  1. Would that not be considered breaking the Prime Directive. They are not a Federation world and that is part of their culture. And it's not a dirty little secret that a few is keeping from the many. It's not like the Federation would free the poor inhabitants from the evil of the the corrupt and domineering top cast. If anything, the fact that a colony exists indicated that the population has started to realize that the practice is wrong and barbaric. It will just takes more then a few years to cleans conditioning. Also, as Alora said, it's not as if they didn't try to find alternatives and given how advance their medicine is, I doubt the Federation would help. I mean, as gruesome it sounds, I think the Vulcan proverb applies here - The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one. Save one child and doom a whole planet. Now if we knew that it's all just a lie, and that the Floating Paradise would not crush down onto the rivers of lava, that is another story.
  2. I was just coming here to right that. Literary rip off one of the best short stories I've ever read.
  3. I am really giving this show a hard try, given how much I love the source material, the movies and adore the Hannibal tv show, but I don't see this going the distance in it's current state. All those versions had that special ingredient, the dynamic between Hannibal and Clarice/Will. This show is really lacking that. It's trying desperately to compensate with Buffalo Bill imaginary and Catherine Martin, but it's coming of as just drab. Frankly, CBS showed how nearsighted they were when they denied NBC the rights to use Clarice, because I have no doubt that we would have had Hannibal in this show now, teased maybe just as a guest appearance, but it would have worked. This way, they can only make vague references and nothing else.
  4. I'm convinced that the mother had something to do with the killings. He probably killed the victims, but they were either a killing team or she was in on parts of it. I also thought she might have been the one in the truck, some kind of kinky game they played. He could have taken the fall for her, or maybe that was their plan, that at least one of them remains free with the kids. Or, it's a all a red harring.
  5. I wonder, what is potentially the plan for season two if this show gets it? More of this story, like the trail, or another high profile case for Maya to tackle. Maybe they can leave the identity of her mystery stalker for season two to be the foundation of that story.
  6. She used that wire to unlock a drawer in the FBI command center and steal a burner cell phone. Which she used at the end of the episode to called that KBG agent and asked to be connected to Tal.
  7. There had to be more to the story the "I did it for my daughter" - Erika has been far too shifty since the start of the show. And I'm not surprised that she probably worked for/with Tal in some capacity, undercover or was flipped. Besides her story, which I find has some dramatic and suspenseful potencial, the left of the show and cast leaves me bored.
  8. Besides being the clear OJ clone story, this show really reminds me of a 1998 movie Shadow of Doubt with Melanie Griffith and Tom Berenger. I'm on episode two, but I keep thinking that the actor didn't kill the new girlfriend. He is defiantly guilty for those murders from 10 years ago, but this one I think he is being set up. I do love the little inside tidbit - the guy who plays the lawyer Wolf, played the Wolf in one of my favorite shows of all time, the 10th Kingdom. That has to be an inside joke. Out of the three new shows I'm watching - Whiskey Cavalier , The Enemy Within and this one, The Fix seams the least half baked. WC really disappointing me with the quality of storytelling, not to mention that it's almost more a comedy then drama.
  9. I like it when shows do something unexpected, and that was certainly unexpected, but IMO a huge mistake. They killed off the most likable and frankly best female character in the show. Not to mention that I was convinced that Nolan and the captain were the endgame couple. She was my favorite character. I'm quite miffed to be honest. It somewhat ruined a pretty good and solid first season of the show.
  10. It was a decent pilot, but the ending was rushed as hell - we needed to see them become a team officially. And I think they made a mistake of making Gigi just a cheater. I would have integrated her as fellow spy, or one working for another nation using Will. it would have created more tension and drama later, she would gate in-between the two of them, etc... Chuck really did it perfectly. As for the leads, they had sufficient chemistry.
  11. I binged the whole thing in 3 days. It's like a hybrid of Event Horizon, Alien and the Thing. The flashbacks are hit or miss, most of them have no real effect on the present, except for Lana's of course. The cast is really good all around, my favorites were Shun (he is a standout, and I think this is his first role ever, so great work), Lana (she has some really complex silent work, particularly in her flashback and the finale), Katie and Logan (he especially gets really good as the show goes). It's fairly predictable, I mean, I two first guesses for the parasites host were the the person who had a really shady past and the person who had the parasite. Some of the characters make such stupid decisions, and most of them pay for it with their lives. Has a few really good jump scares. The production is great, given that it's a YT original. All in all, I enjoyed it immensely, and am looking froward to season 2, given the ending.
  12. So , is Nyssa Jax-Ur's daughter with Vex, or is she here mint condition clone ? She looks like aspitting image of her, she could grow up to look just like Jax-Ur, and I don't remember if they shared a scene on the show.
  13. If the bones are Katarina's, that has no effect on Jennifer's life whatsoever, and as we heard this discovery is crucial to her as well. I think it's become obvious that the only thing that the bones can mean is that the Red we know is not the real Redington. He killed him and assumed his identity. The Lizz obsession is a question. If our Red is her biological father, then he changed the DNA sample and she is his daughter with Katarina - whomever he was, probably a russian spy. But if she is the daughter of the real Redington that he killed, why is he obsessed with Lizz when her being Redington's kid didn't make him obsesses over Jennifer ? Is it pathological, that she was Katarina's daughter with another man, and by killing him and assuming his identity he is taking everything that was once Redington's. He wants her because he couldn't have Katarina.
  14. I'm finding Nyssa Vex to be the most compelling presence on the show right now. She isn't boring and bland like Seg, Adam or Lyta, and the actress is stunning. Is she an original character or does she have a DC counterpart ? I know she and Seg have already conceived a child, a Vex, but what is the possibility she will be the mother or Jor El. I mean, it clearly won't be Lyta and the only other prominent woman was the chick that Seg saved in this episode and Zod called her very important. But that actress left zero impression on me so,... I hope not.
  15. I'm the biggest Regina/Evil Queen stan, but I got to agree, Lana can't sing. Her songs are the weakest vocally and lyrically to be honest, not to mention those dance moves - yicks. The Charmings duet REALLY impressed me, it can actually be in a Disney animated classic. And Ginny sounds good. And while I found Hook's voice kinda weak in strength, his song is unbelievably catchy. I can't stop singing Revenge, Revenge, Revenge in my head. The Wicked song is also rather weak lyrically but Becks has a nice voice. The rest are all rather decent. Frankly, the musical part of the episode came out much better they I thought it would. I haven't watched the show this season at all since the premier, but I may be tempted to binge all, what 19 episodes, to get this musical extravaganza.
