They try to establish a contrast between technology and fringe science in the most spineless way. What year is this supposed to be? Everything looks like it’s taking place now. So, in order to show more of a contrast they introduce 1 building in which the architecture and people within are straight out of an anime. This was to establish what real science was I’d presume. It’s a logical step in story telling, but having science confined to 1 building destroys the real effect I believe they where going for.

This was the exact moment I realized this show wasn’t going to do it for me. If they wanted to show a contrast between science and fringe science this show probably should have taken place in the future. Where this technology was common use in society. This would have made this science seem more taboo. Instead by the end of the episode they have shown that there is no difference between the two. The pinnacle of science is using fringe science.

That being said, I don’t really like any of the characters. I found it hard to relate to any character even partially. The story of the first episode just wasn’t big enough. It felt like if this was the best they had to offer then don’t bother. The pattern is their hook, I guess that could be interesting. I’ll watch the second one since you recommend it. But this series is just screaming a b rated X-Files with a heavy reliance on the creature of the week style formula.

This was just a good time. I think you might have been expecting too much due to all the hype. It held a great 1950s satire vibe to it with a fresh twist. It wasn’t supposed to be very realistic but the actions still had weight to them. Atleast that’s the way I see it.

Why did someone had to die? The situation went against the tone already set throughout the piece. Yes, it was surprising, and it carried a message, but it felt forced and wasn’t handled realistically, at least for me. Nevertheless, I could see someone liking it.

I loved it, because I think it accomplished everything it set out to do. It told the story very well. The quality was far better then any web series I’ve seen. I’m always much more impressed by indy projects that reach a quality finish (especially comics)then anything mainstream.

I totally disagree with you about the ending. There is no other way that it could have happened. Someone had to die. And this really finished the story. I think it works well as a short story that isn’t just a intro. I see no reason for them to continue it, except to cash in on all the hype.
