I just don't know, show seems to be lacking something. I hope they DO something soon.

I get the feeling that the writers were disheartend by the lack of backing (or was it because of the Q factor, Q as in likeability of an actor) for the Chloe character that they decided to needed make her a mutant.

Rush, sees every one as a tool. ;)
 

I agree, the show is missing something. I think they were trying for something gritty, like BSG.

The problem is, everybody's pretty depressing, and nothing really happens.

Plus, everybody's priorities are totally messed up, like they're on a reality show with some big money prize if they can just vote a few more people off the island.

Why is anybody jockeying for command of the ship. Nobody's in control of the ship anyway.

If Chloe was captured by the same aliens as Rush, and she's wandering off and doing stuff, and they are wondering where Rush has wandered off to all the time, why haven't they come to the same conclusion that he's infected too?
 

The episode was pretty good - I liked the Wray and Eli stories a lot in the episode. I thought Rush's "Hallways of Equations" was pretty neat, and making Chloe relevant is nice.

No miraculous return of the Seeder people? While I don't buy for a second that Telford won't return, I'm impressed they didn't pull the trigger on it immediately. Thumbs up.

Volker and Park can't find Rush and immediately need Eli? From what we've been shown they do more of the ship operations than Eli does. I get Eli is smart - and if I didn't, the anvil drop by Wray sure informed me. Still, it didn't ring true to me.

I'm glad they actually decided to do something with her character, versus having her stand around and be generally annoying at best.

In fact, I seem to be liking a bunch of characters more this season, not just Chloe. Especially Wray - who would have guessed?.

Because for some reason the expect us to believe Rush is a flawed hero? At least in the first season he was mostly just a jerk. Honestly, if this season doesn't end with Rush getting beaten and ostracized I'll have to call foul.

At least Young appears to be listening somewhat - after Wray's castigation last episode he's actually letting them out. I have some hope that this is the start of an actual story arc. That is, Young starts trusting people and letting them help. It would be a nice contrast to Rush being a loner.
 

The writers need to make a lot more happen in each episode if most of what is going to happen is relatively mundane or focused on just a few characters. That felt like a half episode or less stretched to fill the time. Tighten it up, I say.

Did Lost in Space's Dr. Smith ever get beaten and ostracized? :)
 

Hulu.com said:
Subsequent episodes will become available 30 days after their original airdates.

What. The. Hell.

Why are they delaying episodes for a full freakin' month now?
 

Hulu (and Apple and Amazon) is having as much trouble with the various TV networks as Netflix (and Apple and Amazon) is having with the movie studios. This wacky new world of on-demand video will take quite a while to shake out yet.

My guess is that Hulu Plus will offer the episodes the day after they air.
 

Of the three power-mongers on the show, only Rush seems to be continuing in a moral/ethical decline- Young and even Wray seem to be redeeming themselves a bit this season.

I think it's also interesting that we now have a Lucien Alliance member who is being backed into a serious corner- threatened by the Sgt. and ideologically abandoned by his leader and compatriots. Many creatures in that situation become homicidal/suicidal.
