If this show wants to see a second season then more stuff needs to happen.
Actually, make that something needs to happen!
I could have done laundry and been as up to date.

This show has really started to nosedive for me.
And the thing that really bothers me is the tone of the show. I feel like they can't decide if it's suppose to be a mysterious drama, or a comedic drama, or what. It originally seemed like they were going for the feeling of Lost, but now I'm getting the Grey's Anatomy vibe.

wow, that was boring. Only thing interesting was at the end. Looking more and more like Jericho every ep hope it picks up like jericho did

How about the scene at the beginning of episode where downtown buildings were already smoking just seconds after the park blackout. That seems kind of stupid to me. There are always things I find in these TV shows that don't add up. Still, did like it more.

Yeah, I'm losing interest in this show pretty quickly.
It's like they decided to make a show that would try to get the most amount of viewers possible:
"Mystery" drama + Medical drama + Police procedural = Profit
I'm waiting for a new lawyer character to show up soon.

I'm wondering if we missed something about this. It seemed so crazy last episode when the Nazi was the only one to see dead crows. Could it be that what they're trying to suggest is that Somalia in 1991 is the only place with dead birds because of the incident there, and Germany in 2009 was the only place with dead crows because the incident stemmed from there? I can't recall if they suggested there were dead birds around the entire world...I'm thinking not...

God, the acting and dialogue in this show is horrendous. The scenes between the two doctor were painfully annoying.
Hope it gets better but I'm not expecting much.

I'm really on the fence with this show. I really want to like it so much. They're just not making it easy.
I liked this one much better than last week. But it was mostly because they went away from the formula of chasing blind clues from the future board. Now that it seems that they are going back to that formula, I don't know what to think.
The surprise ending was interesting though.

I'm still wondering how they're going to continue this show past April 29th (or whatever the date is they're all seeing). While watching Fringe I started thinking they could do an alternate reality thing, where people are seeing their future in another dimension rather than their own, but that would be way too close to the plot of Fringe.

Since this seems to have been a controlled event, it is possible that they could have another flash forward. I hope they don't do that, but it is definitely possible.

I made the mistake of watching this on Hulu at like 3am this morning and I fell asleep at my computer. I'm going to have to watch again to get to the end.

Completely agree. Love the premise of the show but it's terribly executed. That particular scene almost made me turn it off, but I'm still interested enough in seeing where the story goes to not abandon yet...barely.
