Miss Fergusson has that permanent pensively confused look trying to mask her agitation, when she is not trying to display agitation while being confusingly pensive, that is

What I'm trying to say is her acting range is not that great, the fact that I'm somehow begrudgingly discovering only now. Sad

And in this season her character is fighting her familiar from Mission Impossible not LLM Smile in the settings which remind Fallout TV series more and more with those flashbacks sprinkled over episodes' runtime.

She is a poor actress with zero range.

The whole amnesia thing as also frustrating as hell. Why do we have to retread ground we already covered.

Truth be told - season 1 was really good. Season 2 the writing took a massive dive.

It’s not an amnesia. It’s a big plot device from the book. Looks like they are merging storylines from the book to Silo 18. If my link between plot lines is correct, I suspect it is used to explain a certain quality with Jules and/or Silo 17.

What do you think about the writing quality taking a dip? Do you feel the same?

I'm not sure. I like the series, but now I like the books a lot more. The show's writers are consulting with the book's author, so the changes made are not necessarily bad. And the spirit of the books is really preserved, at least so far. Thinking about the first book, which the first two seasons are based on, it seems to me that they only had material for a season and a half, and had to pad somewhat some stories to be able to end how they ended the second season. Now it remains a mystery how they will tackle the second and third book, and I feel like they are condensing some stories, moving pieces from one storyline to another. The second book is my favorite, and it would be a shame to lose any of it, but I understand why they might not be able to implement it as told in the book. So they'd have to bring parts of the third book, which is years after the second, but can't be for the show.

I know a lot of people didn't like the jumps between the two silos, but that's how it is in the book. I felt the book did it slightly better and Solo was less annoying, but that could be me not liking Steve Zahn Laughing I still think season 2 was good, but like I said, somewhat padded.

If what I suspect will happen in season 3 and 4, a LOT is about to happen. So if you were bored in 2, you might not be with the next two seasons.

s3 is meh so far, at this point the show is best when it reveals something like the season finales and the rest kinda boring. s2 ended strong but these scenes in s3 are so uninterestingly done except for that plane sequence

feels disjointed like s2 all over again, should have started with a full episode with these new characters and build from that, lost all the momentum again

They are condensing the story of two books into two relatively short seasons. They have to introduce a whole new cast of characters with … consequential … motivations, plot devices that will be relevant in silo times AND move the silo 17/18 story (which is in the third book). The second book takes almost half its length going through the "before times", the characters, their motivations, their relationships, the events, etc., then spends the second half fleshing out even more. What exactly do you expect to happen in two episodes of television content?

Perhaps you should watch the retarded "recap" from braindeadshot at the end of the show.

they are sure taking their time then

but another problem is the lack of interesting characters, the show started really strong with david oyelowo and rashida jones but rebecas character is a bit meh maybe its her acting sometimes but the rest of the cast feel second characters. tim robbins is great though

and cant help that the show can be very eerie and atmospheric at times but also looks like a syfy show other times

I had a feeling when watching season 2 on a weekly basis that this show is meant to be binged. So this time, I'm going to wait until the entire season airs, then watch it in like 2 or 3 sittings. Will see if it's more effective/interesting that way.

I think im gonna do the same, I watched the first two and while it does build intrigue it's another plot staller cheap trick. I've read about how amnesia was used in the books and it's a different character in another story. The way it's used here should not exceed 3 episodes. If it goes on for the majority of the season then most of it will be a waste.
