Excellent episodes. :)

Sigh, if they cancel this I'm going to fly over to America and punch whoever is in charge of ABC.

Totally agree. Its such a good concept and awesome show. It has the potential to succeed because its such a new concept like Lost was at the time it began in. ABC is screwing it over with the crap time slots, here in Australia the ratings were very good for this show and it was in the perfect 8:30pm slot. Also it's not the smartest thing to do such a massive break mid season. It's such a good show but will be canceled if ABC doesn't get their act together!

two episodes in a row. Thats too much for this show. Eventhough I laugh a couple of times, when he asked to her (she stil lesbian, tho) for a beer.

And I insist, this show should last no more than 3 episodes, that would be great. The shorter the better. Now is all no sence, at all. How could you explain that the two heads of the most extreme terrorist act on history still on their body and not rolling. Killing 20 millions of ppl worldwide and no one from any country (even the victim, U.S., as usual) dont react againt them with the same effort that ended with the life of a "recent" executed dictator...

:pinch: If you don't like the show, then don't watch it. Why do you even bother posting? All you do is post negative **** between this and LOST. Go away!

Just waiting for them to finish it up now, doesn't it end at episode 16?

I might sit down and watch it then.

There's 22 episodes (according to imdb) but watching a season at a time is a good way (Y)

Its not the shows fault, something like this was looking from episode one that it was going to take a while to get there but still worth the trek. Its the networks fault for their lack of support and the fraking long ass break.

If they have to cancel one, I'd hope they cancel V. That show just can't hold my interest.

I don't know what you guys were watching but this show's not that great.

"You look dehydrated. You should replenish your electrolytes." Come on, who the hell talks like that? Just tell the guy to have a damned drink :laugh: There were countless examples of this and the whole thing sounds like it was written by children. Most of the dialogue between the FBI agents is ridiculously anachronistic and the jargon from the scientists just doesn't make any sense.

And why is it that all these shows have to involve some religious aspect? Is it really that difficult to write a sci-fi series without forcing an aggressive religious message down the viewers throat. As if the ending of BSG wasn't sickening enough, this show and V both feel the need to include overtly positive religious characters or plotlines. We all know where Caprica is heading too with all these visions of Amanda Graystone's dead brother. It's sad to see this nonsense being pushed by former ST:TNG writers too.

It wouldn't worry me in the slightest if Flash Forward or V were cancelled and they can take Caprica with them. OK, rant over :angry:

Oh, I forgot to mention that the product placement for Palm in these episodes was pretty pathetic too. Everyone has a Palm Pre, evidence in the form of a leather case for a Palm Pre turns up and they even have an app for tracking prisoner tags that runs on a Palm Pre (surprising that that's one of the 100 apps that are available for the platform).

I was also surprised to see that woman's Palm Pre connected to Sprint in Toronto. I'm from the UK so I may be wrong but that seemed a little unlikely to me.

Ironic that all this product placement comes a day or two after we find out that Palm's effectively doomed :whistle:

Yeah I would have liked the episode twice as much without the douchebag window washer narrator.

Wasn't Phone-Tracking-FBI-Guy one of the terrorists in Sleeper Cell? I thought it was funny seeing those two together again.

We just need 'Liv to get in to FBI HQ with those two and it will be a reunion!

Yup.

I had to look it up, I had never heard of 'Sleeper Cell'.

Awesome couple of episodes. FF may not be as classy as LOST, but it sure as hell is interesting. The ratings are ABCs fault. ?Seriously, a half a 4 months gap? I am sure V is also gonna do miserably in its comeback episode.

I hope that ABC at least gives them the heads up in advance (if they decide to drop the show), so that the storyline can be wrapped up. When will the general public warm up to Sci-Fi?

My thoughts exactly. Had to motivate myself to watch it (because of the gap) but it was worth it! Hopefully the ratings will pick up and shouldn't be cancelled and maybe get a second season!

Wait this is still considered Season 1?

I dont know why but I really CAN'T get into this show.

I tried to, but... :(

Poor directing to me??

I like ALL the parts on Lost, 24, but not into this much.

This show Seems SLOW!

:pinch: If you don't like the show, then don't watch it. Why do you even bother posting? All you do is post negative **** between this and LOST. Go away!

LMAO...

yes it is the second half of Season 1, it went on hiatus and returned last week and clearly it sounds like the shows concept doesn't appeal to you if you are not enjoying it...plus if you are just watching now you will need to go back watch the first half of the season but if you have seen them all and as I said not enjoying then stop.

      Wow, spoken like a true blind hater, you don't even provide arguments. Please, go check my comment above to @seacaptain and you'll find out why what you say doesn't make sense in this context...
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By grunger106 · Posted

      Get used to this, with AI tooling now uncovering new vulns and getting them exploitable far faster than has ever been possible before software is going to need to be updated far more frequently. Back in the day it may take reseachers weeks or months to do what AI can now do in hours. Once its a threat is discovered it's weaponsized far more quickly, meaning you simply can't be waiting 2, 3, 4 weeks to deploy a patch, it needs to be patched immediately. Going to be interesting handling this in the enterprise space where traditionally patching has been steady, but very staged (and rightly so up until now), that is going to have to change.

      You don't need to "close all browser sessions constantly" or wait for updates to install. The updates download in the background while you use the browser, without interrupting you, they install automatically the next time you launch the app. And they install very fast (depending on your storage speeds, of course), you have to wait at most 2-3 extra seconds, if any. Seems like you haven't used Edge in a loooooooong time...
