Past Lifer 1957-2014 In Memoriam
Just a PSA. I have sooooooo forgotten most of what happened in the first season... There was just so much crap, watching all the stupidity was like a drinking game. Still, I'll probably give it a try again.😀
 
Wow, I thought this got cancelled! It's not a "great" show, but it was ok. The season finale actually made things look like they might get interesting.

Yeah, not a great show, but OK summer replacement fare. I doubt it'll ever get GOOD...but I hope it remains watchable.

I was ready for a good Sci-Fi show, sadly this wasn't it.

Dude...it's a TNT show...why would you expect "GOOD?" For summer time shows, "watchable" is about the best you should expect.

(Suits seems to be the exception to that)
 
That entire show went from bad to worse as the season 1 progressed. So much could have been done with it, so little was. It probably would have been better as a simple miniseries, say 4 or 5 episodes.

The freaking sci-fi channel, known for self produced movies such as this gem,

Also gave us Battlestar Galactica. So frankly, I expect a lot from TNT.

This is a poor man's "Walking Dead" and that's saying something because The Walking Dead is pretty hokey. Just because something is on in the summer doesn't mean you have to watch it 😛
 
I can't remember if I even finished S1 or gave up because it seemed like a dramatic show about adults who hang out in a school cafeteria. With that said, I have it set to record tonight.

I still don't understand why they are not making more bullets out of the mech metal as that was the only thing capable of stopping them from normal guns.

Hell, they are even using a bullet that acted like a flame thrower.

This is a source of wonderment. I also wonder why they made a big deal of a flying ship that could detect heat, as if it shouldn't be a given (even police helicopters have infrared). And there was a point with a bunch of people in a field running away and you get to see that the mechs actually have extremely good targeting, so why they don't shoot as well in fire fights who knows.

All that said I like the show quite a bit and always watch it.
 
Remember that to take down 1 mech they used almost all the mech ammo they had made.


And the mechs have very accurate spot targeting, but it takes them some amount of time for movement targeting. And most. Of the time they are firing (unlike in the field) both the mech and the people are moving.

They weren't surprised about them having heat targeting, just that they had refined it allowing them to pinpoint smaller heat signatures than they did before.

I don't remember how much metal they had to make them initially but they never gather the parts up when they destroy them with other means.

Also it does not take that much metal for one bullet and they simply sprayed the gunfire the last time they took one down so it should be easy enough to use much less bullets next time.
