Really enjoying S6


At first I was like, "sigh, here we go again with the infighting and killing each other but on a different planet with a new strain of whatever is on that planet (moon)" but it soon picked up and I was hooked about this mysterious contagion in the air that affects the senses and fills them with hallucinations of our deepest fears or regrets.

I’m looking forward to next week and finding out more about the people living outside the shield.

I'm also really liking this season so far. I'm intrigued about the people on the new planet and the home they've made. But I think there's going to be a lot of conflict, given the two warring groups on the ground plus the rough group still on cryo sleep on the ship.

I just finished the season. It's pretty much non-stop tension. Very good! Can't wait for season 7.

reply

Right, now things will be changing greatly, again! They're always in some kind of turmoil, but I like how the group pulled together to block the leaders of the colony from the nasty actions they were hiding from their own people. It will be interesting to see how season 7 progresses with the colony and as they wake the rest of the people on the ship. They lost a few people, notably Marcus and Clarke's mother plus of course most of the Primes.

Also Murphy is a total mystery. Love him, hate him or both?

reply

Both, definitely both. Never thought he would make it out of Season 1 alive, but he's really grown on me.

reply

Agreed, love/hate Murphy. But he is growing on me also, but I'm sure he'll pull more back handed stuff and we have to expect that as it's his nature.

reply

Season 7 will be the final season.

reply

Yes, the final season. I was a bit surprised but I think it can be argued that it's gone on long enough and time for the remaining humans to get to some kind of end point. Hopefully begin to have some stability, depending how it ends. There is a whole new civilization of humans to contend with, whether they're from Earth or not. Seems they're a new civ of more advanced people.

I think they could've done the transition to another planet a bit better. The writers nuked season 5 in order to get it done. Season 5 wasn't consistent with the characters' motivations from season 1-4. C'mon now writers.

reply

Yeah, we're still not seeing all about the new civ, and after the last episode they seem as fanatical or cult like as any of the others. Going to be a struggle in how things shape up. Almost seems like not enough time for it all to come together for the final season.
