Did you not see it coming from the brief interludes with the son beforehand? 

They still did a good job with the camera work - enough to suspend the notion there at the end.


Tryin' not to spoil anything, here.  Dunno if I'm being cryptic enough to avoid it.. or maybe too much to understand at all.  :idiot2:

I was wondering about certain technologies that were being used.
and, just to dive off the pc correctness board, I was wondering about a black guy as 2nd in command on a ship launched in the early 60s.

Maybe the trip gave him a suntan?

I'm kidding, sheesh. That is rather ??? considering the subject matter's timeline.

He's second in command in 2014. That command crew is made up of the children of the original crew. The ship's society has evolved in 51 years. In ways similar and different to Earth's society.

Interesting. I will watch it eventually, just not now. Too many other things.

I finished with Marvel's Agents of SHIELD and now I'm stuck. I started watching The 4400 and really liked the first couple of episodes, but I know it gets sh!tcanned a few seasons later and that upset a lot of people, so I don't know that I want to get all involved in it and then have it just drop into nothingness. I NEED CLOSURE, MANG.

For similar whackadoo comics continuity fanservice, you could do a lot worse than Arrow and (eventually) The Flash (which starts concurrently with Arrow 3.0). The Flash has much superior writing and plot design (and sfx design), but Arrow has its good points, sometimes. Don't forget to DVR in case they repeat this season's Shield eps, though (assuming you don't want to steal it from somewhere).

Don't know from work if Arrow is available on Prime or 'flix. The Flash will most likely repeat its first half-season in coming weeks (and already repeated a few critical eps we somehow missed recording the first time.)

This might be a good time to get into Lost or the Battlestar: Galactica reboot.

I think there's two seasons of Arrow on Netflix.

^^ Well that's a weirdly specific random observation about your lif-- ohhh, right, the thread has an actual topic. Sorry.  ;D

Agreed.

I'm in for the duration, though. I gotta see what happens.
