At least AMC is also streaming the originals.  UK broadcast order.  I don't know what to make of the trailer for the new version.  It smells faintly of the '84 film version of "The Razor's Edge."

Oh I enjoy this show.  Weebs will attempt to ruin it, but it won't be able to be ruined.

Weebs enhances things for me. When I know he dislikes something it's like getting the green light from Atheismo his own personal self.

Did I not say I like this show?  And if that's the case, doesn't that mean it's going to suck?

[Dr. Nguyen Van Falk]

I'm gonna go ahead and pull a Chuck/Weebs by preemptively predicting, after just two episodes, that this show's great premise will be irredeemably marred by a disappointingly poor execution.

Hell, it's beginning to border on boring already.

I may yet give it a chance to play out (perhaps if they promise more Cameron Frye and 100% no more of that fucking comedy angel of death from MadTV), but I'm afraid RV is totally right above about the clunky dialogue.

And then there's the... creepy dolls?

Seriously?

Who do they think we are? ChuckDickens?

(I especially liked that the photos of the dolls posted on his flash-forward John Forbes Nash bulletin board were labeled with a card that said "Baby Doll Photographs." Just to make everything totally clear.)

Charlie Brooker raises a brilliant point:

The fun comes in spotting flaws in the narrative. Such as: if everyone experienced the same bit of "future", how come their future selves didn't seem aware the flash forward was going to happen? They were sitting in meetings, or running around, or watching TV. Nobody saw themselves saying "Ooooh, this is the bit I saw six months ago".

Is anybody still watching this show?  I can't decide if it's still good or not.

I'm still watching. They seem to be moving the story along so it's kept me interested. Also, there was the first instance of someone changing their future and not following the flash forward, so that opens up some possibilty.
