Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsThe soldier says that Center, Blair, and Clinton counties must be evacuated. There are no counties named Center or Blair in New York. There is a Clinton County but it is at the extreme north of the state, much farther than it would be reasonable for someone to drive from New York City looking for refuge.
Featured review
Decent acting. Dreadful pacing. (U)
Update: per the comparisons to foundation... imho it took 7 (!) entire episodes of that show, to arrive at a "point", or to click (only for me personally I'm saying) and make me say "ohhhhh...I get it now" out loud, like an idiot. But I didn't write a single review of foundation because it was mostly good. I came here to write a review, of this episode only, because I was so bored watching it and because of my disdain for stupid characters/motivations. The other reviewers pointed out the marketing vs the actual show. Well said. Go watch the trailers and come back here and tell me they match the content. The other reviewers pointed out the highway stop scene also. Well said. Wasn't that the stupidest thing you're ever seen? For the record, the woman portraying the Japanese space agency character is one of the better actors on the show. I was invested in her emotionally.
Original: Took 48 minutes to get interesting. I'm writing this during the episode. That should tell you how entertaining I found it.
Some lame characters do some dumb things. Questionable motivations abound. Actress on the poster is good when she isn't whining about her doofus husband or screaming & crying. Given dialog, she's clearly a solid actor. My point is, the on-screen talent isn't the problem.
A kid gets knocked to the ground at one point. And it takes them what feels like 30 seconds to get back up. The pacing forced me to check my watch. I want to like the show. Stayed up to watch it. But almost fell asleep this episode.
I remain skeptical of this show. I dont like shows about dumb characters doing dumb things.
