can you explain it to me? I was left wondering that as well!
I won't promise I would have turned it off if Day hadn't been in it. I love werewolf fighting.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

I am unsure how I feel about this random First People development. I mean, alternate universes weren't enough?
I'm into it; it's weird. I know that as a JJ Abrams product it will probably lead to nothing sensical, but I've been waiting for them to show up ever since they started having "First People" in the list of stuff in the opening (which I think it only is on the Red Side?).
And I can't wait for the Olivia/Faux-livia throw-down. I am especially wondering if Faux-livia is going to go off the reservation; she seems to be developing sympathy toward our world.

I'll watch pretty much anything with werewolves in it, so I probably would have stuck around until the end even if Kavan Smith hadn't been the male lead. But as I said on TwoP, I'd really like to see that movie remade with the same cast and maybe the same premise, if not full script, but about 5x the budget, Greg Cannom doing practical creature effects instead of their video game-esque CGI, and Todd Holland directing.
One thing I'll actually give them kudos for (though it may be a matter of Felicia Day having to do her own stunts because they couldn't afford stunt doubles), the fight scenes where Red was hand-to-hand with werewolves actually seemed realistic. She was getting thrown around by stronger opponents, didn't recover instantly, and her wins looked like they came from skill and craftiness rather than her being some Xena-esque figure who could defy physics.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
From io9, a vaguely spoilery (in the sense of "something we're probably not going to do") quote from Steven Moffat (Doctor Who show-runner and producer):
In the old series, they did off a couple of [companions]. I'm not saying we'll never do it, but it's not that kind of a show. It's not gritty. It's kind of a lovely, life-affirming, optimistic show without a cynical bone in its body. It's almost odd when you see it in competition with things like Battlestar Galactica, and you think, Well that's not us at all. We're the story of a wonderful man from space who can travel in a telephone box! But I'm not guaranteeing I won't kill someone in the future!
I've included this because he mentions BSG, so this sorta' fits with our recent discussion.
Link has more spoilers for Who and other shows/movies....

I completely forgot about Red. If anyone else is interested, it seems to be rerunning on December 18.
