Dope season premiere!


Love the new credit graphics, but I miss the old song. I'm loving where the story is going. I love the new character. This is my favorite premiere episode of this summer so far. It left me super pumped to see what happens next. I wish season one were on Netflix I would love to marathon that right now.

I agree. The season started well and i hope it will continue at this quality [or better]. I too miss the season 1 opening. Also i am certain that the new girl will definitely return and stay for good at some point in the future.

I think I like the old credits better than the new "izombie" style montage. But I agree that this premiere killed it! It had almost everything I wanted to see,like Pree and Fancy and snappy banter and a quick resolution to the Davin situation.

And then a few things that didn't know I needed like the new character Clara, a personality for Lucy and the knowledge that one of Pree's old aliases is Big Daddy Scrimshaw! :D You can tell the writers were having some fun.

The fun aspect is what makes the show so enjoyable to watch, too much sci-fi takes itself much to seriously.

Now on to Oldtown, and hopefully Hills and Pawter and Alvis!

About Davin's "immunity", I wonder if his exposure to the nanites on the creepy ship from season 1 is the reason why? If that is the case then Dutch should have the same immunity. Interesting possibilities.

reply

I'm wondering if D'avin's immunity is the result of the experiments the Military did on him in order to make him mind controllable.


Shawn: I solve a case every week and usually one around Christmas

I'm also loving Lucy's personality. "Thank you for the compliment, Clara, you are also attractive... for a human." That was perfect! And agreed on Big Daddy Scrimshaw, that was hilarious. Such a fun show.

Agree 100%.

Great premiere, i usually dislike when they wrap up a cliffhanger so quickly that it doesnt work but this was really well done. Love Klein as the dark grey character and adding a new cast member is usually risky and blatant but this was well done, she is def coming back. Do miss the old main song as well though.

Season one is available on Syfy's site, DM is there also.

I did a mini-marathon of all the episodes starting on Friday (I still have the entire S1 on my DVR), so I only got to see the new one today. Dislike the new opening, but the show is lovely and sexy and stylish and so smart!

When you watch several episodes in a row (especially the second time), you discover all kinds of neat connections, references, allusions, and details. This series is a whole lot better, more tightly written than most stuff on TV. Literally every single episode contributes to the overall story arc. There is not a single story (even those that may seem to you like a 'monster-of-the-week' cheapie at first sight) that is not referenced later on, or does not create consequences they deal with in future stories. (Even in tiny things, like Johnny Jaqobis using the same expression that the hacker girl introduced to him in the previous episode, showing how he learns from every problem he ever comes across.) The characters may be formulaic a 'hint', and the budget is sure as heck pedestrian, but the creators have crafted a well-thought-through, nicely detailed, and intriguing universe. There seem to be some really smart and talented people working on this show, especially in writing.

I cannot help but feel a bit giddy with excitement about it. It's almost like good-ol'fashioned Golden Age space opera has come to life again: it's paperback, cheap-looking, and rather well-worn at the corners, but it's colourful, full of imagination, with some new takes on old ideas, and a youthful spirit that is just plain refreshing.

Besides, guessing what planet/city/club the abandoned quarry/cement factory will stand in for this week also makes a great drinking game...

I'm in complete agreement. The new graphics are fun, but I definitely miss the old song. This new one doesn't scream Killjoys to me.
