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.

    • Instagram just got "a long-requested feature"

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Instagram just got "a long-requested feature" by Hamid Ganji Instagram has finally added a new feature that has been "long-requested" and it allows users to write an individual caption for each image or video in a carousel. The feature will start rolling out this week, and it’ll be available to all users. Previously, Instagram only allowed a single caption for all regular posts and carousels. This made it harder for content creators to describe every scene in a carousel and often forced them to write longer captions. However, with this new feature, every slide in a carousel can have its own caption, which can be viewed by swiping left or right. To use the feature, when writing a caption for your post, select “Multiple captions” from the dropdown menu in the caption area. You can then write unique captions for each slide. By swiping through the carousel and selecting individual slides, a dedicated space for writing captions will appear. Instagram says the feature will help audiences get the right context at the right moment. The ability to assign a unique caption to each slide in a carousel could be particularly useful for content creators and brands on the platform. Instagram says the feature will begin rolling out this week. The new feature appears to have been well received by Instagram users, many of whom have been requesting it for a long time. However, users are now asking for additional features, such as the ability to add new slides to a carousel after it has been published. Instagram has been introducing several useful features lately, but users who want access to additional tools and perks can subscribe to the platform’s Instagram Plus offering. Priced at $3.99 per month, Instagram Plus includes exclusive features such as 48-hour Stories, more detailed post analytics, and the ability to tailor posts or Stories to specific audiences. The subscription includes 11 new features in total.

    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      "Learning" and "starting" are fine uses of AI. The moment that crap falls into the final game? Lost a sale from me.

      Don't worry, the majority of its members still suffer from heavy TDS, so these White House simping posts will continue being few and far between.
    • This 4K webcam from Acer is now only $59.99

      By termite · Posted

      If you're using a webcam for Zoom calls, then any 720p or 1080p cam will do. If on the other hand you want high quality video for streaming or recording, then consider using a DSLR or mirrorless camera, because 99% of 4k webcams will have a tough time achieving same results.
