I'm watching the second series now so spoiler for season 2 here:

I can believe in time travellers from 2077 coming back 65 years, but a super-soldier who just killed 6 other heavily built men in a fight cannot beat a single man recently released from hospital after a life-threatening stomach gun-shot wound???

As for her mole removal, considering the increasing danger of skin cancer in the future as a result of the depleted Ozone layer, I'd have it removed on medical grounds until the Ozone layer is repaired and cancer is cured.

Also, I'm pretty sure that horses will survive until 2077, especially as work horses, since that will be well past Peak Oil. There are a lot of things that she has absolutely no problem with, and then every so often they throw in something just to remind us - did you realise she's from the future?

Forgive me, I like it really - even though it has recycled ideas from every other time travel story ever written.

I like the fact that Liber8 has spilt into two factions. That is a fairly realistic scenario, and yet it really mixes up the story.

I have split the thread in two, so please no Season 3 spoilers in this thread and use the spoiler tags for major season 2 events (bearing in mind the DVDs are just released.)

Use this for season 2+ http://www.sffchronicles.co.uk/forum/548145-continuum-season-3-spoilers-for-season-1-and.html

I'm midway through season 2. It s clear from some posts here that there is a major shake up at the season end, but for me, this constant discussion on destiny versus free-will is getting dull.

What I do like about this series is the multiple layers - how everyone has a different agenda and different goals and alliances - how the terrorists can be seen as the good guys (if they were not so brutal) but then Kira is not adverse to a little torture herself (so how is that different) - and how lacking that certain knowledge that the future cannot be changed only complicates matters more.
