Those of you who like spotting little trivia things in movies/TV shows would appreciate this...

See the name circled in red? It's in Russian and translates into "Bad Robot", which happens to be JJ Abrams (aka creator of this series) production company and one that makes this show. You're welcome.

I'm kind of neutral on this show and putting it on hold to see how the rest of the season pans out before deciding whether to continue or not.. I'm all for the show coming out JJ Abrams production company, but this is sort of following along the path of Burn Notice with the whole case by case plot and characters with hidden pasts where they reveal bits a pieces until they finally tell us who is after them. The plot has excitement and action, but that excitement does not engage me as the viewer.

Those of you who are enjoying it, I hope the show keeps going to your liking.

lost reference as well!

OMG Rappy, you caught it too ! :D I'm on episode 8 now and I've already spotted 3 LOST references : the Virgin Mary (2 times in different episodes) and of course Ben's List (seriously, just hearing Michael Emerson in the first episode saying "I have a list" gave me goosebumps). Now, the show's backbone is great, but I felt the acting was really lacking. Mind you, Emerson and Caviezel deliver a great performance, but Carver ... meh. That Keyser S?ze guy ... wasn't convincing AT ALL. Felt completely out of place. Fusco is so-so.

Still, it's a great show that I'll be watching. The idea is totally awesome, especially the fact that you never know if the person of interest is going to be a bad guy or just a victim. I just hope they cast better actors for the secondary roles, like they did with Linda Cardellini :wub:

Is this show any good? Is it worth starting to watch? The viewership ratings don't seem to be all that good.

I think it's definitely worth watching. You may or may not like it but you won't know for sure until you do. I've seen every episode so far and I think it's a great show.

i think 23 was the finale as everyone talks about it like if it was the last episode

but at the end of the episode, i head finch say "stay stuned for scenes from our next episode"

yea, saw that too, but kinda find any reference to the next episode, and that felt like a season final.

also this happened in another show recently, right at the end it said stay stuned for scenes from our next episode....can't remember which one it was though.

    • How do you future-proof a home or small office network?

      By Circaflex · Posted

      Personally, I’ve found that it’s usually worth investing in the infrastructure you don’t want to replace later, especially cabling. Running Cat6A (or better, depending on your needs) during an upgrade is relatively inexpensive compared to having to re-cable a few years down the road. For switches I try to balance current specs with realistic growth. If my budget allows it Ill choose switches with higher uplink speeds which leaves room for expanding later on, but I don’t necessarily overspend on access ports if the endpoints won’t benefit from them anytime soon. One lesson I’ve learned is that planning for scalability pays off. It’s much easier to add devices, VLANs, or higher-bandwidth workloads when your network infrastructure already supports it than to replace hardware later.  What is your budget like?

      I hate the term, "future-proof." We saw it back in the 90's / 2000's, if not before. You cannot future-proof anything, since there is no definition of how far into the future you plan on prepping for. Best idea is to tell us what you currently have and what its use is at the moment, and we can then offer ideas about some areas that might need an upgrade and other areas that can be left alone.
    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I can agree that it is being used in a small capacity. I worked for a company where their engineers still used XP, and when asked why it was because their sensor software wasn't compatible with newer operating systems and the software was discontinued so they couldn't upgrade the software. Given that the sensors were still in use by companies, they had to continue using XP to support the sensor, otherwise the price to the company would have gone into the millions or billions. Our response was simple: Ok, you can keep the XP machine. But we're removing it from the network. "But then it can't access the Internet or folder shares!" Yup, kinda the point. If someone wants to continue using an unsecure OS they can do, I have no problem with that. But it should be isolated. Simple. I had a fight with a guy in the engineering department for weeks before he finally relented. But we digress.   What do I plan on doing to commemorate the anniversary? Nothing. I have fond memories of the OS, but at the end of the day it's just an OS. If I had some time I might see if I could install it on my Raspberry Pi for a laugh. But my reflex memory with today's OS ideas would probably get me frustrated and I'd uninstall it after 5 mins.
