This is all a dream! :)


OMG! Over ten episodes in and this is what we know: 1) A plane disappeared and landed about five years later, 2) The passengers have some kind of visions or "callings". That's it!

The acting is atrocious - a bunch of no-names, and the worst one is the protagonist - Melissa Roxburgh! The continuity is actually funny - Roxburgh's hair is most distracting - sometimes it appears in as many as three different positions in the same scene - behind her ear; all the way forward almost covering her right eye, and a number of positions in between.

Maybe it's a dream?

I'm giving it ONE more episode - then I'm bailing!

It's over anyway. Looks like it will be cancelled.

I'm interested in seeing if in fact it will be cancelled. I made it about five episodes in and then bailed. The pilot showed promise, I though, but it just steadily went downhill from there.

I know the creators said that they have a story arc that would unfold over six seasons or something like that, and that just seemed like a joke to me.

Still though, the ratings continue to be fairly good so I could see it getting one more season.

Six seasons??? That IS a joke.

Yeah. A six season slow burn.

GTFO. No one wants to see that. They should've made it a 10-episode limited series focused intently on the central mystery of the time jump and then it might've been an interesting show.

Amen, Bro! Although the season ending cliff hanger was pretty cool.

That would be a mercy killing.

I'm right at the point of bailing myself.
