I didn’t realize I hadn’t issued a final verdict on this show. I think it’s probably because I can’t quite decide whether this show is worth watching or not. I watch it with my husband who also enjoys scifi shows, but somehow it still hasn’t hooked me. I think it has to do with the fact that there is hardly ever any downtime on the show. It starts off at full speed and barely ever slows down. Flashforward, on the other hand, allows for touching more-important-for-character-development-than-plot scenes which makes it work better on the whole.
The other problem with this show (yes, I know it’s a remake) is that it doesn’t feel new. It doesn’t feel like it has come up with any innovative ideas. Where BSG was full of shockers, this one is well…not. Even the plot “twists” seem tired.
On the other hand, my husband and I feel like we need one more sci-fi-ish show to complete our lineup and Lost hasn’t started up yet.
Final Verdict: Mixed Bag. Once Lost starts again will be watched mainly by hardcore V fans.
