lines.
Eh. I really didn't like that episode. I got the idea, but the execution felt off to me.
I do like the show more than I thought I would, though. It's interesting and fun. But not horribly challenging and complex. I mean, it has an arc, and if that's too challenging for you, then...oops.
I thought it was very sweet. It's the only episode I've bothered to save on the TiVo.
Yeah, there were other people who liked it too. Me, I just couldn't past the ludicrousness of seeing the
"EIGHT YEARS LATER"
card. Although I do like what they did with that in the last episode, where
Alana had trouble keeping her realities straight.
I was hooked during season one, but this season fell short of my expectations. The tension does seem to be building up to a fairly decent finale though.
the episode with the [spoiler omitted] was great, I thought, and had excellent emotional through lines.
That was a really great ep.
Anyone here caught the new Battlestar? It is really good.
Lotsa people have. Discussion happens in the Boxed Set thread.
