JimK:  Can someone explain to me how a professional television creation team sees the season premier of this show after post production and editing, then sees episode 2 in the can and thinks “Oh, yeah, those are totally the same thing.  Let’s just put that out.”

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?  All the action and tension and beautiful direction of the first episode went away.  The story was packed full of holes and stupid things and deus ex machinas and just bad.  I checked the writing credits.  You can really tell that Josh Friedman did not write this script. here’s where I get confused: He’s the frigging executive producer.  Did he not notice that Emo John was back, that Sarah was acting stupid, that the plot was a string of utterly stupid deus ex machinas and that you can’t just drive 45 miles an hour into the front gates of a fucking nuclear power plant, even when the alarms are going off?  ESPECIALLY when the alarms are going off!?!?

Serious dip in quality between last week and this week.  We’re right back to the show that is equal parts kick ass Terminators and weak-ass soap opera scripting.  I want Natalie Chaidez to lose her job.  Unfortunately she;s already credited with 8 episodes this season.

Get used to Emo John even though he lost his trademark fringe.  Leader of the resistance my ass.  He couldn’t lead Pete Wentz to the Mac counter at Macy’s.  I am disappointed, and not looking forward to more of Natalie Chaidez’s terrible scripts.
