But after the Flood, the first season really jumped with the cast bloat of all those Potential Pariarchs (Almo'dad, Sheleph, Ha'zar–ma'veth, Hador'am, Uzal, Diklah,) who just clutttered up the cast and took time away from the core cast.
And what was the idea of having them just talk about the Tower of Babel, instead of showing it. Yeah cheaper, but if would have been the only major F/X between the Flood and The Parting of the Red Sea (and we never saw it!)
I heard they had to cut the effects budget to get renewed. Tromping through the wilderness for several weeks only required going out to that dry lake bed near San Berdoo.
It sucked how my favourite Potential Patriarch Almo'dad got killed in the finale.
But didn't Christopher Lee make a great Elijah? Smiting and cursing and fleeing and all that.
Then there is the whole "Unicorn got left behind by Noah" retcon.
LOL! Did y'all get that "Almo'dad" sounds a bit like Amanda?
That "Slice-of-Life on the Ark" episode, where they followed the day to day goings on of the tit mice and their ad hoc 'small furry animal council' was one of my favorites. Very little dialogue but who needed it? Very well done, does anybody know who wrote it?
The PTC have objected to the use of word "tit mouse." Particularly the scene in which Noah's teenage sons discuss how they like touching the tit mouse because it's fun to touch the tit mouse and then giggle for fifteen minutes.
Is that why they never re-run it?
You know, the show has had some great episode ending cliffhangers through out(my personal favorite was Eve contemplating about the apple)... but I have seen the spoilers for this week's episode the Season 124(124x22) finale and know that we are getting a huge finale cliffhanger. For those of you wondering what happens I will just tell you that Mary ends up in a stable(or manger type building) with animals and strange men with a great amount of explaining to do. Especially when her husband Joseph finds out that her baby belongs to another man and not his. Sweeps month this season has been on big surprise after another
I am sure that when they write the Season 125 premiere that they will have some lame excuse about how this was even possible and we will all buy it....
