Last season was much improved over the first. I like how this season started out so far. The only character I could really do without is Poe. I know that they need a character to balance out Tom as the ultimate good guy, but Poe sucks.

Pope?

And yeah, he's always sucked, both as a character and the actor who plays him is pretty bad.


Also, do they do a good job of setting up where the last season left off (like sort of a recap to start the season)? I don't remember what all was going on aside from that little ship thing coming down and the (seemingly) helpful alien walking out.

Yes, Pope. I guess The Following corrupted my mind. It's POE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The time lapse had me a little off, but I like how they started the season. I am really interested to see how this alliance with the new aliens (the Volm?) plays out.

Just watched the first two seasons over the last couple weeks, but I'm traveling this week and wasn't able to watch the premiere. I'll try and catch the replay Sunday morning.

Didn't want to read this thread (even though it's short...TWSS) since I haven't watched yet, but how were the first two episodes?


It was pretty damn good. Lots of action and drama all around. I was very intrigued the whole way. This show will never be a world beater like GOT or lost but it's pretty good for what it is. Like I said in the OP, you never feel like you're wasting your time with this show.

Watch it.

I can't believe Tom was so trusting to let them build it in secret.


Like I said, I hope we see some backstory from the past seven months on how relations with the Volm developed and how Tom came to trust them like he does right now.

Not looking good for this thread's popularity. I have a feeling it will be like 3 or 4 of us all season. Kinda like the Terra Nova threads.

I just got into this show within the last few weeks. I'm caught up but now I'm stuck on the west coast. I tried to catch up on my iPad but haven't had a chance to really watch it.

I'm sure once I catch up on GoT, I'll be all in this thread

Howard Stern said he has already seen the first 5 episodes and that they are great.

Can someone just jump into S3 or is there too much back story?

You probably could jump in and figure out what is going on (or most of it) but I would recommend watching it from the beginning.

Like I said in the OP, I hope there's enough interest in this show on this board for this thread to sustain itself.

It depends on how good the show is going to be this summer.

Either the presidential assistant or the unharnessed girl is my guess. Or the baby.

So I watched the first couple episodes tonight and both were much better than anything last season. These two give me hope that the show will have a solid season.

I really don't like the time jump without catching us up. They must have several flashbacks planned to fill in the gaps.

Yeah, it's way too obvious.

Maybe it's the former narc cop Manchester was talking too.

You watch this show man? Good to have you aboard.

Anyway, Would you be willing to start a help board thread for OMLandshark? You're somebody I think the admins would listen to.

Since it looks like y'all need more posters who watch I'll try and remember to post.

Been watching since season 1. Good show, I enjoy it.

I thought the lead Rebel Skidder died in season 2? And who is this new chick who is running as a scout with Ben? Assuming Another harnessed kid who is now free

Apparently, he's been replaced by a new one I guess.

No idea, that's what I'm hoping for backstory on. And I agree that it's most likely another harnessed kid who's free now.
