I think season 1 was amazing. Season 2 just hasn't had the flair that season 1 had, but I'm still watching it. Still giving it a chance.



Season 2 has been nuts wtf are you watching lol

I really don't like the theme of all of those women being ruthless leaders, sacrificing people by the droves and that they are often portrayed as physically more capable than men. All the women when they lead are making the 'right' choices and all the men are making the 'wrong' choices it seems too. It starts to feel like an ok story laced on feminists idolisation of women. feminist dogma in popular media, meh.

gotta give it to them though, they tuned it down enough to make it not totally irritating.

what bothers me most about the radiation part is that they think that it's credible that the human body, when fixed with a few adaptive genes, can metabolize fast enough to counter the cellular damage of that radiation. If regular people burn up in few minutes, then there is NO GENE that will save you, not now not ever in the future.

just my 2cents of criticism, deal with it or move on.


:rofl: great criticism for a show that is make believe. So, where is your time machine to know what can and can not exist in the future? Oh wait, you are being sarcastic.

Just my 2 cents of criticism about your intellect raging a make believe show and posting a make believe time machine you have. Get over it and enjoy it for what it is, make believe.

I like the pace of this show, there is always something going on and they don't have entire episodes as filler

no need for a time machine to know the rates at which cells repair in a human body. No need for a time machine which genes factor for mitosis, that it is mostly a hormonal system and that it takes time to activate the genes to produce the hormones that then signal the cells to divide and in that manner repair the loss of cells due to the destruction of all that radiation. These genes are the same that are failing if you happen to get cancer. Either the amount of growth hormones are out of controll or the growth inhibition hormones are absent or reduced in quantity. Also i thought it was kinda common knowledge, but i guess i was wrong about that.
your 2 cents show that you don't like my knowledge on the matter and project the 'raging' onto me. You're pissed i bursted your bubble. Also funny is that you seem to think that because it's fiction that it's silly to criticise it. Bye now.

:rofl: you have knowledge about what science is today... give yourself a big whack on the back. It is a show... it is make believe and you want to make an issue out of what you know presently... stop trying to hide your incompetence in replying like this, it makes you look like a person that does not like losing, you have to try and win when you clearly lost and most of all, you criticise it to make yourself feel better. Simple truth is this, you don't like it... don't watch it. Either way you look at it, you won't get disappointed by not watching it, and you won't have to criticise it.

You are funny.

You are right about not having to watch that show. The rest is false assumptions and illogical. As i stated before, yes it's fiction, but for it to be entertaining, it should not be so much in the face of things that clearly cannot be. It hinders the ability to get into the story.
The rest of your assumptions about my person show that you are used to not argue on point, but rather make false assumptions about someone and then sling that as mud to that person.
You are funny too

"The proof is in the pudding" my dear lad.

You agree that it is fiction... you disagree by your own standards that the information the show is portraying is NOT feasable with real science. It is NOT entertaining to you, because you want the fictitious TV show to show relevence to the science that you understand? Is that the gist of the matter? If it is, my assumptions are right on target... you clearly are wanting to continue a debate that you clearly have no clue how to respond to without making accusations about my post.

My initial post quoting you is simple really. "Don't criticise a fictional show with reality". Don't get me wrong, me and my brother-in-law have had many discussions about how he over analyzes fictional shows... and shit he has some real whoppers... just like Wolverine riding his Motorcycle and slashing the tyres of an oncoming vehicle would literally rip his arm off, automatically turn his motorcycle into the oncoming vehicle and face planting it etc... yup... I had to tell him to take a chill pill and watch it for what it is.

Tell your bro that if he accepts Adamantium in that fictional universe, he shouldn't bitch about wolverine slicing the tires of an oncoming truck. In that universe, it actually makes sense.


Whereas the bone marrow transplant that magically makes people heal radiation wounds instantly is far fetched (aka, no fucking way that shit is happening). Especially not with the circumstances they are in.

If you think about it a little, you have what seems to be 1 doctor and a few aids at the most. A doctor that didn't actually go to med school, but was taught by another doctor (who also most certainly didn't go to med school), and you go up that chain for however long they were stuck in that mountain.

With scarce resources, knowledge of a super complicated science passed on by few individuals and hardly any room for innovation when your primary focus is to survive, the chances of 1 or a couple of poorly trained doctors making scientific discoveries that would literally make science appear like magic is zero.

When you watch sci-fi or fantasy, they present to you elements that you HAVE to accept as part of that universe. Adamantium for example. Or genetic mutations that give people powers. Or incredible (yet still credible) advancements in space travel. Once you've accepted those elements, the rest must still feel like it's real.

That bone marrow transplant feels like bullshit to me too. I just choose to ignore it. Not everyone will do the same.

What year is the show set in? Who is to say it isn't a couple hundred years in the future and science has advanced far beyond where we are now? Perhaps they mention the year at some point but I don't remember
