@dask that being our conundrum...how are you liking the series?

Never got back to it. Really good for a while but the government goose-stepping into the investigation keeping the local authorities out turned me off. May try watching it later on DVD or something.
 
i think the government had to be involved in order to tie in the 1st crossing people as related to this group,since many are infiltrated into government and powerful companies, etc... otherwise, how would they know about crossing #2 in order to be threatened? btw, i am upset Agent Ren(sp?) is already killed off
 
Apparently the first wave arrived without being spotted, unless nobody realised who they really were 10 years ago. I suppose we have to wait and see if we can find more about the death of Marshall's mother in the next episodes.
The key factor is *infiltration*. Did they use only fake papers or they had to kill and replace somebody ? They killed 27 key people and nobody noticed ?
Yeah, I hate they killed agent Ren so quickly, too.
 
I was also annoyed by her death. Not only in the "that's sad I liked that character" way but also in "that just didn't fit the story structure" way. It was jarring. It left me sitting there thinking, "Really? They did that? Why?"
 
yes, exactly @Anthoney ...i was like wait..what purpose did that serve?! besides to make me loathe her killer.lol

I was disappointed as well as shocked by the murder.
Killing a developing, sympathetic character is atypical of a mainstream television network program. They may be trying to compete with cable.
Offing beloved characters in horrible ways is standard operating procedure for hugely popular shows like Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead. It shocks and enrages fans, yet they continue to watch. Waiting for revenge is a powerful draw.
The plan may backfire on ABC. It is sometimes comforting to watch shows believing that main characters are going to survive against all odds.
They still haven't found the body, so I'm keeping a faint hope.
 
I haven't seen it either- she seemed pretty dead
Sheriff has been swinging back and forth on my nerves
I want more Hannah and the guy who sent her the phone
Ack-I also think ren was killed out of sheriffs jurisdiction
 
It's not included in the series pub. It's just a pub they usually do on my Space channel before the next episode.

Don't worry ! we will see more of Marshall and Hannah in the next episodes. ;)
 
Wow! Three of the shows I watch axed in the same week. Do I sense a conspiracy designed to steer me into more productive activities? :(
 
Hardly surprising. I think if Continuum couldn't retain it's figures with its far more exciting premise and higher budget (I assume), then I can't see this carrying its own cost.

I agree it's a shame. So, yeah, it was Continuum-Lite, but they could've given it time to develop and fill out.

So The Expanse has been axed, too? That shows criminal lack of foresight. I don't think there's been a SF that robust since the Battlestar Galactica reboot and Caprica.

I'm expecting The Mist to bite it, too.
