Helix- are you watching?

[Othello]

This has fast become one of my favorite tv shows to watch. Is anyone else here enjoying this show?

There's a thread in the Sci-fi and fantasy forum for it. Seems like most of the people left watching it here are hate-watching it, though.

 

[Mister Fandango]

It's not hate watching so much as can't-believe-someone-wrote-this-with-a-straight-face watching. It's unintentionally hilarious. I mean, it features immortal gods, genius zombies, global conspiracies, megacorporations, utterly incompetent super-professional doctors, eskimos, mad scientists, faked childhoods, villainous heads, ultra-hot Daft Punk assassins, and evil-turned-good super-soldiers all at the same time. What's to hate?

 

[Random_Spock]

I am. It's far from perfect, but it's entertaining enough.

 

[Enterprise is Great]

Still watching though I'm 3 episodes behind. I like the show but I've got a bunch of shows I'd rather watch ahead of it. It's on the bottom of my to watch list.

It's actually Inuit.

I'm watching it just to see how they're going to wrap it up. Same as I did last summer with Under The Dome.

Oh really?

While you're at it, please feel free to correct me for calling the strike team "Daft Punk assassins," the vectors "genius zombies," and the special forces guy a "super-soldier."

 

[Othello]

Personally I really enjoy it warts pointed out here and all. I find it to be very entertaining. Enough so where i can very easily look past a lot. if I'm entertained I'm happy. Doesn't have to be ultra realistic, just a fun watch.

Did you miss this part in from the very article you linked too?

In Canada and Greenland the term Eskimo is widely held by the indigenous peoples to be pejorative and has fallen out of favour, largely supplanted by the term Inuit.

Did you 1) miss the rest of my post, where I was clearly using broad, generic, commonly-used terms for aspects of the show and 2) where "Inuit" is no more correct than "eskimo" is except by a bunch of whiny people trying to pretend that they're offended by a term that is no way offensive, who in turn have just stolen another incorrect term to use for them?

It's like saying that Asians aren't Asians just because they're from Japan. Doubly so when they instead prefer to be called Chinese when they are, in fact, Japanese.

Get the fuck over it.

 

[TheSeeker]

Stay classy.

Dr Hiroshi Hatake is a very interesting character. And i find the actress who plays Dr Julia Walker sexy.

I will watch the show until the end.
