Corona | Coming Attractions

I caught this on Hulu yesterday, wasn't bad, was kinda like X-Files but with a bit of quirkyness mixed in here and there. Definately hope they upload more episodes to the net. Sadly I have no cable TV so gotta rely on net TV.

I'm about halfway through it before falling asleep. Not the show's fault, though. I was tired and finished off Torchwood first. So far, it's not bad, but I'm not really engaged yet.

Finished it. I'll check out the next few episodes at least. I'm not fully on board, but it took a few for Dollhouse to hook me as well.

I've watched a couple of episodes. It's OK. Kind of fluffy, which is alright for summer fare. Not as good as Eureka, though.

Fluffy. That's a good description. The shows don't have to be dark, like the X-Files. In fact, I'm glad it's not an X-Files clone, but some of the stuff almost seems to border on cheesey.
It's fun, but forgettable.

from what I saw of the pilot (namely the final 15 minutes) it looked like a quest to round up all the cursed objects ALA Friday the 13th: The series

i'll have to watch the entire pilot and first episode.

That's sort of what it is, Phil. I've never seen an episode of Friday the 13th, but that's exactly the plot. The objects aren't necessarily cursed, but "dangerous."

I think it's the greatest show ever! The main character's humor rivals that of other greats: Spongebob, Elmo, and Bozo. It's easy for me to understand too!

I think you're maligning Spongebob, Elmo and Bozo.
The new chick is hot. I bet she has hardwood floors. I like that.

I wasnt implying that they actually were "cursed" objects... but yeah, dangerous i got from the short clip I saw... I havent watched it since but its all on Demand so i'll catch it later.

It continues to be amusing and interesting enough to keep me tuning in. It's still not exceptionally compelling, but it's amusing and enjoyable.

Sci/fi had really started to make "Suck TV" with their original regular shows (Flash Gordon, painkiller Jane and Tremors: the series to name a few) then BSG came along, then Eureka and things started to pick up for them... I hope its decent because they really need a rebound or else i'll start calling this the Stargate channel...

Season Finale tonight. I've enjoyed this run. I've liked it more since Claudia showed up. It's improved somewhat over the course of the season, and I've enjoyed it. It's not terribly compelling television, but it's fun enough to have kept me watching.

Not really feelin' the season finale very much. Didn't like the betrayal, and I didn't like the cliffhanger. It just felt as though it tried too hard to be big and all twist-y, and it wasn't organic.
