I seriously doubt there was a single line of dialog in the entire pilot that hadn't been said 100 times before on TV or on a Michael Bay movie.

My GOD!!! That scene of the father WITH A DAUGHTER, THIS HER!!!! THIS IS A PICTURE OF HER!!!, the CDC guy talked for all of 15 seconds and this malook lunges, slaps him and says 'all you do is talk and talk.'

No sentient being on Earth acts like that. Caricatures do all the time, though.

The crazy old man that they dismiss out of hand, who stops them in their tracks with inside knowledge he couldn't possibly know!!! Caricature CITY!!!!

The CDC dude with important work with thousands of lives at stake who doesn't pay enough attention to his home life. The put upon wife who's moved on to a young punk. The son they both love who she's cruelly trying to take from his father's embrace.

Ugh!!! I am stupider now than I was before watching, I just know it.

If asked, I could have written that pilot in an afternoon, only I fear I would have slit my wrists in despair before getting it to the printers.

And yet, somehow, with all the above totally true...,the 2nd episode is 10x worse! I kinda have to keep watching because it is almost entertainingly bad.

This show is stupid beyond words. CDC can't seem to find a phone to tell anyone he has infectious worms. They imprison the only person who knows anything because, well, I'm not sure. A man flips out about his daughter dying on a plane then doesn't think twice when she shows up (he calls the CDC guy to thank him - not ask wtf someone just randomly dropped his daughter off, not does he inform anyone that she is kind of deadish). A bunch of people who feel crappy would rather not spend any time in quarantine to get checked out because they have orgies and dinners to go to.

This is an absolutely stupid show. Very disappointed.

Here is the thing though. Look in the lounge, go look at rival sites, there are tons and tons of stupid people. So when I hear script like that, I have no problem with it.

I heard the books weren't any good, so I'm not all that surprised by the show.

After last night I'm only watching now because I'm reminded of my youth watching Creature Feature on Saturday nights.

hmm.....so I noticed just last night that I'd missed the premier. I DVR searched and saw that episode 1 wasn't anywhere in sight....so I shrugged and said the hell with it. if I can't start at the beginning I won't start at all (I'm like that...gotta start at the beginning).

but after reading this.....looks like I'd be wasting my time anyways.
THANKS CP!
