I don't think it's the show for me.Josie Kafkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892717530356699008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-1250260526473671192014-08-31T08:19:36.554-04:002014-08-31T08:19:36.554-04:00No steady reviewing is going on!

The gloomy, mysterious vibe keeps me coming back. <br /><br />Josie: maybe you're working on the reviews of all the episodes at the moment? One can only hope ;)kthxbyenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-32273426743672511062014-08-03T05:42:54.843-04:002014-08-03T05:42:54.843-04:00I just saw the fourth episode and it just keeps ge...I just saw the fourth episode and it just keeps getting better and better. For me it's some of the best TV out there.

Unlike Anthony Head who sounds bizarre as a non-brit in Dominion. The bleakness of the episode worked for Eccelston's skill at portraying inner turmoil. That said, I think I'm out now. The show is just not for me. I don't mind slowness, but I get no sense that there's a journey that's worth taking.

It's something new. Something better. So far, this series is shaping up to be one of the great ones. However, this episode almost demands that the quality bar be rose. I don't know what Lindelof, Perrotta, and the writers have in store for us next but I can't imagine it coming close to quality like this, though I'd love to be proved wrong. I predict that when all is said and done, whether the show lasts one season or five, that we will all look back on this episode as one of the series high-points. You compared this episode to the great "Lost" episode "Walkabout". The comparison is earned! Both take a supporting character and shine the spotlight on them so bright that they threaten to overshadow everyone and everything else we've seen. I hope that's not the case, since I'm still extremely curious about the other plots the writers have been setting up. When it comes down to it I just hope they have something worthy at the end. Otherwise, to quote Matt, "all of our suffering will be meaningless."<br /><br />I LOVED the Pilot episode and thought the second was great as well. I really hope you continue to review this series or find someone else to do so. I love Billy's site and everyone's reviews and I was really looking forward to reading some thoughts on the second outing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08847770860459771551noreply@blogger.com
