the worst thing about this

It's not the low budget, not the cast, not the writing, not the cgi, not even Calista and Crispin.

It's this board full of über pathetic haters who are seemingly drunk on the hatorade, but for unfathomable reason are still on the board 10 weeks later cause they are still watching it.

Unless someone is holding a gun to your head or paying you millions, just stop already and leave off, no? It's like people complaining about Sesame Street or game of thrones. You should be in or out by the first episode, man.

Clever people will recognize and tolerate nothing but cleverness.

I disagree. Calista IS the worst thing about this show. The actress is unbearable. And it feels like the show is somehow centered around her which make me want to cry.

It's impossible for me to be annoyed by this girl now. See, I watch Arrow as well.

Plus, Crispin and Chaotic chick take the cake. When you contrast those too... Plus in hindsight, her thing with getting her power makes a ton of sense. Unless she killed retro girl, I don't mind her now at all.

You're absolutely right, I hadn't watched to the end. I'm not gonna lie here, I genuinely can't wait to see Calista's story next season. I'm still pissed at the acting, but I'm hoping the story takes me away from that. I know there was mention of a Black Swan? ?. I also haven't read the graphic novel so I think I'll be pleasantly surprised.

Dude, it's not a fan board.

You can jizz all over yourself while watching this show to your hearts content.

Other people can dislike it.

Who cares...

Due to the lack of moderators, trolls can ruin the IMDB message boards. Don't feed them.

It's just annoying. They're on every board on imdb - people who watch every episode of a show and then complain like if they've never even considered the not watching option - it's just their concentration here seems ridiculous.

Nothing jizz-related at all.

Please don't launch into you guys' Right to Hate rhetoric, I've heard it before from many other proud upstanding haters in the community.

All I'm saying: it's sooooooooooo annoying.

You don't have to complain ... you can just not read the comments.

I just came here today, for the first time, to pour some hate.
Why?
I finished the series today. It's not like everybody saw it on release.

And why didn't I quit after the first or second episode?
As awful as it was, I hoped that it would get better. And I thought that there must be a reason why the score on imdb isn't zero. I still don't see why the score is that high though.

Watching a movie that turns out bad is one thing, that's 3 hours max, but ten episodes of a new series that you don't like from the start hoping it would get better? Then you come to pour hate?

So many TV series to watch, why watch a zero show? What is the opinion of someone who watches an entire 10 episodes of a zero show worth, even? Do you watch Bachelorette and Real Housewives too hoping it gets better? You watching Olympus too, cause that might get better, you know.

Score is probably that high because normal people tend to only watch and vote on tv series they like to some extent.

I get hate watching, but you guys watch 10 episodes and then come on the board with this is unwatchable garbage. What kind of discussion is that supposed to stimulate aside from, "yeah, garbage. I watched the whole thing. Just to make sure it was garbage. Everything was bad. So bad. The horror. *hate it*"

First of all, where else to vent?

Second, it wasn't really worth zero, but the share disappointment was enough to give it the lowest possible vote anyways.

There is real garbage that I will not even get close to touching, and so this isn't comparable to that.

And "hate".. That term is used loosely nowadays. It's more like listings of things I didn't like about the show. Criticisms.

I think a lot of people, and me included, watched it hoping that it would get better. I really wanted it to be good. It has certain similarities to Watchmen, which I love. It could have been really great, but it turned out (to be honest) very very average, and far worse than most modern shows (that I watch) usually are.

I don't really hope to achieve anything by writing this. It would be cool if the creators/writers of the show read on these boards, and actually did something to make it better next season, but I doubt it. At best others will agree with my comments, and at worst I just get to vent. It's a win win.

Well, by the lovely u curve you've got coming in on your ratings distribution, I can only assume that this is just how you do. Good luck with the hate and the vent, sir.

For me the one thing that takes me completely out of this show is the horrendous CGI effects. The acting sucks too, but I just roll with that. The CGI though, every time they show someone flying in or out of scene, and the green screen is so obvious; woof.
