    Season finale last night, anyone watch it?

    The season started out slowly, building, plotting, but the last half of the season was great story telling.

    I enjoyed the heck out of the movie with Yul Brynner. I will watch the series if you have the episodes on a flash drive.

    I have no idea what you're talking about.

    But I bet I could make that happen.

    We're watching it. Anthony Hopkins and Ed Harris are great in it.

    Great acting and dialogue, but there's some real physics problems that never get adequately explained.

    I watched it. Very unsatisfying, No one to really relate to or root for. And why did Felix help them change their programming? Makes no sense.

    Got about 5 episodes in and have let it slide (need to watch comedies these days). Can't get over the idea that a McPoyle is supposed to be a sympathetic character.

    Also can't get over the idea that the androids/whatever we're calling them would just be used in a THEME PARK. (What was it with Michael Crichton and theme parks?)

    Watched the end of the movie on YouTube (it's there) and Yul Brynner is amazing.

    Have you seen Ex Machina? That's pretty good. And it doesn't require 12 hours out of your life...

    That's a great point. I kept waiting for the, "and here is how we weaponize our toys" angle from the corporate stooges.

    Just finished it up, I liked it. Hard to know what is real or not but season 2 should be pretty fun.
