So I dust of the old box, and flip thru the channels, and she settles on Extant, which starts really well ...but is a chicks show, who really cares how Halle Berry gets a bun in the oven, ... in space....very chick flicky.
But whats worse is her relationship with her husband, you'd think being in space like she would actually miss him...? no spark there at all, and he's so wrapped up in his bots too....sick? .... no thanks !
SCORE: 4/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3155320

As soon as I get a minute I flick thru and settle on Helix, for 10 minutes ...shit total shit, you may see snow I see shit, one good actress, Catherine Lemieuxand (the fat blond doctor) this too has Hiroyuki Sanada playing the evil tycoon too, ...yawn
SCORE: 2/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2758950

Now I'm pissed, that I even bothered to turn this on, I stumble into The Strain, and instantly taken by this plane sitting on the taxi way at JFK. so I toke to the max and follow the story ..not bad too, a very good twist on a familiar yarn known to all, and considering we all wait with abated breath for the next poor sucker to catch Ebola, this tv story has me going, tho I confess to avoiding the blatant dumb ass and totally unnecessary characterization of the lead hero...use it as a toke time
SCORE: 6/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2654620

Know what really hurts? They cancelled Terra Nova after one season.... but let some of this crap go on tv.....

Have you gone thru 'The Leftovers' yet? I did the book, and then was kinda let down by the (lack of an) ending.... kinda prevents me from seeing the show...

Terra Nova wasn't exactly amazing. I like good sci fi, I don't think it qualified. Pretty sure the budget was huge for it as well.

The 100 isn't horrible. It's not fantastic like early BSG or Firefly (which definitely never should have been cancelled), but it's better than some of the stuff on right now. I kinda liked Almost Human except that it became fairly procedural.

OMG Firefly/Serenity.... how did that shit ever get cancelled....

I mostly gave up on US-TV, the FCC prevents anything good from being available. I find the BBC shows our US ripoffs were based on, n get the whole series... Dude, BBC's Shameless... Fucking. Epic. (Not scifi, but damn good)

Id give Enders Game about a 6.5/10 but only cuz I loved the books, and they half-assed it.

Cant go wrong with a nice long Dr. Who marathon tho :)
