Just could never catch the magic of S1.....

And the latest installment did little to change that. I found myself fast-forwarding through a lot of unnecessary dialogue and IMO the big reveal of the scientist at the end was an big letdown/flop. If this is the way these are going to be going forward I say put this baby to sleep.

S1 was good but not near the level everyone puts it at. The series was new and different at the time. So it was surprising.

Watching it now, there are just as a many dead spots. Also poorly written characters, such as the wife.

It also had a big occult, magical component that everyone lets pass and yet squawk about it being in S4.
