Discuss the eight episode.

I think it was actually a pretty decent episode - about time we get one... For once, things seemed to move on at the right pace, and we got a nice build-up for the two parter season finale. And it was nice to see Blair Brown.

First episode of this show that I really liked and enjoyed, not to mention being scared. Not gonna write spoilers yet in case people haven't watched the episode but one scene in particular managed to freak me out, and will probably give me nightmares, but it's all good

Great episode. This show started growing about three to four episodes back and I hope we will see a great season finale next week.

I am just watching because of Carter from ER now. Dunno, I really want to like it but it's just not good. It's like Spielberg keeps trying to make shows that are the same as in his heyday. He needs to move on.

You mean move on to modern instantly forgetable popcorn flicks. The guy's films have made billions, if it aint broke...

Actually i was talking about modern tv like Battlestar Galactica, or Fringe. Or the West Wing, or the Sopranos. Spielberg is partly to blame for Hollywood's obsession with popcorn flicks.

you have a pt. speilberg because he is so talented, so famous and so ubiqutious he can't hit it out of the park 100%...he did one of my favorite sci fi tv "mini-series"...called "taken" with dakota fanning as a 6y/o. absolutly incredable...along with many more stars that are more pop today...10 eps...check it out...there are popcorn moments,but those are not as bad as all that...there is a kind of popular trend to rag on guys like speilberg because it is cool to. i don't think you are doing that. from what i can see he works around the clock with alot of care given to his projects...but i am hardly an insider...i think i was hoping for a star trek like series with a ship traveling the uni and seperate ep with an ongoing mytholoy that does not guide every moment,with cliffhagers at the end of each ep to bring you back...clearly we have the opposite...but i think they are doing a pretty good job all in all for the soap opera style that has become so popular since the 80's...
