$10 says this is one of the last high profile roles she gets

I watched the whole season last night because it was only 6 episodes. The plot didn’t make any sense. There were some major holes. It’s a pretty throw away season IMO. They just tried to wrap the show in a bow.

Not sure. I keep hearing how bad S3 was so I was hoping to not have to watch it.



We started S4 last night, and watched the recap and I remember about a third of what they showed. S3 was just retarded, you'll be fine.

2.5 episodes in, interesting. I kinda like the Thibodeaus, they are comic-book-weird. Maybe they get more ridiculous and I'll get over that.

I agree that Viktor is likely done with any meaningful roles. She backed into this one, and it has become such a bad character.

The first episode is better than the entirety of s3 which was a total abortion.


S3 was trash, but trying to watch E1 of this season is just weird. They all seem like they’re not even acting, just going through the lines. Save for 5. Everyone else is phoning it in. And holy hell, Ellen Page as some stud working HER way through all the town hotties?

The least believable thing ever about the show.

C’mon man!!!

Just finished. 5 was the only character worth a damn for me. It just felt like everyone was slogging through to finish this up

Just finished it, the whole series is pointless, way to finish with a terd. Just seems like a waste of time now. Terrible ending. Need a spoiler thread, because there is too much garbage to unpack here.

This show started out good with an interesting soundtrack then shite the bed. The only notable thing it really did was boost Gallagher's career

Which is more unbelievable.

Viktor or whatever (all 5'2", 110 lbs ) is the town heartthrob that the single gals can't get enough of

OR

Some former concert violinist and teacher arriving in a new timeline with apparently no in-world ties or connections other than those in her 'family', yet now owns and runs a bar in some random town. What background does 'he' have with buying property, running and managing a restaurant or business? Where'd the capital come from to invest? What connections were there?

There are many questions here.

And of course, doing all of this without any powers.

That was like 5 seconds of the season and clearly rage bait. It's a nice trap to call people some kind of phobic over it. There was so much more to call lazy and bad in this show without falling into this trap.

What kind of writers would intentionally “rage bait“ fans who have stuck with his garbage series into the fourth season? Oh right, current day Hollywood writers.

The underlying message, though, is still being pushed. And it should be pushed back upon. Men can’t become women and vice versa.

you can get over the ridiculousness with Ellen Page early in the episode, which was cringe as frick, you’ll be ok.


Gee, wonder why her name was always the first in the credits, though they misspelled her first name.

I was told it gets better?

It doesn't. One idiotic scene after another. Nothing makes sense. The 'humor' that's supposed to be zany, whacky and free form comes off as unfunny absurd nonsense.

Things happen which clearly warrant further discussion and action, but they just blow them off and carry on with THE most mindless of inane issues.

No one catches a single stray bullet when an entire town is shooting at them? In broad daylight, and for absolutely no reason... that's retarded.

This is a terribly written show.

Right, the ones that can’t create a decent story and instead use stupid scenes to blame the watchers as bad people.
