I'm not sure I would go that far yet. I was a bit disappointed that S2 & 3 didn't really live up to the promise of S1, but it's still going in the right sort of direction and I'm looking forward to...
Yeah, that bit did stick out like a sore thumb. It's hard to pick a single low-point but that was probably it.
For the avoidance of doubt, without wishing to "spoil" anything for those who haven't...
Predator? I think you might be right. That said it's a fairly common sort of "alien noise" that's presumably meant to sound a bit like a rattlesnake, but bassier (hence, bigger and even more...

With enough effort we...
Yeah, I thought it could have been better, but it's not as bad as everyone has been making out. Will definitely watch the next part.
Not exactly, it's clearly the "red weed" but the book...
I think I'll keep all my watches, but I may still check this out.
