Ep13?

I watched S1 Ep12 this morning, it's the one where Kelly becomes a God.
It wrapped up the relationship pretty well.

Original production codes have that as S01E13 (1LAB13), with tonights as 1LAB12.

From wikipedia entry:



(Sorry - sci-fi tv brings out my OCD nerd)

Ah I see what you mean now.
So they deferred what should have originally been E12 to this season and that made E13 into E12 by broadcast date.

Thought the latest was a bit underwhelming.

Yes, agreed, probably weakest episode to date - shouldn't have bothered adding it to this series, nowhere near as good as S02E01.

Let's hope that is the low point for the season over and done early on.

Back last night on Fox uk.

I see the ratings are low in the us. I’ll be disappointed if it’s cancelled. If that happens, which fox have a habit of doing, there’s a good chance of being picked up by Netflix.

Ep3 much better. The daft re-use of discarded, poor S1E12 last week as Ep2 was not a good decision.

Only watching this on the UK schedule but I enjoyed having it back on last night

Thought it was a solid series two opener, looking forward to the next.

Love seeing other sci-fi actors in different series. 2 different doctors from Star trek in that one.

Which 2?

Robert Picardo (Voyager) and the one from Enterprise.

Not seen Robert yet. I’d have recognised him. Never saw enterprise.

In episode 3 of this series, not been shown in UK yet, so only if you've seen it via alternative viewing arrangements. He's credited at beginning, and instantly recognisable, so definitely in it.

He was in S1/E10 as Alara's dad.

Forgot that, sorry. Thanks.

I really want to like this but I find it just misses the mark across the board really. The dialogue is stilted, the acting wooden, the timing is off, the music doesn't work, the relationships are awkward, the list goes on and on.

Seth has a lot of credit in the bank but can't see this making series three at this rate.

Enjoyed the first episode of season 2

Be interesting to see how Tyler develops, seeing as the actress also played the Krill in the episode (the one who survived with the kids). Wondering if she’s undercover to get revenge

I thought it was a good season opener, A wee bit of every chracter to remind us of them. The driveby was funny.

Really enjoyed S2E1.
