So has this series improved? I watched the first four episodes, but they seems to get slower and more convoluted - less about the electricity and more about the 'personal' stories. Has it improved since?

yeah after the pilot I gave up but then went back and was pleased I did, it gets alot better

I've been catching up on this show in the last week and I think the pacing of it is fine. I'm only on the fourth episode but I think it's fine they haven't talked to much about why the power went out yet. They can't show all their cards in the first half of the season.

I'm sorry I've lost total interest in this show, for one I can't comprehend that they can't or don't know how to get electricity back, since there is nothing really preventing electricity

from being restored, because the pendants can create power, also how can an ECM stop the simple power of an older engine, that has no electronic ignition.

also there have been so many chances for certain characters to be killed by their enemies or prisoners and yet it never happens.

Is there anything worth watching in this series? Any sci-fi stuff? Trying to find electricity doesn't sound too exciting...

I watched the pilot, and was terribly unimpressed... Figured the only thing worth watching was Tracy Spiridakos?

I was a huge lost fan, and watched fringe as well... surprisingly disappointed with the pilot.

I feel like JJ Abrams' ideas are just going to waste. He comes up with a great concept, then whoever takes over just wastes its potential. I loved Alias, Lost and Fringe. I was really exited when Undercovers, Alcatraz and Revolution where announced, then after actually watching them I lost interest. I'm still keeping up with Revolution, but so far it's moving along pretty slowly.

Did you miss Maggie's death?

Also, the power IS blocked from being turned on. They said that already. Even people that knew how to do it couldn't do it. The pendants do something to counteract it.

where are they at the end of the recent episode?

I think its wherever the source of the power outage came from - and where the remnants of the US govt is. Actual physical location? No idea.

Preview spoiler:

The 'thing' they were inside seemed to be a big version of what Rachel was building in the preview of the next episode - something to turn the power on with all the pendants.

Also: I don't think this one is getting cancelled. They've been winning the timeslot, so I think they get another year. I hope.

I would think someone is in charge down there. It couldn't really (by the Constitution) be the same Pres, because its been 15 years, so he'd be ineligible.

It brings up a question though - why the hell would the govt turn the power off in the first place?

Honestly, I think that part of the constitution would have been thrown out the window when the sh*t hit the fan.

So Myles finally meets Monroe!

Yep, I think it's a giant version of the "amplifier" Rachel was building. Certainly looked like it anyway.

They probably wanted to weaponize it but it got way out of hand or something.

I need to stop reading this as i cant watch the episode till the day after you american guys lol

Really enjoying this show

I wonder why the pendant seems to work at certain times

and it always worked when he was emotional

i.e. when he was ranting in the house, when he was scared of being found in the lighthouse

Does it show in the UK? I haven't found it anywhere here. Maybe on Sky Atlantic or Living?

Interesting point, it could see it working out quite well.

Had high hopes for this but after struggling (and I mean struggling) to watch the first three episodes, all I can say is that this show is unbelievably dull.

It's like Jericho whith none of the positive attributes. I'd be astonished if this gets to three seasons. I'm already surprised it's made it to eight episodes.

      Lol are you mad because I'm not using AI? I'd rather pay people than lose a bunch of potential customers and get humilated because I used AI. A lot of people won't purchase a game if it used AI during development.
    • LibreWolf 152.0-1

      LibreWolf 152.0-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. LibreWolf 152.0-1 changelog: Upstream release, see the Firefox 152.0 Release Notes Notable changes: The AppImages are now built on Codeberg along with the other releases We have decided to wait a bit longer to enable the settings redesign, due to use being aware of multiple upstream issues Download: LibreWolf 64-bit | Portable 64-bit | ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Download: ARM64 | Portable ARM64 Links: LibreWolf Home Page | Addons | Screenshot | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
