Hendo Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 I started losing interest from series 3 - it really started to lose its way for me. I might go back now it's on Netflix and see if my opinion changes, but I loved the first two series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambob Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 im a few episodes through season 1 and im liking it. The 'what are we going to do, how will we solve this, oh solved it' thing is definitely a bit jarring but you have to follow certain conventions to fill a series and get it recommissioned and so on so im fine with that.

Sambob Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Ooh, just noticed that the bald 'observer' has been in every episode so far, just saw him get out of a lift in an episode. I like how things are starting to come together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 ....and that's the part of the story that goes bad for me in later series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sambob Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Still going strong on this, really enjoying it but there are one or two things which make you roll your eyes a bit. Im liking how things are starting to link together, getting a few theories together, but its almost like whenever I think of something clever, the show goes and spells it out.

Pikman Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 If anyone has Season 3 and doesn't mind lending me that last few episodes, please let me know. They deleted it from Catchup just as I was about to finish it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sambob Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Watched a few of season 2 so far, really liked season 1 actually, although can already see that season 2 means business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambob Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Seen two episodes of season 5 now, thoughts so far: Generally its really good, and Walter Bishop just gives it that bit of magic. Ive found myself liking Joshua Jackson's character a lot more as the series has gone along too. It always seemed like they were going to make Olivia the superstar, but Peter being the audiences anchor was a bit of a curveball. Im still not sure what I feel about it jumping all over the place all the time. It has lead to some good stories, and ive liked how they revisited some of series 1's stories with Peter having already experienced them in his original timeline, but it made me care about the other main characters a lot less because they arent technically 'mine' any more. Its brave of them to do, many other shows would certainly play it safe.When series 5 starts, and im only two episodes in mind, I really didnt like yet another change out of the blue, but over the course of the opening episode it won me over because I liked Henry Ian Cusick's (Desmond from Lost) character but then he disappears soon after, although he might be back I suppose. It feels a bit like Heroes when it started to go all over the place, but lots of people have said they really like the last series so im going to continue to put my faith in it and hopefully not be let down with the ending Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manicm Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Only just started season/series 2 good start so far, i just need some time to watch this now. My TV backlog is worse than my gaming, i have seasons 1-7? of 24 yet to watch as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 I'm not sure if I got as far as series 5, might've even stopped by the end of 3. It was whenever the other baldies cast September out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambob Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Oh right, well if something about the baldies ruined it for you before that point, then you perhaps wouldnt have liked watching further anyway, without spoiling anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyKurosaki Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Series 5 is a massive change in direction, but I felt it really worked. And the ending was pretty good as well. I went from never having heard of this last year, to blazing through the lot in one go. It's brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 Started back on this - went back to series 3 to get up to speed and I'm enjoying it but I do seem to remember a third universe and it all going downhill for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambob Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I forgot to say id finished this now. All in all it was a great show, and I respect it for not doing the normal successful US show thing of milking the same formula until it gets stale, even if it might have had one or two misses among the hits. Strong lead cast throughout especially with the amount of doubling and tripling up some had to do, but John Noble as Walter Bishop was a delight from start to finish and definitely goes down as one of my favourite characters of all time, definitely the highlight of the show for me even til the last minutes of the last episode.
