Loved the last EP. It was great seeing that annoying kid getting his legs chewed up (sometimes I have a real cruel streak in me). :p

 

Why, oh why didn't that hunk-o-junk diving "bell" they made implode when it sank into the "hole" in the ocean floor? It seemed to me they went down quite far. :thinking:

especially as there's a crack in the window - surely once that happened (before they completely went down) it would have got worse as pressure increased?

 

I can only think that the volcano hole somehow has lower pressure??

Maybe the heat from the "volcano hole" kept the pressure inside stable against the outside force. Maybe like putting a balloon over the neck of a bottle and heating the bottom???

 

...and then again...maybe the writers simply rewrote the laws of physics!?!

That'swhat I'm thinking, and at this point I've invested enough in this show to ignore a few laws of physics just to get some satisfaction. All this edge of your seat stuff has got to stop unless they can push me all the way out of the chair.

I agree! And...I want to know if that guy's brother is still alive down in that "volcano hole" somewhere!

well since this show is SCI-FI (science-fiction) i think that it is the writters porogitive to stretch the relms to possibility for good TV... i mean WARP drive, and transporters, they are cool, but theoretically impossible!

 

This show is great... pitty about the male lead... he is rather poorly written, and can be irritating at some points... but then again he did loose his brother, so maybe it is a mental thing... atleast he has not been tempted by the lead female... once that happens i will abandon this show!

Yeah, but a layman can look at the idea of warp drive and transporters and think - maybe someday...who knows.

 

I think most ppl woulld look at that submersible they built and say the same as me.

If you go back and look at some of the EPS you'll notice a few "glances" her way. Why would her "tempting" him bother you so much that you would stop watching?

tempting him would not stop me from watching it... however him giving in would annoy me..

 

Oh. Ok.

That guys wife is a pain in the behind, he ought to break it off with her and hook up with Dr. Hottie. I don't condone cheating, so he should call her first and say "You are Gonzo!" He acts a little crazy/distraught right after his brother dies and the woman leaves him after he quit his job? I think that was the sequence...I'm not bitter towards women, just women like her.

As for the last few episodes, they have picked up and all the crap that happens to those two, it's enough to send you screaming, they just get out of one jam and another crops up. I didn't watch eps 9-11 untill last night, I wanted more to watch and cliff hangers kill me.

I thought the kid who had Nimrod was the lead male o_O seriously, they put alot of emphasis on him and the little squirt that I figured he'd play a major part.

 

Offtopic from the male lead thing but, I know I'm not the only one that feels sorry for Nim ;( Poor little guy even though he's just CGI he's so darn cute. Talk about a baby alligator growing up..he'll grow up the be bigger than most whales >_<

I agree. Her husband just lost a brother and he's quite messed up and she acts like a freakin' turd! I say ditch her too!!!

Its interesting to see from E1x12 that the creatures are genetically designed. We can now see the secret governments reason for trying to cover things up. Makes you wonder how they think they can cover it up though when the creatures start to eat large numbers of people or considering they have legs start walking on land to feed (leaving aside the physical possiblity of this) ;)

there's a 4 episode back to back mini marathon coming this Tuesday, Janurary 17th at 7pm EST on the Sci Fi channel. not sure which 4 episodes but hey, it's a nice chance to get into the show if you've missed it so far.

It doesn't add up really. They get video footage of all the creatures from deep below, spread it to all the news networks, newspapers and such yet no one believes them. They even got Nim in a marine center as proof yet all the media is saying its a hoax. You can't tell me the scientist guys working on Nim haven't read a newspaper, or turned on CNN or something.

i've downloaded the first two episodes and quite enjoy it. but the video seems to stop to early i.e. before the end credits, thus i do not know if it is stoping at the end. i think it is near the end possibly 5 or 10 more seconds left. it cuts out during the shooting star scene (ep1) and while the monster is just coming out of the water to swallow the boat (ep2).

 

Its really bugging me, anyone else having this problem???

I think it's all about presentation Mav...

 

Besides, the implication of the MSNBC thing was that it wasn't THAT widespread... but yes, it seems strange that none of them have gone "hey! look at that."

 

If that doesn't happen sooner rather than later... of course, given that the creatures on the newsreport were about 100m long vs. the critters, it's perhaps not surprising.

If you downloaded it here, you haven't missed anything, it was tight editing for someone, thay's all and you'll find that's how alot of the action/freaky scenes are, they cut you off before your brain can calculate what it saw. Eventually I'll stick one torrent for the whole season out there without "Previously on Surface...".

Episode 13 can be picked up - Go here, it's fast right now because of seeders.

Now it's really getting good, my complaint now is not being able to get enough of it. I hope they don't get greedy and try taking this to next season.
