    It’s still not a great show, but it’s better and just plain livelier than it was in its first run last summer.

    Looking into some murders that remind Molly of what she learned last season, Berry and [Jeffrey Dean] Morgan have the makings of a strong team. It also helps that the intriguing Gummer is still around, and that the cast now includes David Morrissey as a General who's in charge of an international security team. The Season 2 opener doesn't make it particularly clear, but apparently, we're still in for some blather about threats to humankind, global conspiracies, and blah, blah, blah.

    It’s possible the Berry-Morgan pairing will produce the right DNA to justify CBS’ decision to give this show about possible human extinction a second shot at life, but based on the available evidence, these recombinations might have birthed a different sort of series, but not a measurably improved one.

Because it is the smallest number with the green color in it... C'mon, the show ditches Goran Visnjic, my favorite character (by far) and expects it to leave me numb in substitution for another actor. What am I? The lifeless android kid everyone loves on the show? Well, I am not - and therefore I am reacting vigorously. Dr John was the perfect character for the sci-fi series, and besides, he played a good husband to Halle Berry's role. I just don't understand what the producers were thinking, or maybe not thinking when they decided to let go the true genius in the whole series. I hope that there is a cure that will make Jeffrey Dean Morgan intellectually capable like Einstein....… Full Review »

The new season is AWESOME. The cop is kind of cliche but alright. And the new robot is EPIC.… Full Review »

So silly and stupid it's hard to believe the actors can make their way through with it holding straight faces. The concept is the only thing that made it stand out.… Full Review »
