Dr. Faustus posted:12 Monkeys is difficult because, like the movie, each time Cole is sent back to do something for a mission it fundamentally changes the plot landscape. They've been QUITE savvy at making these changes everything from major unexpected changes in the entire power balance to simple "reset button" and exposing the lengths major characters are willing to go to achieve concerns that change with the time-travel. Isn't this exactly the opposite of the main point of the movie?

I love that they are able to bring actors back, having Tigh in it now is just cherry.

Also great was Emily Hampshire. She can play bonkers crazy well, but when she was getting emotional it was very effective. That's what makes this show up there with Continuum IMO--the great acting. Clever plots, good writing, and skillful directing only go so far, but great acting can really push a show over the top.

drat that episode was so good. I love how now they decided to outright majorly change the future and have an integrated reason for the main characters to still remember what it used to be. And now we're going back to 1944!

It really is a clever show, having a thousand different strings that flow out in every direction yet has the intelligence and craft in the writing to weave them back together seamlessly. There's nothing dumb you have to roll with as a watcher because you enjoy the ride, every little detail ties into another that reinforces the narrative as a whole. Every character has solid motivations and they're all worthy of sympathy, especially Ramse and Deacon, who in a less well written show would have been written off half a season ago. Save the Striking Woman, she needs to get punched in the face and I'm totally looking forward to Doc Jones flooring her.

drat this is such a good show. Nothing more to add given what has already been said about the characters and such. Well other than Striking Woman is indeed striking. Holy moly she's beautiful. Also, I found my purpose made me squeal. As did seeing Col. Tigh again! Edit: Wtf! A.V. Club gave the 2nd episode a C. isaboo fucked around with this message at 23:04 on Apr 27, 2016 |

Continuum is well worth watching. Great characters, cool exploration of time travel, and it actually has a goddamn ending so you won't get blue balled.

He has so many friends in tv production they fall over themselves to get him on their shows so they can work with him, even if it's for a brief cameo.

Off to a goddamn good start this week. Love Tigh/Eckhart rocking out while they work on the machine, followed by Cole and Deke beating the poo poo out of each other with Ramse cheering Cole one. Genuinely funny. Too bad about the pretty blonde lady.

For 12 Monkeys, I would say this episode was one of the most wtf cliff-hangers yet. I have so many questions. When asked, "James Cole, do you have any idea how important you are?" My first thought was, "If I were James I would be extremely frightened of the how and why, considering from whom it was coming." C'mon show, gimme a hint.

So I guess things are cyclical in some way because this past "Primary" was also the crazy kid of a biochemist.
