    I totally get that and I thought the premiere started off pretty well,with a bit of style and unusual characters but it ended up veering far too soon into the usual formulaic crap which TV hopes will pass for entertainment.
    I'm also a sucker for the sentimental stuff which is why I found the second episode sort of offensive as the promos made it look like it was going to be about the girl,Bo and the sick kid and it was almost entirely about running from the cops and that extremely lame assassin.Btw what happened to Sienna Guillory who was much,much,much better?

    To tell the truth all the shows have some merit and potentially intriguing stories which is why I hate them all the more for their lack of ambition.

    Okay thanks for the warning. (Haven't watched the 2nd episode yet.)

    Yes, I can see the "Firestarter" scenario now... but you know how many of Stephen King's brilliant ideas grab me.

    I will say this on the positive side though Season 3 of "Continuum" 1st episode grabbed me today! I long thought even my active scifi lusts couldn't resurrect that turd, but low and behold they deviated from their normal passe shoot'um up format to some thing that vaguely (...and I mean vaguely!) reminded me of the whole Dr Who premise of time travel, time paradoxes and meeting oneself in another time. "Correcting the time continuum" as it were... represented by a changing "tree of time stream hologram"... makes you have a brain, (albeit a small one, but a brain none the less!) but we will see! Followers or fans of the show should be pleased by the change.

    As I remember scifi is not one of your genres of much enthusiasm, but one never knows what he future holds.

    (...or can be changed to.)

    I did a quick peruse of upcoming movies and this is the one that most caught my eye.

    It's not so much that I dislike Science Fiction per se as I'd get rather the humanity of a situation and not the technology of a situation be the main focus.
    I even found reason to like Oblivion because of that and Lord knows it was no great movie.

    I've seen his house and I'm still not buying that Stephen King isn't some kind of futuristic writing computer capable of output far exceeding mortal man.

    2 seconds too many of Tom Cruise on my phone screen. I refused to watch any more of the trailer for whatever that was sinceI am that judgmental.

    Along with a 7 year old girl dressed in a Sailor Moon outfit.

    There was also the remains of what policeman believe may have been an attempt at a confession which read "I only really like them small because by contrast my penis looks HUGE!!!!!!!!!"
