:lol: That fight between the "bounty hunter" and Flash was terrible: Duck, Duck, Punch, Shove into rift. The writers and the art department need to talk to each other. If they're going to go with the "Mongo has a shortage of water" storyline, maybe the capital city shouldn't have a huge ass waterfall in the middle of it. I must admit, I never thought I would see a tv show steal from pay homage to Ice Pirates and Predator in the same hour.That fight scene was tr?s mauvais and rift sfx was anything but special. I made the Ice Pirates comment to a friend as well when we watched the end of this episode. http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/5508/robothl4.jpg If only they had something original like this robot. :lol:

That fight scene was très mauvais and rift sfx was anything but special. I made the Ice Pirates comment to a friend as well when we watched the end of this episode.

Well, I tuned in for the second episode, trying to convince myself that the level of total ineptitude displayed in the pilot could not be maintained.

I was wrong.

Twenty minutes, over and out. Forever.

I was one of the "it's not THAT bad" defenders of the pilot, but Episode 2 was HORRIBLE. I'm out.

Thanks for helping me with a decision. FG has been sitting on my DVR for two weeks, and I have not been able to marshal the interest to watch it. Might as well erase and make room for, oh, I don't know... Firefly reruns in HD on Universal HD, maybe.
