As someone who ADORED "Children of Earth," I was really looking forward to this. And, one episode in, it did not disappoint. Pre-cut, I'll just say, oh, Rusty, how I've missed you. Now THIS is how you make some damn good television! Characters and plot and action, but mostly CHARACTERS!
- I fucking love Eve Myles. Love her, love her, love her. I know Gwen gets a LOT of shit in this fandom, but I've adored her from day one, and this just reconfirms my love. She's smart, sassy, quick-tongued, caring, bad-ass and just all-around awesome. LOVE. HER!
- Wow, who knew an older Bill Pullman could look so much like Robert DeNiro? (Or just me?)
- I knew the premise, but seeing it play out was really cool.
- I'm not a huge Jack fan, never will be, but I still grinned when I saw him for the first time, and when he showed up in Wales, I grinned hugely and cried out "JACK!"
- And I wasn't the only one happy, Gwen's face! SO MUCH LOVE. I said it
butterfly, she loves Rhys, totally, but she's in love with Jack and likely always will be.
- Eek! Jack can get hurt. Eek!
- "Owen Harper." Awww!
- Mekhi Phifer is doing a great job, I love his Rex. And Alexa Havins (who I know only from reading hatred spewed her character's way (Babe) on All My Children) was great as Esther. New characters, real and well-written and played out in episode one.
- Cute baby!
- The four months projection was like WHOAH!
- Loved seeing Andy; I always adored him, so yay!
I can't wait to see what happens next! :)
I so need to make an updated TW icon, LOL! Done!
