I'm going to have to watch this. Don't have HBO at the time, but I'll get to it down the line.

out of all the shows it's a mush up of X-men stands on top, 1 character is a walking Eureka! show, and everything else is sprinkled aboutHaving seen up through the latest episode I'd say the comparison is a bit looser than it was at first but still holds up, though the vibe is somewhat different - and, also, there's buckets of sex and violence thrown in that Claremont never could have gotten away with. That said, I'd still describe the series broadly as steampunk X-Men with the serial numbers filed off, so if that's appealing to you I think you'll dig the hell out of it.
I'll also agree with everyone else who noted that the big fight scene in Episode 3 was top notch. That was a great sequence and did an amazing job of capturing super powers on screen.
Also, love the avatar!

Too early to say but my ranking so farIf I really liked His Dark Materials and Carnival Row, would I like this? Aesthetically it seems similar, I dunno.
Cool, gonna give it a shot tonightToo early to say but my ranking so far
His Dark Materials
The Nevers (there are some slow parts in couple of episodes )
Carnival Row
So, is Tru more like aBooster Gold time traveler? or T-800? Or did she get "left behind" from the ship thing, is she actually an alien?
So how involved is Whedon in the show? Did his involvement end after the pilot?
I'm surprised to see the mostly positive reaction to it, so I'm thinking of checking it out in the future, but I don't want to support a show if Whedon is actively involved.

It is still under "Mutant Enemy Productions" which is Whedon's company so I assume he is going to keep making money off of it. Plus any residuals as the show creator.He's off the show now. Not sure if he still makes money off it. But all the people working hard on the show deserve support too.
Can't remove the created by tag so he'll get some sort of money for thatHe's off the show now. Not sure if he still makes money off it. But all the people working hard on the show deserve support too.
This has been my impression as well. There is enough other talent outside of Whedon that this show has to offer. I've really dug the cast, and I'm excited to see where they continue with the story now that he is out (assuming we'll get another season written by someone else).Its so difficult when a work gets tainted by someone like Whedon, because if you like it, you still want to support everyone involved. With hugely collaborative projects like movies and television shows, it can be worth supporting for the other writers, cast members, and crew if they've put together something good.
I understand the sentiment. A lot of other decent hardworking folk contribute, and the main irritant is not part of it going forward... I guess everyone just has to do their own support calculus. Four episodes in, show is fairly compelling.Its so difficult when a work gets tainted by someone like Whedon, because if you like it, you still want to support everyone involved.

he probably has director or writing credit on episode 6I feel you. My relief was on the rise as we went from episode to episode and his credit waned. By episode 4, I was like "whew".
there has been a time jump since the last episode so i assume True gave them a vague name for the thing she came withI don't remember, was the name "Galanthi" mentioned before? They just casually started talking about it in the latest episode. I assume has something to do with that underground light sphere.
I was thrown by this tooI don't remember, was the name "Galanthi" mentioned before? They just casually started talking about it in the latest episode. I assume has something to do with that underground light sphere.
I feel this story was heavily inspired by the Wild Card series of G.R.R Martin.
Are my shipping goggles out of sync or did the Mrs. True/Doctor Cousens sex scene feel out of the blue? I mean, there's a lot of information that's just thrown at us this past episode so it's just par the course right now.
I mean. The I heard a rumor guy and her was always on scenes together. So he shows up she has to be accounted for. She was obsessed and wanted to be a turned so to get treated like one must have been great for herThey are doing a bunch of things that don't really make sense or fit the character, but that's the show so I can learn to live with it.
The twist ending of the last episode had me confused, so I had to read a review to clear it up.
The double that died as Malady was her insane follower that cut off her toes. I didn't remember the toe part so I couldn't figure out who would intentionally kill themselves for Malady. I wish they had reminded us because I was just so confused when the detective was doing his Chazz Palmiteri Usual Suspects scene.
They implied they slept with each other before in episode 2 I believeAre my shipping goggles out of sync or did the Mrs. True/Doctor Cousens sex scene feel out of the blue? I mean, there's a lot of information that's just thrown at us this past episode so it's just par the course right now.
episode was ok.
weird finale next episode already. the season didn't feel like it's ramping up to something. it felt like it just started
To be fair, this is the end of Part 1. Part 2 is set to arrive sometime later this year. This Sunday is more like a mid season finale.
