To be honest, three episodes in, I am enjoying the fundamentals but am starting to get confused on the plot with all the time travel.

yeah, it's starting to get a little confusing, but i'm enjoying the show so far (haven't watched last night's ep yet, though). i like the scully/mulder-ish kind of vibe between cole & railey...their dynamic is a big plus. if this show is gonna be around for the long haul, then sooner or later cole needs to get "stuck" in 2015 & let the rest of the series play itself out from there....if time travel is supposed to affect the psyche (like they mentioned), cole's gonna be a raging lunatic before long, lol...

the movie is a top-20 fave of mine, so i was relieved the TV show didn't try to mimic it too closely, just sticking to its basic philosophy instead.

I've got all the episodes on the DVR, but haven't watched them. I'm just pissed they made Stowe's character a blonde.

I am watching last night's episode now. I can say that I am losing interest fast. I don't like the 2032 stuff I guess. I don't know how much longer I'll continue watching this show.

anyone still watching this show? I just watched the last episode and I am still liking it. Now they have added a new dynamic to the show and it might get interesting if they stick to it.

I like it, bad ratings though. Interesting though it is high on the most torrented list.

bad ratings for friday night SYFY or bad ratings in general? I don't know of a SYFY show that has really good ratings or at least from personal experience, not even BSG when it was doing well, most people recorded it and watched it later that I knew.

Yeah, it keeps slipping. But to be honest, I never watch it on Friday nights - seriously, many people are out. I normally just DVR it and watch it later.

But I like it a lot - one of only 8-10 shows I record.

Spoiler Alert:




I thought last night's episode had some interesting twists - like a separate facility looking for a cure and Cole leaping into a different timeline at the last second (and now the 2015 folks think they stopped the virus).

That was what I was hinting at without typing spoilers earlier. The other group searching for a cure and the struggle between the two that is bound to happen. This is a show that I am enjoying but I would love to see them wrap it up in one season and call it done. It doesn't seem to be built for long term legs unless they just tread water for a long time between the timelines.

Just finished last night's episode. Pretty good stuff.

I agree that this show seems suited to a one or two season lifespan.

Check out La Jetee. It's an experience.

I agree - 1-2 years would be fine with me.

I agree they need to slow down on the time jumping. It's not all that confusing to follow, but it's kind of a plot crutch. They're already going off into side stories and virus mutations before developing a solid storyline and following.

I have no idea what "good" ratings would be for SyFy, but it says something about how the network sees its audience that they put an original series on Friday night back to back with another show about viruses.

Season finale was tonight. Syfy did renew the show for a second season so it will be very interesting to see where they go with this.

I have absolutely no idea what is going on in this show, but I still watch it.
