The Walking Dead, Revolution, Falling Skies are still going.

 

 

HA,    a day before the cancelled.     Revolution had terrible script and acting.   I watched first 6-7 episodes.  Before I gave up, on my eyes bleeding.  Seriously wanted to like the show too :(

 

 

 

 

so this new one:     its about a virus?   hmmmm...  I will wait for feedback after at least 3-4 episodes,   since I think it will be cancelled soon too.

First half was slow but the last half on the Italian liner was really good

Pace wasn't my problem. It was the plot contrivances, the clich?s and the bad acting. The Russians attack with 5 helicopters but they fail to kill anyone and teleporting dog saves the day for example or the black guy conveniently tripping (I kinda zoned out during these scenes), gets infected and blows his brains out instantly "for the greater good". Also, why is the handling of a global pandemic a covert op in the hands of two people?

 

I wanted to watch this for Adam Baldwin, but I just can't.

I agree, I wanted to like this show, but these exact reasons have killed it for me.

 

To be fair about sending two people, they did address that atleast

The government didn't believe their theory and they didn't want to waste more resources on her wild goose chase.  Plus the guy scientist looks like he is a spy/conspirator of some sort. :/  Which puts another mark in the lame/clich? category.

Indeed they did, but it wasn't in any way satisfying. There's a very infectious virus that kills everyone very fast and you're telling me the world's super powers don't combine their efforts and explore every possible avenue for a cure? Also what the two scientists are doing isn't some some mad scientist's notion. I would imagine that trying to find the virus' origin and studying it's carriers (and how to stop them) would be up there as a priority. We're talking about an extinction scenario here!

Not sure how much I like that they changed the basics of the story from the novel. In the novel, for those who don't know, it is a nuclear war that occurs between the USA and USSR (and other regional nuke battles as well) and the ships journey trying to find a safe harbor to start humanity over etc.

      I bought this game. Played it for an hour, and then got a refund from Steam. Not a fun game at all.

    • Microsoft Eyes DeepSeek V4 for Copilot Cowork: What Azure Hosting Cannot Fix

      Microsoft officially launched its Copilot Cowork enterprise AI agent on June 16, 2026, switching to usage-based pricing on the same day it disclosed it is considering a Microsoft-hosted version of China's DeepSeek V4 as a lower-cost engine for the platform — a pairing that puts the company on a collision course with both its enterprise customers' security teams and a White House that has spent months trying to wall off Chinese AI from American infrastructure.................... https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318647/20260618/microsoft-eyes-deepseek-v4-copilot-cowork-what-azure-hosting-cannot-fix.htm

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
