Man, this is one heady show. It's crazy. Like Lost on acid. Anyone else watching this? Is this a new series or just a mini series?

Definately a strange show and quite a bit different than the original. Unfortunately, I think the story was sold short due to time constraints. This is (was) a story that needed at least an entire season, or maybe even two, to tell the story with some justice.
With that said, I didn't like the ending. I won't say what happened here as it wouldn't be fair to those who haven't seen it yet. If you haven't seen it, pay attention to everything!

Is this a picture from the set? Is this what you were doing in Groom Lakes, Nevada?
really? didnt like the ending? i watched the thing on demand, and the 1967 one is up there too. is that one better? if so i will give it a shot, but i thought there was enough in there to make it a great mini series (to maki- yes- just six 1hr episodes- not a real series i guess).
i just finished watching the last of it earlier today, and i thought it was on par with the matrix or dark city, as far as those kind of plots go. you know what i mean? like, i needed to process it afterward, and that made it even better. im a big fan of those mind **** sorts of shows/movies.
amc has some great stuff going (big breaking bad fan), plus terminator 2 is on nearly 24/7. cant go wrong there (i remember the channel being all black and white or old crap movies a number of years ago... or was that the turner classic movie station im thinking of?).
anyway, if youve got it on demand, watch it, and if you dont, im sure they will rerun it a million times.
I'll say I've never seen a television show advertise itself as much during its own commercial breaks...
hahahahaha, right? oh man, even on demand its got the full commercial breaks, and there are like 3 ads per break. i dont get the point of that. glad somebody else noticed.
I also didn't like how they included previews in every break. If I'm already watching the show, I can sit through a commercial break. I've done it thousands of times. I do not need to see short clips of what I'm going to be seeing in 3-4 minutes.
I believe that insults the viewer.

I think the point was to slow down the TIVO'ers and make 'em watch a few commercials.
