So I made it five minutes into this episode, and had to pause, and then ended up here. There are two characters I actually like on the show, and apparently they killed one.

So, I didn't watch the first two seasons until season two had almost finished airing, and watched it marathon style with strep throat. Anyway, aside from thinking the time compression was dumb, and there were waaaaaaay more twists than any case should involve, it was moderately enjoyable.

I'm from a family of corn growers. We rotate corn and soy beans. That's why everything you eat has soy biproducts in it. You're welcome.

Theoretically they could have a great deal in storage and manage to replenish it through processing waste products. Conservation of matter- the minerals and/or building blocks for the minerals won't be lost.

Hydroponics. That's actually one of the more believable things, although the plants they showed on the episode were nothing compared to what you'd need. However, this facility has an atom smasher, so it's probably miles long.

The science on the show sucks. The acting in the show sucks. The only reasonable thing it has going for it is the action.

You do realize that the reason it's awesome is it's a soap AND no one cares about the plot holes?

I was very disappointed that they didn't have Sam complete the trial. It felt very, eh, meh. It would be an easy work around for next season- clearly if something can be closed it can also be reopened.

I would definitely say he borders on abusive. I'd probably characterize him more as a stalker most of the time. He is controlling, she can't leave him, and they have this whole hot/cold thing. Extremely unhealthy and destructive. There is a cycle of domestic violence where people get along, have a honeymoon phase,…

Charlie needs to be abducted next season, so the plot can revolve around finding her and not, actually, seeing her on the screen. Or she needs to spend the off season invested in some serious acting training.

Uh, no, that's worse. We (homosapiens) emerged about 100 thousand years ago. The genus Homo is a couple million years old.

In any event, we should be dead. Virus sized microbes that can enter our body and absorb electricity=brain death and heart failure, respectively.

I liked this episode, I needed a break in the tone.

it made me feel old, lol. For what it was, it wasn't bad… Gimmicky, but not bad.

The entire pilot has enough cliches for half a series of Grey's anatomy. It was like a cliche generator on crack.

The story works better if you read the book first so you can synthesize the information.

Couldn't leave until the clock started moving. It seems, before Emma showed up, they were all locked inside a groundhog day type existence, with no one changing but Henry (and how does that work, anyway? One kid ages, everyone else stays the same, and Regina's just like, hey kid, that's how life works?)
