Gotdayum, this ? was ass.

Oh well, guess it's because of the initial ratings it got due to Steven Spielberg producing it.

    Solid show. Only reason I watched it because the entire season was on demand. Don't know if I'd wait week to week for it though. It may catch a DVR spot.

    I agree it was a solid show, nothing spectacular but enough to keep me watching through-out the season. The show got good ratings, so it was no surprise it got renewed.

    That show sucks. I watched it every week with my wife, but the characters and story are just ass. The last episode summed it up perfectly. This history professor, picks up a rocket launcher for the first time ever and knocks a alien space ship out of the air as easily as if he was shooting a BB gun at a balloon.

    this season has been wack so far. Tom is like Batman or some ? . He's a history teacher that knows how to do everything and gives historical speeches and ? . Dude shut the ? up with that Abraham Lincoln ? , we're dealing with aliens. This show can be much better if they toned down the Tom and his family stroke fest and brought some of the other characters into the mix. Pope and Weaver are always better on screen imo

    LOL Tom and his family were annoying since season 1 when they were literally risking the whole group for one or two people. Or when that dude was picking up rocket launchers and shooting with pinpoint accuracy his first time seeing one.

    hahaha, yeah you're right about that. It's as though they don't even know where to go with the story. Going by the start of this season, I'm not sure why the last season even existed. What was the point of introducing the Volm? They've literally done nothing. Ok, they seemed to be worse than the Espheni, but then they just leave the planet in control of the Espheni? wtf??? Now there's supposed to be a new threat coming. So far this is just some sort of Mason fanfiction

    well stated.. i recently went back and rewatched the first 3 seasons.. IMO this season is shaping up to be the worst one.. (only saw the first 2 episodes) cant remember her name but Tom's daughter and their "safe place"their in with ol girl being praised like a priest.. im like foh with this hippy ? .. the worlds been evaded by aliens for like 2 years now. and all of sudden this garden of eden ? pops up..and these idiots just chilling gun free like ? aint gon hit the fan eventually...

    i agree with you 100% with your entire post but the bolded.. truth.com the show got alot of potential and could be great, but its too much Tom ( his family & his family drama.. how Moon go from doctor to superthug???) and not enough trill ? popping.. i remember a thread about this show in the past and someone put the show is written by a woman.. if thats true, doesnt surprise me a bit.

    and last thing... the cat who plays Ben... is one of the worst actors i have saw.. like i said i just watched the first 3 seasons.. and i watching them and thinking this dude is just a terrible actor.. like ? terrible. first i thought maybe they want him to act that way because he has spikes (and that other black kid Ricky was kinda spaced out too) but naw im convinced that dude is just terrible.

    I said it before, and I know it sounds sexist, but I think the show is the way it is because the source material was written by a woman. It's just something that's common with female writing. They tend to put more emphasis on personality development and interpersonal relationships between characters than the actual logic behind the plot. This show revolves around Tom and his love for his family, which in itself is not a bad thing. The problem comes in the fact that it is push to the extent that everything takes a backseat which is ridiculous when you're dealing with an "end of the world" scenario.
