Jamoche June 1, 2014 Share June 1, 2014 I can't get past the "13 months totally alone". No, that's not why they "call it a solo mission". Solitary confinement is usually considered torture, not a job description. Then there's the logistics. 13 months on a space station, no resupply ships? Because that wouldn't count as totally alone. And if something goes wrong while she's up there - she breaks a leg or something - she has no backup? It's just so completely illogical I can't even start. Pushing Halle's Oscar in the trailers isn't helping either - this looks so bad, it just reminds me she's also a Razzie winner. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3744-extant-in-the-media/#findComment-96092

HalcyonDays August 27, 2014 Share August 27, 2014 I think the scheduling for Extant is being modified to ensure all episodes air before the regular Fall TV season starts (and thus competing against Extant). Based on the schedule I've seen, the show's season finale will be September 10th, so mostly finished before other shows start. It makes sense - keep the focus on the show and end with a bang. I do think it will be renewed. It's doing decent numbers for a summer replacement show. Actually, if season 2 starts up in January I would watch. Of course, I cannot think of any other show that I care to watch on Wednesdays. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3744-extant-in-the-media/#findComment-326246

In fact, it looks exactly like one of the old NASA shuttles during the launch, despite the fact that all the shuttles used by the ISEA in space all appear to be much cooler, new and improved versions of the Shuttle Molly goes into space to the Seraphim station and meets up with Sean (at least someone that appears to be Sean, but who knows) Molly goes medieval on Alien Katie's ass Ethan meets the Offspring What is with that stupid spacesuit Molly is wearing with that incredibly bright light right in front of her face ? That makes no sense at all. Whenever a promo indicates that someone makes "the ultimate sacrifice", they are implying that someone dies or kills themselves for a nobler cause, but it rarely pans out that way. Marcus appears to Molly -- again. The Seraphim station explodes Ethan is at the ISEA headquarters, screaming from behind a table covered in broken glass. I'm thinking some shit goes down at ISEA.
