astrohip March 1 Share March 1 Thoughts so far... I finished the first three episodes last night... It's just average. It needs much tighter editing, I found myself bored at times with the pacing. Perhaps if the writing was sharper the poor editing wouldn't be as noticeable. It's got potential, and I'll keep watching for now. Oddly enough, there's a month-long hiatus after E5 (March 13), until E6 (April 20). I hope it gets better, or it will be a permanent hiatus for me. It would also help if David was played by someone with charisma. They have him as meek and mild-mannered, but so meek that he has little screen presence at times. As contrast, look at Timothée Chalamet in Dune. He plays someone who starts out quiet and mild-mannered also, someone who also didn't know his ultimate fate, but he exudes an aura on-screen that makes him a strong character. You can't but help watch him grow into his hero role. With this David, you feel none of that. Not everyone is TC, but you gotta cast someone who can carry the role. Maybe he'll get better. It also would have helped if he was better looking. You want your heroes to be eye candy (said only slightly tongue-in-cheek).
