There's so much stupidity/unprofessionalism from the characters to move the plot forward, when better writing could have done the trick. I plan to keep watching, but now I'm all "meh", when I wanted to be "squeeeeee".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-14363324891640277222014-02-19T15:56:01.201-05:002014-02-19T15:56:01.201-05:00Channel 5 gave up on it after a few episodes.

I've seen a lot worse.Teresa xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10975753975160079739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-53597596133924533012014-02-01T04:49:17.535-05:002014-02-01T04:49:17.535-05:00I'd been looking forward to this but was very ...I'd been looking forward to this but was very disappointed and don't think it will be one I'll be continuing with, although I may punish myself with one more episode.<br /><br />What really bothered me was the unprofessional behavior of all these scientists. These are people who must be familiar with quarantine etc so the victims of Alan's attack being quarantined, together in a room when one of their members was clearly showing symptoms of infection is quite ridiculous - no wonder the others were pissed off. It seems incredibly unlikely that such a facility would not have better facilities to deal with an outbreak. That is only one example, the scientists seemed to be consistently stupid throughout.<br /><br />Also, where was that guy going on the skidoo and why did the military guy bother stabbing him? I don't think he was going to get very far (in an arctic blizzard jacket open, no hat)... don't they have a satellite phone on the facility or was he going somewhere where he could get a signal? Or was he actually supposed to be driving to the nearest settlement?...very silly.<br /><br />Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08348075897600518734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-18563211455185995682014-01-17T10:31:35.424-05:002014-01-17T10:31:35.424-05:00I completely agree with your review, Doc.

I thought the secondary characters and some of the dialogue were just dire.<br /><br />This one is not for me.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-18759588871137336962014-01-16T05:56:00.797-05:002014-01-16T05:56:00.797-05:00I thought it was interesting and enjoyable.

I fell in love with Doreen almost instantly (about the time she used "frakking" in a sentence) - though I was half-expecting her to die (plus sized women usually die quickly on TV)... So I'm glad they didn't kill her off! :) Other characters were well written too - the Japanese scientist boss (forgot his name) was suitably creepy, and the love triangle seemed interesting enough.<br />All in all, the pilot had me intrigued, and I can't wait to see where they'll be going with the series. I don't watch many shows, but I'm certaily adding this one to my watchlist!Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18331684573084342712noreply@blogger.com
